Top Portal Guard Rob Wright III Sets First Visit to Kentucky on Monday
The trip signals Kentucky’s push to lock in elite transfers before the April 21 portal deadline.
Overview
- Rob Wright III, who entered the transfer portal last week, is scheduled to visit Lexington on Monday for his first campus trip since leaving BYU.
- On3 ranks him No. 6 overall and the top point guard in the portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
- Kentucky will host Wright alongside No. 1 2026 recruit Tyran Stokes, reflecting a broader roster rebuild after seven Wildcats entered the portal.
- Yahoo Sports reports his camp initially sought a very large pay figure to stay at BYU, with sources now saying a return is possible if terms improve.
- The portal window opened April 7 and closes April 21, putting time pressure on Wright’s choice and on BYU, which has six players in the portal to replace.
