Nate Sestina, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Emporium, Pennsylvania, will be joining Kentucky as a graduate transfer in the upcoming season. The former member of the Bucknell Bison is following in the footsteps of Reid Travis, who transferred from Stanford to play out his final year with the Wildcats.
Many have heard about Sestina and have at least a vague notion of what he can do for Kentucky, but his commitment has been overshadowed by questions of whether or not sophomore forward E.J. Montgomery would stay in the NBA draft or return to Kentucky, and most recently by talks of whether or not Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear Jr.
