Today on KSR: What's going on with Kerry Blackshear Jr?

The Kentucky-Kerry Blackshear Jr. saga added an unexpected twist Monday evening.

For the second time since he revealed his intentions to transfer from Virginia Tech, news broke that Kentucky made contact with the second team All-ACC selection. This time, Rivals’ Corey Evans reported John Calipari conducted an in-home visit with Blackshear’s parents.

“That wasn’t the case,” Blackshear Sr. told Adam Zagoria. “Yes, I am [scheduled to meet with him]. To be honest, we’re trying to figure that out right now as we speak.”

For those counting at home, there have been two Kerry Blackshear-Kentucky reports. Each report was later refuted by the Dad. Why that’s the case, one can only speculate.

Recruiting is a bizarre business. In Kentucky’s case, they like to move quickly on the grad transfer market. Reid Travis was slated to visit Villanova, but canceled shortly after visiting Kentucky. Nate Sestina verbally committed as soon as he returned home from his visit. Neither of those players brought as much recruiting buzz as Blackshear Jr. With every school in the country calling, it appears that Kentucky is trying to keep a low-profile. Refuting reports of contact with the school is one way to do it.

For now, there’s not much we can do but guess and wait for another report to be refuted. In other transfer news…

Arguably Florida’s best player is leaving Gainesville. News to me. Keith Stone is ditching Mike White to play for Jim Larranaga at Miami. Despite the loss, I think the Gators will be just fine on the wing with Scottie Lewis.
