News broke Thursday that the Kentucky Wildcats were attempting to get Jacob Toppin eligible for the 2020-21 college hoops season.
Toppin, who transferred in from Rhode Island this offseason, was expected to sit out this year due to NCAA transfer rules, but also because UK wanted him to sit and develop for a year while redshirting, then take on a big role for this team in 2021-22.
However, the younger brother of Obi Toppin has the potential to make a big impact now for a Wildcats team looking to make it back to the Final Four for the first time since 2015.
