This decision is puzzling, but it also could be a sign of what’s to come soon. Kentucky is in great position to land Stanford graduate transfer Reid Travis, who removed his name from the NBA Draft on Wednesday. Travis also announced his plans to transfer from Stanford.

 

“Jarred had a difficult decision to make,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “I know he has been pulled in two different directions. On one hand he wants to show our fans what he can do in a full season and compete for a championship. I know he feels like he got that taken away from him this year. On the other hand, he’s seen how quickly this can be taken away. I completely understand and support his decision to get healthy and pursue his dreams now. As I said before, we’ve only seen a small part of his game because of the adversity he faced this season, but he’s got the motor and skill set that will serve him well at the next level.”
