Kentucky is eyeing one of the top players in the transfer portal
Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats are preparing to play the Tennessee Volunteers in the Sweet 16 on Friday. However, the transfer portal is open, and they are recruiting for next season at the same time. One player they are focusing on is Dedan Thomas.
Thomas was a four-star recruit out of high school and ranked as a top 40 player in his class. He chose UNLV and played there the past two seasons. This past season, he averaged 15.6 points and 4.7 assists per game.
247Sports ranks Thomas among the top five available players in the portal. He’s an effective scorer and a quality passer. He also shoots it pretty well from deep, having made 35% from there last season. He was named third-team All-Mountain West.
Pope’s first transfer class turned out to be one of the nation’s best. The Wildcats figure to add multiple players again this year, and Thomas would be a quality start to this year’s class.
