I had heard late last night that Khem Birch was definitely going to pack his bags and leave Pittsburgh.
It is now official.
[I]The 6-foot-9 Canadian, the highest-ranked player to commit to the Panthers in the history of the program, told CBSSports.com he has decided to transfer. [/I]
[I]”I’m leaving,” Birch told CBSSports.com on Friday night. “I’m headed to Toronto now. I enjoyed my time at Pittsburgh, I love Coach (Jamie) Dixon, had no problems with the staff and the players. It just wasn’t the right fit for me.”
Birch informed CBSSports.com that he does not have a new list and has not decided on his next destination.[/I]

I know Birch is saying that he doesn’t have a list, but I have spoke to a source that is close to the situation that says Kentucky is definitely an option.
I think the big question is if Kentucky thinks he is an option for them.
When I get more information I will throw it your way, but this is something to keep an eye on during Christmas Break.
