“His goal is to win a national championship and that is my goal,” Reeves said. “I want to learn from who I feel is the best and that is coach Cal and his staff. Coach Cal loves his players, he loves the game, developed pros and won a national championship. That’s what attracted me to Kentucky. Coach Cal is a very relatable guy. Also [assistant] coach Chin Coleman and my dad are really good friends. They went to the same high school at different times so they know each other from the city. I trust him 100%.”
A second-team all-Missouri Valley selection this past season, Reeves averaged 20.1 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 39% from 3-point range. He had two 30-point outings, including a 34-point performance against Valparaiso in February.
Antonio Reeves, who has started 60 games at Illinois State and averaged 20.1 points, shot 39 percent from 3 last season in the Missouri Valley Conference, is transferring to Kentucky. One of the top scorers in the portal, a nice piece for an offense that needed him.
