Fardaws Aimaq cuts Kentucky from list; sign Oscar Tshiebwe will return?

Kentucky was one of many schools to show interest in Utah Valley big man Fardaws Aimaq when he entered the transfer portal last month. Now, the second-best rebounder in college basketball has cut the Cats from his list, which is actually a great thing because it may mean Oscar Tshiebwe, the best rebounder in college basketball, will return to Kentucky for a senior season. Jonathan Givony is reporting Aimaq is now focusing on Washington, Iowa, Gonzaga, Texas Tech, and Texas while continuing to test the NBA Draft waters.

Just a few weeks ago, a report came out that Kentucky was one of the five schools Aimaq was focusing on the most along with Arkansas, Iowa, Texas Tech, and Washington.
