Aaron Bradshaw is on the move again

Former Kentucky Wildcat Aaron Bradshaw is searching for his third college basketball program in three seasons. Today, the Wildcat-turned-Buckeye entered the transfer portal for a second consecutive spring, leaving the Ohio State Buckeyes for a destination to be named later.

Bradshaw averaged 16.9 minutes across 22 games in his sophomore season in Columbus, with averages of 6.0 points and 2.7 rebounds. The seven-foot forward/center missed five games before Christmas as he was investigated in a domestic incident but returned for a career day against his old team, Kentucky, in the CBS Sports Classic. Bradshaw scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field against the Wildcats in New York, a 20-point win for the Buckeyes.

As a freshman, Bradshaw moved to Lexington as one of John Calipari’s highest-ranked recruits, ranked fifth overall in the 2023 On3 Industry Ranking. The New Jersey native played 13.8 minutes per game for Calipari, averaging 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds. Bradshaw’s best performance in a UK uniform came against Florida, when his late block and 3-pointer helped Kentucky beat the Gators on the road. His career-high in scoring, 15 points, came in a shootout win against Arkansas in Lexington.

Now, Bradshaw seeks a third opportunity as one of the many, many, many players in college basketball’s transfer portal.
