Kentucky reaches out to Detroit Mercy star Antoine Davis

Kentucky has reached out to the third-leading scorer in college basketball — and someone with close ties to the program.

Detroit Mercy star Antoine Davis, who averaged 23.9 points per game as a senior in 2021-22, entered the transfer portal on Thursday. Since then, the 6-foot-1, 165-pound guard has heard from Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, Auburn, Maryland, Alabama, Purdue, Ohio State, LSU, Kansas State, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Cincinnati, Hofstra, Minnesota and Central Florida.

Stadium’s Jeff Goodman was the first to report Kentucky’s interest.

Davis broke Stephen Curry’s freshman 3-point record with 132 makes from deep and averaged 24.
