Kentucky is pursuing a new name in the transfer portal: Marcus Bagley

Even on a day that Kentucky picked up a marquee transfer with the addition of CJ Fredrick, John Calipari is not slowing down in the transfer portal. That’s because on Wednesday night, KSR learned that Kentucky has reached out to another prominent transfer: Marcus Bagley, the younger brother of former Duke forward Marvin Bagley, who just finished his freshman season at Arizona State.

Kentucky is just one of many high-profile schools who is clearly interested in Bagley.

College hoops transfer news: Source tells me Marcus Bagley, who just finished his freshman year at Arizona State has heard from these schools:

Kansas, Kentucky, LSU, DePaul, Wazzu, Texas Tech, Oregon, SDSU, Arkansas, USC

SUPER talented wing who is also testing NBA Draft waters

Bagley is a different player from his older brother, much more of a wing at 6’8 than true low post player, but was one of the best freshmen anywhere in college hoops this season.
