With the news that veteran point guard Sahvir Wheeler has entered the transfer portal, it’s safe to say that portal season is now in full effect in college basketball.
The Wildcats, no stranger to the portal themselves, fielded a roster in the 2022-23 season that comprised of five transfers including Jacob Toppin, from Rhode Island, CJ Fredrick, from Iowa, Wheeler, from Georgia, Antonio Reeves, from Illinois State and reigning consensus National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe, who came to Kentucky from West Virginia.
While the team itself benefitted from the portal, it also lost several names to the portal, many of which were active on other teams in the 2022-23 season.
