The Courier-Journal spoke with Kerry Blackshear Jr’s AAU Coach Willie Anderson and he mentioned some of the options Kerry Blackshear Jr will probably consider when he ultimately making his transfer decision.
One thing he did mention is Kentucky Basketball’s Pro Day where every NBA team will have a representative.
“One thing you’ve also got to consider though is Kentucky is one of the only schools that has their pro day where every NBA team is represented,” Willie Anderson, director of the Q6 All-Stars AAU program where Blackshear played in high school, told the Courier Journal Thursday. “It’s a give and take when you look at some of that stuff in terms of where he wants to select a school.
“Obviously, you want to play a lot where you have a big role on a team. You don’t want to go from playing 20-something, 30-something minutes a game to 15 minutes a game just because there are other guys projected to be one-and-done guys.”
Even with Montgomery, Richards and Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina already on the Kentucky roster, Blackshear would almost certainly start for the Wildcats next season.

It seems like every box could be checked for Blackshear Jr at Kentucky, including the best chance of winning a national championship.
If Kentucky gets a visit next week as planned I think it will be tough for him to pick anyone else.
