Lucas: UK on list, but it’s early
Former Florida point guard Jai Lucas cautioned not to put great importance on his including Kentucky on a list of possible transfer destinations.
“Just me releasing my (transcript) to the schools who called,” he said on Thursday. “Nothing too serious with anybody right now.”
Lucas said he asked Florida officials to release his transcript to Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Stanford, Rice and Maryland as well as UK.
But he emphasized that it’s too early in the process to draw conclusions.
Lucas put Kentucky on the list after UK assistant Glynn Cyprien called to ask about his transfer plans. Cyprien had a relationship with the Lucas family that goes back to being an assistant coach at Oklahoma State when older brother John Lucas played for the Cowboys.
Jai Lucas remains convinced that his best option should be to concentrate on finishing the fall semester, and then seriously weighing his transfer options.
Lucas decided to transfer when Florida opted to make Nick Calathes its point guard.
