Kansas transfer Rylan Griffen no longer visiting Kentucky

Kansas transfer Rylan Griffen is no longer visiting Kentucky, according to KSR’s Jacob Polacheck. Bosnian guard Harun Zrno is also out of the running of coming to the Wildcats.

Griffen has most recently been connected to Miami coming off a visit last Tuesday with the Hurricanes. There’s also been reported connection with him to one of his former schools with Alabama. Kentucky had previously been in contact with him at his original entry into the portal back at the end of March.

Griffen has spent the past two seasons with Alabama and Kansas with 106 appearances, 53 of those being starts. He has averaged 7.8 points (40.5% FG, 34.9% 3PT on 1.5 triples), 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game in that career with the Crimson Tide and Jayhawks.

Griffen had a career-year as a starter during his sophomore season at ‘Bama in posting 11.2 points (45.4% FG, 39.2% 3PT on 2.1 threes made), 3.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists on a team that would go on to make the Final Four. However, after transferring to KU, he saw those numbers slide to 6.3 points (37.2% FG, 33.6% 3PT on 1.2 three-pointers made), 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game in a disappointing season for himself and their team in Lawrence.

Griffen, a native of Richardson, Texas, was a four-star recruit in the 2022 cycle. He was the No. 44 overall prospect as the No. 4 SG in the class and the No. 5 player out of the state. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Now, per the latest update to On3’s Industry Ranking of 2025’s Top Transfer Portal Players, Griffen is one of the top names still on the board. He rates at No. 90 overall as the No. 21 SG, which, to this point of the cycle, has him as a Top-30 player and a Top-10 shooting guard still available.
