Add another possible player to the Kentucky basketball radar.
Greg Auman, Central Florida beat writer for the Tampa Bay Times, tweets that he’s hearing if Keith Clanton doesn’t return to UCF then Florida State and UK could be possible transfer destinations.
The NCAA recently imposed a post-season ban on the Central Florida basketball program, meaning that Clanton could transfer and be eligible immediately. The 6-foot-9, 245-pounder, who averaged 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, is to be a senior this upcoming season.
Hearing that UCF forward Keith Clanton hasn’t yet decided if he’ll return to Knights, but if he doesn’t, heard FSU and Kentucky are options.

Hat tip to T.J. Walker.
Can he play immediately?
Yes.
UK could use another big guy this year. At 6′ 9 he could fit in well and has past experience. Go UK and get Graham also.
