What should Kentucky fans expect from Davidson grad transfer Kellan Grady? I dialed up my alma mater to find out. Matt McKillop, Davidson’s associate head coach and son of Bob McKillop, the Wildcats’ longtime coach, was more than happy to talk about Grady, the beloved four-year starter that will use his extra year of eligibility at Kentucky next season. Based on our conversation, the Cats are gaining not only a player who fills one of the biggest voids on the roster, but a person uniquely suited for the unusual challenge ahead of him.
Grady, a Boston native, arrived at Davidson as a Top 70 prospect and a first-team all-state selection with dreams of being the next Steph Curry.
