We found out early Tuesday afternoon that the Kentucky Wildcats had secured a commitment from Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina.
Sestina visited Lexington from Monday through Wednesday, his only visit, and committed shortly thereafter.
The 6-9, 245-pound power forward averaged 15.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game for the Bison last season. He also shot 38 percent from three and 81.8 percent from the foul line.
Although John Calipari was originally against taking grad transfers, Reid Travis changed his mind. And there’s no doubt Travis’ success led Kentucky to pursue Sestina, and vice versa.
