Sacha Killeya-Jones’ transfer from Kentucky basketball will be something of a homecoming. He tweeted Tuesday that he planned to transfer to North Carolina State, which is about 28 miles from his hometown of Chapel Hill, N.C.
“Extremely excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at NC State University!” Killeya-Jones tweeted.
Fred Cannon, who coached Killeya-Jones on the AAU level, said the chance to play in his home area factored in the decision. Killeya-Jones had attended a boarding school throughout high school, and then played two seasons for Kentucky, Cannon said.
