Kofi Cockburn, now the No. 1 transfer, calls UK a “serious option” and praises Orlando Antigua

Now that Kofi Cockburn has withdrawn from the NBA Draft, it sounds like a decision on where he’ll play this fall will happen fairly quickly.

In an interview with ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, Cockburn said he wants to have a decision made soon and could start taking visits to other schools, though none have been scheduled as of Tuesday afternoon.

In terms of interest in Kentucky, Cockburn called the school a “serious option” and cited Orlando Antigua as a major reason the All-American is transferring.

“He’s the reason I went to Illinois,” Cockburn said of Antigua.
