Sahvir Wheeler understands UK is a different type of Blue Blood program: “It’s the bluest of blues”

The term “Blue Blood” when used to describe a high-ranking program gets thrown around far more often than it should be, but Sahvir Wheeler knows the difference.

The latest transfer addition to next season’s Kentucky Wildcats Men’s Basketball Team, Wheeler comes to Lexington after spending his first two seasons as Georgia–a fellow member of the Southeastern Conference and a respectable school in its own right, but nothing remotely close to resembling a “Blue Blood”. Wheeler is no stranger to the bright lights of SEC basketball, but playing on the main stage as a Kentucky Wildcat is a bit different than his previous life in Athens.
