Stanford graduate transfer Reid Travis has officially committed to Kentucky.
Travis announced his decision via Twitter on Wednesday after declaring for 2018 NBA draft back in early April before deciding to transfer once he withdrew from the draft process.
The 6-8 forward averaged 19.5 points and 8.7 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game for the Cardinal during the 2017-18 season.

Travis captured All-Pac-12 honors last season and would have likely entered the ’18-19 campaign as one of the frontrunners to win Pac-12 Player of the Year.
The addition of Travis gives John Calipari yet another playmaker in the frontcourt, as the Wildcats look to capture their first national championship since 2012.
Calipari brings back several key contributors from this past season while also adding the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class, which includes four 5-star prospects in EJ Montgomery, Ashton Hagans, Keldon Johnson, and Immanuel Quickley.
The Wildcats went 26-11 overall this past season and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the seventh time in the Calipari era.
