With the transfer portal officially open, Kentucky Basketball continues to show interest in multiple players.
According to Jacob Polacheck of KSR, Kentucky has shown early interest in Oregon junior forward Kwame Evans Jr., a versatile frontcourt player coming off a strong season with the Ducks.
Evans, who has spent all three of his collegiate seasons at Oregon, is coming off a productive junior campaign. He averaged 13.3 points (45.4% shooting from the field and 30.4% from deep), 7.4 rebounds, 2.0
assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, while recording four double-doubles.
Despite the reported interest, Polacheck also notes that Kentucky has not yet scheduled a Zoom meeting or an official campus visit with Evans. However, there is familiarity between the two sides. Kentucky was involved in Evans’ recruitment during his high school process under former head coach John Calipari.
In addition to exploring transfer options, Evans is also expected to test the NBA Draft waters, leaving his future uncertain for now.
As the portal window opens and roster movement intensifies, Kentucky appears to be actively evaluating its options in hopes of strengthening its lineup for next season.
