LEXINGTON – Since the last time we checked in on the list of possible transfer and high school recruiting targets for Kentucky basketball’s 2021-22 roster three weeks ago, much has changed.
Transfers Garrison Brooks (Mississippi State), Adam Miller (LSU) and Mac McLung (Texas Tech) are off the board. Several new names have replaced them.
Meanwhile, the list of confirmed players for next season’s Kentucky team has taken another hit. McDonald’s All-American point guard Nolan Hickman was released from his letter of intent. Senior guard Davion Mintz officially declared for the NBA draft while leaving the door open to a return to UK to use the NCAA’s extra year of eligibility.
