John Calipari is excited about his 2019-20 Kentucky basketball roster but is leaving the door open to further additions. Jon Hale, Louisville Courier Journal
LEXINGTON - Kentucky fans will get to watch Virginia Tech graduate transfer Kerry Blackshear play in Rupp Arena next season. He just won’t be wearing a UK jersey.
Blackshear, the top available graduate transfer this offseason, committed to SEC rival Florida Wednesday after taking an official visit to Lexington last week. John Calipari had targeted the 6-foot-10, 250-pound forward as the final piece for his 2019-20 roster.
Perhaps foreshadowing Blackshear’s choice, Calipari downplayed the need for further additions at a news conference Saturday.
