Virginia Tech grad transfer Kerry Blackshear Jr. is reportedly set to take an official visit to Kentucky this week.
The 6-10 forward has had plenty of interest from schools around the country this offseason, but many consider several SEC teams as the main frontrunners to land him.
He has already had official visits to Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee, and playing for former head coach Buzz Williams at Texas A&M has also been a rumored option.

Blackshear averaged 14.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last season for the Hokies, and he should obviously make an immediate impact no matter which school he chooses.
The Wildcats return a talented nucleus that includes Ashton Hagans, Immanuel Quickley, EJ Montgomery, and Nick Richards, while also adding the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class.
