Does he sit out a full year, or is there a possibility for 2nd half/1st half season sit out? I’m guessing that window passed but no idea the actual rule.

We were in his top 2-3 (easily?), but when UK offered, it was all over.

Kahlil Whitney names final 4: Georgetown, Illinois, Kentucky and Oregon
Been a while since we've had a circus in town! Bring it on!
He would develop well in this system with these coaches.
Anybody remember how his unofficial visit went back in 2018??

What do you mean, Tev does 2 things extremely well, jumps high and gets high.

Which is why I find this timing so odd. Why not stick through the rest of the semester? Or decide to transfer three weeks ago? Feels like he might just go pro, in whatever capacity that will be.
For those of you who don't know, That's spelled Ayo's mom. She was our lead recruiter on him last time.
Ok, thanks
I’m as excited about grabbing him as everyone else, but Whitney did not look like a high major player this year. Horrible shooting, shot selection, ball handling. Just looked lost out there in the few games I saw. Granted, a redshirt year could do him a world of good but he has a lot of room for improvement. The good news is his athletic potential is off the charts, so if he puts it together he’s going to be real good after sitting out.
Would be still be able to enroll for this semester? Or is it too late?

He did specifically not mention transferring in his announcement. Clearly leaving that option open.

I think we have a pretty compelling pitch. Especially if OA signs an extension.
Just four days gone this semester. Wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't get in here or somewhere else.
No snark here at all, but do we want him? Are we convinced that he'd be worth the wait?
Also, I wonder if he could do Parkland or some other community college near his next location.

Here are the Charles Matthews numbers to give you an idea of how these things don't have to look like Alex Legion.
Yeah, he said "leaving" not 'transferring". And he also references the "business" of basketball, uses a vague reference to being "unconventional". If you read meaning into the choice of words, kinda sounds like taking a professional route. Let's see, make some money, sit out a year and practice, hum? Although I'm not sure how much interest he can command on an international level given his college start (G League doesn't command that much in salary, anyway). I'm guessing he'll look at going overseas, but probably wind up sitting as a college transfer. But just a totally uninformed guess.
