Kentucky Wildcats sophomore big man Brandon Garrison has sparked speculation about his future with the program after posting an emotional message on TikTok. The message, “Last home game in Rupp,” has led to rumors that Garrison may be considering a transfer.
Garrison, a former McDonald’s All-American, transferred to Kentucky from Oklahoma State and has been a key contributor off the bench. Despite having two years of eligibility remaining, Garrison’s post has ignited concerns among Kentucky fans that he may be leaving Lexington.
The 6-foot-11 forward has averaged 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, while shooting 52% from the field. His versatility and potential have made him a valuable asset to the Wildcats, and his departure would leave a significant void in the frontcourt.
Kentucky coach Mark Pope has praised Garrison’s upside, calling it “incredibly high.” However, the TikTok post has raised questions about Garrison’s commitment to the program.
If Garrison were to transfer, it would leave Kentucky’s frontcourt painfully thin. With Amari Williams and Andrew Carr both seniors, the Wildcats would be forced to rely on freshman forward Trent Noah, who has averaged just 10.9 minutes and 2.6 points per game.
The transfer rumor mill has been swirling around Garrison since January, but no concrete evidence has surfaced. The TikTok post has only added fuel to the speculation, leaving Kentucky fans wondering about the future of their talented big man.
As the Wildcats look to make a deep run in the postseason, the uncertainty surrounding Garrison’s future has added an extra layer of complexity to the team’s preparations. One thing is certain, however: if Garrison does decide to leave Lexington, it would be a significant blow to the program.
