Georgia guard transfer Sahvir Wheeler is a Wildcat, committing to Kentucky over Kansas, LSU and Oklahoma State, among offers and interest from several other programs.
“Ultimately, after long conversation and deep, deep analyzation of every program, I’m going to commit to the University of Kentucky and play under Coach Cal,” Wheeler told Jeff Goodman on the The Field Of 68. Wheeler, who earned second-team All-SEC honors after averaging 14.0 points, 7.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals per contest at Georgia last season, chose Kentucky because of the program’s rich tradition and his desire to make a run in the NCAA Tournament.
