Kentucky to have zoom meeting with huge transfer portal option

Recent reports say that former Michigan State forward Jaxon Kohler is headed to BYU. However, Kentucky basketball is going to get their shot to impress him.

On Tuesday, a California court ruled that the class of 2022 athletes that were ruled eligible by a separate ruling can enter the transfer portal, and head to a different school. That includes Kohler, a Wildcats target.

Now, just a day after Kohler’s ability to transfer was upheld, Kentucky will host him on a Zoom call, according to Kentucky Sports Radio. The Cats have a talented frontcourt, but are short on experience, and could use a veteran who can rebound, but can also step outside and make shots.

Last season, Kohler averaged 12.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for Michigan State while making over 39% of his three-pointers. He’s also a very good free throw shooter who made nearly 87% of his freebies.

Landing Kohler would be a big win for a Kentucky team looking to bounce back from a disappointing year. It fills a big need, and catapults them even more into the national championship discussion. BYU is likely still the favorite, but Pope will get his shot to change his mind.
