Kerry Blackshear Jr. is a name to watch in the coming days. The former Virginia Tech big man announced he will leave Blacksburg as a graduate transfer for his final year of college basketball next season. Soon after he shared the news, ESPN ranked him as its top transfer on the market this spring.
Blackshear will probably take a glance at Kentucky as a potential landing spot, and it’s easy to think John Calipari will entertain the idea of adding him as another weapon inside. In fact, a source told KSR the two sides have already been in contact with one another about bringing Blackshear in as a grad transfer next season.
