Travis Perry Transfers to Ole Miss From Kentucky

Travis Perry, Kentucky's all-time leading high school scorer, entered the NCAA transfer portal just before the deadline and committed to Ole Miss, which had heavily recruited him out of high school. Perry played in 31 games with four starts for Kentucky, averaging 2.7 points per game. Kentucky head coach Mark Pope expressed deep disappointment, describing Perry as a special talent with the potential to become a legend at Kentucky. Perry's decision was influenced by the prospect of increased playing time at Ole Miss under coach Chris Beard, given Kentucky's incoming talent. His transfer is considered a significant loss for Kentucky, and fans will now see Perry compete against his former team in SEC play. The move also underscores the rapid roster changes in college basketball driven by the transfer portal.
