LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky could be close to adding a graduate transfer next season.

ESPN’s Jeff Goodman and 247Sports’ Evan Daniels have both reported Stanford forward Reid Travis will remove his name from the NBA draft but will transfer instead of returning to Stanford next season. Both reporters say Kentucky is the favorite to land Travis’ services.

A first-team All-Pac-12 selection last season, Travis averaged 19.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game as a redshirt junior. He shot 29.5 percent (18 for 61) from 3-point range and 67.
