Miami (Ohio) transfer Reece Potter signs with Kentucky
The Lexington Catholic product will have two years of eligibility remaining.
247sports.comHere’s the latest I can confirm from recent reporting:
- Reece Potter has announced he will return to Kentucky for the 2026-27 season, keeping him in the Wildcats’ frontcourt for another year. This was publicly shared around mid-April 2026.[1]
- Potter is a 7-foot-1 center from Lexington who played at Miami (OH) before transferring to Kentucky, and his return completes another confirmed Wildcats addition/retention for 2026-27 according to coverage in April 2026.[5][1]
- Prior coverage noted Potter’s homecoming and excitement about joining Mark Pope’s Kentucky squad, including his transfer announcement and enthusiasm about contributing to the program’s success.[2][4]
If you’d like, I can pull in more context on his projected role for 2026-27, or summarize Chandler-era Kentucky frontcourt depth and how Potter fits in.
