Another one of Kentucky’s former transfer portal targets found a home other than Lexington as Kennesaw State’s Adrian Wooley committed to Pat Kelsey in Louisville.
Wooley made a public post confirming his commitment on social media with the caption being just red and black hearts.
Wooley was a hot commodity when he hopped in the portal as a freshman, receiving interest immediately from Kentucky as well as other major programs such as Auburn, Alabama and Louisville.
Wooley averaged 18.8 points per game with 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists a night, shooing 51% from the field with the Owls.
Unfortunately for Kentucky, while Wooley was still a target for Pope and his staff, the freshman, who hails from Tuscaloosa, seemingly cut his list down to just four schools: Louisville, Alabama, Auburn and Kansas, taking a visit to Louisville prior to his commitment.
With Kentucky out of the race, Cats fans were forced to watch and wait to determine where Wooley would be playing basketball next season. The answer: just down the road.
Kentucky and Louisville have an annual meeting every season, so the Wildcat faithful are destined to see Wooley next season even if its not in blue and white like they’d hoped.
