In a developing story, Kentucky sophomore big man Brandon Garrison has reportedly removed all mentions of the University of Kentucky from his social media profiles, according to Chris Beasmore. This move has sparked intense speculation that Garrison may be preparing to enter the transfer portal.
The Timing is Interesting
The news comes just days after rumors began circulating about Garrison’s potential departure from Kentucky. The timing is also notable, given the arrival of highly-t touted freshman Jayden Quaintance, who is expected to play a significant role in the team’s frontcourt.
Garrison’s Production Dipped This Season
Garrison’s playing time and production decreased significantly this season, with his minutes, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounds, blocks, and points all taking a hit. While some of this can be attributed to a new system and role, the numbers suggest that Garrison struggled to find his footing in Lexington.
What Does This Mean for Garrison’s Future?
While Garrison has not officially entered the transfer portal, the removal of UK references from his social media profiles is a strong indication that he may be exploring his options. If he does enter the portal, expect high-major interest immediately, as Garrison’s ceiling is still highly regarded.
What’s Next?
As of now, Garrison’s future remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: the offseason is just beginning, and Kentucky fans may not be done refreshing Twitter/X just yet.
