John Calipari has already landed one graduate transfer for next season.
Could the Cats go after another?
Virginia Tech big man Kerry Blackshear Jr. — a 6-foot-10, 250-pound player — has added his name to the college basketball transfer portal, and he would be immediately eligible to play at another school next season if he does indeed leave Blacksburg this summer.
Calipari recently accepted the commitment of Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina — listed at 6-9, 245 pounds — but the Cats have been on the lookout for additional frontcourt help next season.
