The Impact Transfers Who Will Help Shape the 2018–19 College Basketball Season

The college basketball hierarchy was shaken up on June 20th when Reid Travis announced he was heading to Kentucky. Though it had been rumored that Travis would end up in Lexington for several weeks since he announced his decision to leave Stanford as a grad transfer, it was finally official. All of a sudden, opposing coaches had to deal with the fact that John Calipari has something he has never had during his time at Kentucky: a star senior. In fact, Cal has had just five seniors average more than 20 minutes per game during his eight seasons at UK: Josh Harrellson in 2010–11, Darius Miller in 2011–12, Julius Mays in 2012–13, Alex Poythress in 2015–16 and Derek Willis in 2016–17.
