Kentucky is reportedly one of the many schools around the country showing plenty of interest in Nevada transfer Jordan Brown.

The 6-11 forward is one of the top available players on the transfer market after choosing to transfer from the Wolf Pack after one season.

He was recruited by former head coach Eric Musselman, who left the program to become the new coach at Arkansas.

Brown averaged 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds while playing just 10.1 minutes per game this past season.

He joined the team as a top 20 recruit in the 2018 class, but due to the bulk of Nevada’s rotation returning from what was a Sweet 16 team the prior season, his on-court action was limited.

As for Kentucky, it is once again set for lots of roster turnover, with several key contributors already declaring their intentions to enter the 2019 NBA draft.

However, John Calipari has put together another top-tier recruiting class, which currently ranks in the top five nationally.

The Wildcats have also landed Bucknell grad transfer Nate Sestina, who should be a major contributor in the frontcourt next season.
