Alex Wilkins is a Kentucky Wildcat, a massive get for Mark Pope. The Furman transfer guard is Kentucky’s second commitment from the transfer portal, joining Zoom Diallo, with whom he will share the backcourt next season.

Wilkins may not be a household name, but he is a proven scorer, averaging 17.8 points, 4.7 assists, and 2.0 rebounds in 29.7 minutes last season for the Paladins. His biggest performance came on the biggest stage when he scored 21 points on 8-15 shooting and 4-8 from three with four assists, one rebound, and one steal in Furman’s 82-71 loss to No. 2 seed UConn in March Madness. There’s a very good chance he could lead Kentucky in scoring next season.
