If the Wildcats can maximize their financial resources and land key players in the portal, they could soon return to the upper echelon of college basketball.

According to Jeff Borzello of ESPN, guard Kerr Kriisa has entered the transfer portal. The 24-year-old played just nine games for Kentucky in 2024-25 before a foot injury ended his season. He averaged 4.4 points and 3.8 assists in 17.3 minutes per game.

Big Z is jumping back in the portal after one season in Fayetteville. Zvonimir Ivisic, who started his career at Kentucky before transferring to Arkansas following John Calipari’s departure, will explore his options for a third consecutive offseason.
