New Zealand big man Tai Wynyard will be eligible to join the Kentucky Wildcats later this week (December 18 to be specific).
Wynyard says he is ready to bring some physicality to the Kentucky roster.
“What I notice is they’re (UK) not really playing very physical,” Wynyard said in a recent interview. “And that’s an area I can come in and try to help them out.”

But after Calipari recently confirmed he was having a rethink on that strategy, Wynyard has declared himself ready to add some much-needed “physicality” to the Wildcats frontcourt. Kentucky, ranked No 5 in the country, are currently 9-1 for the season and top of the SEC. Their only loss was 87-77 at UCLA on December 4.
“What I notice is they’re not really playing very physical, and that’s an area I can come in and try to help them out,” Wynyard − son of Kiwi woodchopping legend Jason Wynyard − said when asked about what he’d picked up watching the Wildcats so far this season.
“They have really good talent and outstanding players, but I don’t think they’re dominant physically, so that should be good for me.”
