By ADAM ZAGORIA
Miami transfer guard Wooga Poplar will “probably visit” Kentucky after the staff reached out to him, his father told ZAGSBLOG.
“They want him,” his father said.
The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season at Miami, and has heard from a number of teams since entering the portal, including Kansas, Arkansas, Duke, Villanova and St. John’s.
In a 95-73 loss at Rupp Arena on Nov. 28, Poplar went for 19 points and 8 rebounds against the Wildcats.
