Kentucky Wildcats freshman forward Bryce Hopkins becomes the latest Wildcat to enter his name into the transfer portal, he announced today. He joins Dontaie Allen as players who’ve entered the portal so far since the season ended.
Hopkins was a former 4-star prospect out of Chicago and was originally committed to Louisville, but decommitted from the Cardinals in favor of John Calipari and his Wildcats.
During his one season in Lexington, Hopkins averaged 6.4 minutes per game and 2.1 points per game on 43% shooting from the field and 1.4 rebounds per game.
Most notably, Hopkins had a breakout game against the LSU Tigers at Rupp Arena this past season, when the Wildcats were playing without Sahvir Wheeler and TyTy Washington, Hopkins stepped up and scored 13 points off the bench in just 16 minutes, and gave Kentucky a mostly comfortable lead against the Tigers.
