Overview
- Wilkins, whose commitment was reported Saturday, arrives with three years of eligibility after a breakout freshman season at Furman.
- He started 35 games and averaged 17.8 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 46% from the field and 32.8% from three.
- On3 ranks him No. 30 overall and No. 9 among shooting guards, making him Kentucky’s highest-rated transfer addition so far this cycle.
- He projects as a key piece next to point guard Zoom Diallo, though Kentucky plans to lift his three-point accuracy and cut a 3.8-turnover-per-game rate to fit Mark Pope’s spacing-heavy system.
- The Wildcats still have roster work to do, with returnees like Trent Noah, Kam Williams, and Reece Potter in place, Malachi Moreno testing the NBA Draft waters, and Braydon Hawthorne yet to formalize his status.
