UK announced the addition of graduate transfer Nate Sestina on Thursday, officially welcoming the veteran post player to the Wildcats basketball program on the second day of the spring signing period.
Sestina — a 6-foot-9, 245-pound post player from Emporium, Pa. — averaged 15.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game for Bucknell this past season and is on track to graduate next month with a degree in geography. ESPN recently named him the No. 3 graduate transfer for this off-season recruiting cycle, and he’s expected to have an immediate impact at Kentucky.
