A new name has popped up on the Kentucky Basketball transfer radar.
6-11 forward Sebastian Rancik, who has spent the last two seasons playing at Colorado, is visiting Kentucky.
Rancik, a native of Slovakia, canceled a visit with Indiana and will instead visit Lexington, according to On3’s Jamie Shaw.
Rancik saw notable improvement in his sophomore season at Colorado, jumping from just under 6 points per game as a freshman to over 12 points per game as a sophomore. This past season, Rancik also averaged
5.6 rebounds per game to go along with 2 assists per game.
Rancik shot 40% from the field and 33% from beyond the arc, an improvement from 25.8% the year prior all while increasing his 3-point attempts from 1.9 per game to 4.1 per game.
Rancik was also one of the best big men in the country when it comes to free-throw shooting, knocking down free throws at an 86% clip, which was the 4th-best percentage in the Big 12.
Rancik’s most notable performances this past season included a 17-point, 11-rebound performance against Arizona State, where he made 3/5 3-pointers. He also scored 20 points in a matchup against UCF.
Rancik is also planning a visit to BYU following the Kentucky visit. This recruitment could be worth keeping an eye on.
