NEW YORK — Antonio Reeves is back on campus at Kentucky and is expected to return to the Wildcats for the 2023-24 season, according to 247Sports.com.
The 6-foot-5 Chicago native had enrolled in summer classes at his previous school Illinois State and there had been questions about whether he would grad transfer afterward.
With Kentucky losing big man Oscar Tshiebwe and wing Cason Wallace to the NBA Draft, Reeves will provide experience, leadership and a player who scored north of 14 points per game last season.
“They have a lot of talent, they have a lot of good players so I feel like they’ll get it done,” Wallace said at the NBA Draft.
“They’ll be fine. They’ll go through a good amount of ups and downs like any team would, but I’m rooting for them, I feel like they’ll do fine.”
Kentucky also brings in the No. 1-ranked recruiting class led by Justin Edwards and D.J. Wagner. Freshman big man Aaron Bradshaw is expected to miss the start of the season with a foot fracture.
“It’s always been hard [for freshmen], but they all dogs, so I feel like they’re going to step up to the challenge and they’re going to take it and run with it,” Wallace said.
