The former class of 2025 recruit was someone Kentucky made a hard push for in Mark Pope\u2019s first season in Lexington, but the Huskies won out in the end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 7-1, 260-pound native of Germany averaged 5.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 13.8 minutes per game this season as a true freshman. He was a 4-star prospect ranked 28th overall in the 2025 class by 247 Sports Composite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Elsewhere, the Wildcats are showing interest in Butler combo guard Finley Bizjack, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/news\/butler-transfer-finley-bizjack-sets-big-12-sec-visits\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to On\u20193s Pete Nakos<\/a>. Bizjack is set to visit West Virginia and Ole Miss in the coming days, while Kentucky is working to get a visit as well, but nothing has been scheduled just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This past season, the 6-4, 190-pound native of Texas averaged 17.1 points on 42.6% shooting (34.9% on 3s), 2.5 assists, and 2.2 rebounds in 34 minutes per game. The soon-to-be senior primarily played at the point this season, but occasionally played at shooting guard over his first two seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You have to wonder how set Bizjack is on remaining a point guard at his next school and how open he is to sharing the primary ball-handler duties. Kentucky is making a run at several other point guards, so it\u2019s unclear how Mark Pope would sell Bizjack on coming to Lexington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kentucky Basketball has yet to land a transfer portal commitment, but thankfully, there are still plenty of good&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,292959,4720,85],"class_list":["post-601026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-kentucky-wildcats-mens-basketball-recruiting","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
