LEXINGTON — John Calipari search for another big man for his 2019-20 roster goes on.
Purdue graduate transfer Matt Haarms committed to BYU on Thursday over Kentucky and Texas Tech.
The 7-foot-3 forward averaged 8.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game at Purdue. Haarms ranks fourth on Purdue's career shot blocks list with 210.
While Haarms was not a dominant post presence at Purdue, he would have been a much-needed addition to a Kentucky program needing to replace eight of the nine players who scored a point last season.
