And then there were seven, the list of Kentucky Wildcats making their way to campus and moving in growing by the hour. First, it was Jayden Quaintance, followed by Denzel Aberdeen and Jaland Lowe on Wednesday. Then came a busy move-in Thursday with Malachi Moreno, Reece Potter and Braydon Hawthorne all getting comfortable at the Wildcat Coal Lodge ahead of summer workouts. Up next? Tulane transfer Kam Williams, who was joined by his entire family in Lexington.
“What’s going on, BBN?” Williams said. “Just arrived here on campus. Excited to play for you guys and get that number nine championship.”
Williams played it cool, but his father couldn’t contain his excitement in the background, giving a nice little peace sign fist pump shouting, “Yes!”
“Kam is a beautiful kid who is not only an elite-level shooter but also an elite 1-through-4 defender,” Mark Pope said of the Tulane transfer, who averaged 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals a year ago in the AAC, earning All-Freshman Team honors along the way. “He has a ton of gravity to his game and has untapped athleticism that is going to make his ceiling really high.”

Mark Fox was there to greet him upon arrival — and it didn’t take long for Jaland Lowe to find him as a Lexington veteran as of 24 hours ago.
Kentucky isn’t done there, either — be prepared for some Jasper Johnson move-in photos before calling it a night.
