The sophomore big man announced his plans to transfer out of the program on Monday, telling his fans and followers on Twitter, “The past two years at Kentucky have been an amazing journey and I want to thank all of my coaches, teammates, and fans who made it possible. After much deliberation with my family, I have decided that it is in my best interest to ask for my release and explore other opportunities at this time. Thank you for your support through this process!”
To some, the news of Killeya-Jones’ departure came as a huge surprise. But to others, it was somewhat predictable, given some February rumors and now the addition of EJ Montgomery.
