A commitment announcement is coming for San Diego State transfer Keshad Johnson, one that is expected to favor the Wildcats — just not the Kentucky Wildcats.

Coming off a visit to Lexington, the 6-foot-7 wing graduated from SDSU on Sunday before turning to the decision process regarding the second and final stop of his college basketball career. Kentucky joined Arizona — his second-to-last visit — as the clear 1A and 1B options, with Johnson prioritizing winning first and foremost.

“I would say the main thing with him is he’s a winner. The connection between coaches and teammates is really important,” Johnson’s longtime coach and mentor, Don Manning-Fuimaono, told KSR.
