Another former Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball player — Riley Welch — has been added to the UK staff as a graduate assistant coach for the 2021-22 season.
Welch just finished his two-year career with the Wildcats and graduated in May with an undergraduate degree in liberal studies. He plans to pursue a Master of Business Administration.
In his new role, Welch will be involved in all on-court activities including practices, individual workouts and film sessions. He’ll also assist the staff with practice and game-plan preparation.
The 6-foot, 180-pound native of Colorado appeared in 34 career games as a Division I player split between two years at Kentucky and one at UC Irvine.
