Travis Perry is garnering plenty of high-major interest less than 48 hours after entering his name into the transfer portal.

According to Perry has heard from several schools since announcing his intentions to leave the Kentucky men’s basketball program on Tuesday night. Two programs that stand out on the list are Arkansas and Louisville. The likes of Ole Miss, Maryland, Vanderbilt, Iowa, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, LSU, Western Kentucky, and South Carolina have also reached out. That’s a lot of SEC schools (and a former SEC head coach in Buzz Williams, who is now at Maryland) for the Lyon County product.

As a true freshman for the Wildcats in 2024-25, Perry averaged 2.7 points in 9.7 minutes per outing across 31 games played (including four starts) while shooting 32.1 percent from deep. The Big Blue Nation might have a social media meltdown if Perry were to transfer to either Arkansas or Louisville. Of course, Perry was once committed to John Calipari at UK but stuck with the Wildcats once Calipari took the head coaching job at Arkansas. Then you have the in-state rival Cardinals also poking around at a player who grew up living and breathing Kentucky basketball. Tennessee is in the mix, too, just to twist the knife a bit more. Rick Barnes must remember those two critical three-pointers Perry hit in Rupp Arena against the Volunteers pretty well.
