Former Kentucky Men’s Basketball Guard Travis Perry Commits to Ole Miss
Former Kentucky in-state freshman Travis Perry has found his new college basketball home, and it’s one UK fans will be quite familiar with.
The guard out of Lyon County officially committed to fellow SEC school Ole Miss on Sunday, joining Rebels coach Chris Beard, who had recruited him in high school.
On3’s Joe Tipton confirmed the news around 3 p.m., officially wrapping up the mystery of where all Wildcats lost in the offseason are headed after Kerr Kriisa previously committed to Cincinnati and incoming freshman Acaden Lewis committed to Villanova.
Perry committed to Kentucky initially under then head coach John Calipari, being a part of the freshman class that included Boogie Fland, Billy Richmond III, Jayden Quaintance, Karter Knox and Somto Cyril.
While Richmond, Fland and Knox would all follow Calipari to Arkansas when the 15-year head coach departed Lexington, Cyril would join Georgia and Quaintance would go to Arizona State — though he has since transferred to Kentucky — but Perry remained committed to UK and new head coach Mark Pope.
Being joined by Pope’s former BYU commit in Collin Chandler and fellow in-state talent Trent Noah, who de-committed from South Carolina for UK, Perry was a part of the trio of freshmen on the roster last season.
