Kentucky Showing Interest in Oregon PF Kwame Evans Jr.
Oregon power forward Kwame Evans Jr. is a new name to watch for Kentucky. With the portal set to open on Tuesday, Evans tells KSR that Kentucky has been in contact with his representation.
The 6-foot-10 junior has spent all three years of his career at Oregon. This past season, he averaged 13.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, recording four double-doubles. He is also expected to test the NBA Draft waters.
Evans tells KSR+ that he has not yet set a Zoom meeting or campus visit with Kentucky. Evans, a native of Baltimore, was a McDonald’s All-American and the No. 15 overall recruit in the 2022 class coming out of high school. Kentucky was a school involved in his recruitment in high school under John Calipari.
