Making sense of Kahlil Whitney’s decision to leave Kentucky

A few hours ago, Kahlil Whitney announced he is leaving the Kentucky Basketball program. Whitney’s statement does not specify whether or not he’s transferring or simply leaving school to prepare for the NBA or to play overseas, but one thing is for certain: his career as a Kentucky Wildcat has come to an end. He is the fifth McDonald’s All-American to leave Kentucky in the John Calipari Era, joining Quade Green, Sacha Killeya-Jones, Marcus Lee, and Kyle Wiltjer.
