After helping Eastern Washington take Kansas to the wire in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Kim Aiken Jr. and some of his teammates entered the transfer portal this spring determined to take their games to another level.
“We had the exposure a little bit, me, Tanner Groves, Jake Groves, to go on and move further,” Aiken said Thursday in an interview with WildcatsRadio1290.
Arizona was quick to express interest in Aiken. Associate head coach Jack Murphy knew about him when he coached at NAU, one of Eastern Washington’s Big Sky rivals.
