It’s wild to think that a year ago, most of us didn’t know who Reid Travis was. The grad transfer from Stanford quickly became one of the most lovable players of the John Calipari era, charming the Big Blue Nation with his bruising style, thoughtful commentary, and piercing stare. The saddest part of Sunday may have been the fact that the team came up one game short of bringing Reid back to his hometown of Minneapolis for the Final Four, which would have been a storybook ending to a special season.
A few minutes ago, Reid posted this message to Kentucky fans on Instagram, along with a video tribute to his time as a Wildcat.
