Could Kentucky center Ugonna Onyenso pull his name out of the transfer portal and return to Lexington for his sophomore campaign? It’s very much on the table, multiple sources tell KSR.
Onyenso entered the portal on April 5, looking to explore his options elsewhere after averaging just 6.9 minutes per contest as a freshman. It was a NIL-driven decision from the 6-foot-11 center’s camp, hoping to cash in on the standout defender’s potential with lucrative promises from other interested parties. Suitors have lined up and there is clear intrigue in the former five-star’s talent, but the financial guarantees have not followed as those around him have anticipated.
