Redshirt big man Reece Potter told KSR this afternoon that he intends to stay at Kentucky for the 2026-27 season.
Potter also opened up about a weird illness that set him back during the past season.
Here is an excerpt from KSR:
For Potter, though, he prefers his grass to be a little blue, confirming with KSR that he will be back in Lexington in 2026-27.
“Super excited. That’s kinda what’s striving me and getting me to keep going every day in practice and in the weight room,” he said. “I get to see what these dudes do every day and how much fun they get to have playing in Rupp Arena in front of these amazing fans. That’s been something that’s really pushed me to get to this point.
“I’m looking forward to next year, for sure.”
What are his expectations going into year two as a Wildcat — but first as an available big man ready to prove himself on the big stage? That’s Coach Pope’s call. He’s comfortable following his lead, whatever he feels is best for Kentucky in the program’s push for its first national championship since 2012.
Potter transferred to Kentucky from Miami (OH) prior to the 2025-26 season.
