Alex Oriakhi just might end up at Kentucky before it is all said and done, but it sounds like it will end up being a lengthy process.

Oriakhi will “definitely visit” Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke and Missouri, Alex Oriakhi Sr. told Kevin Duffy of the Hearst Media Group.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

The SEC Rule of transferring to the conference with only 1 year of eligibility can be loop-holed as well.

[I]Oriakhi cannot transfer within the Big East, per league rules, and would need to obtain a waiver to play in the SEC for Kentucky, but reportedly could do so if he pursues a course of study that UConn does not offer.
