Kentucky Transfer Portal Watch: JQ Hardaway visits

On Sunday, Kentucky finished a big official visit weekend with multiple high school prospects wrapping up their official visits. However, schools can also host transfers with the portal window now officially open.
On Saturday night, Cincinnati transfer JQ Hardaway created an Instagram story post of what appears to be a hotel room with a plethora of Kentucky items on the bed. That is typically a sign of an official visit.

The Phenix City (Ala.) Central product was a four-star recruit in the class of 2022 who picked the Bearcats despite having multiple SEC offers. The big cornerback (6-3, 200) played 95 defensive snaps this season and gave up just three receptions on seven targets, per PFF data. Hardaway finished his only season at Cincinnati with seven tackles and two tackles for loss.

The former four-star recruit announced his plans to enter the transfer portal on Nov. 27 on the same day that Wisconsin hired Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell to fill the same position in Madison. Hardaway’s transfer recruitment is moving fast and Kentucky is looking to add help at cornerback.
There appears to be much potential with the Cincinnati transfer who will be a true sophomore in 2023 with three years of eligibility remaining. Kentucky got the class of 2022 prospect on campus quickly. Will a commitment follow?
We should find out soon. Recruiting never stops.
