Kentucky men’s basketball received its eighth transfer on Wednesday afternoon as West Virginia’s Kerr Kriisa announced that he would be committing to Mark Pope and the Wildcats.

Last year, in his senior season, Kriisa averaged 11 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists through 23 games while averaging 33.5 minutes per contest. 

The Estonia native shot 42.9% from the field and 42.4% from deep with the Mountaineers while shooting 77.5% at the charity stripe.

Before being a Mountaineer, Kriisa spent three years at Arizona where he averaged 5.5 points his freshman year, 9.7 points his sophomore year and 9.9 points his junior year. 

Kriisa was the second transfer to commit to Kentucky on Wednesday as Dayton transfer Koby Brea announced his decision a few hours prior.
