UK's Kerr Kriisa first Wildcat to enter the transfer portal this offseason

Kerr Kriisa, a 24-year-old Kentucky Wildcats guard, entered the transfer portal on Monday, March 31, 2025, after Kentucky's season ended with a 78-65 loss to Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in Indianapolis.
Kriisa, an Estonia native, began his collegiate career at Arizona from 2020-2023, then transferred to West Virginia for the 2023-24 season, before arriving at Kentucky for the 2024-25 season.
Kriisa's time at Kentucky was limited to nine games, with one start, due to a season-ending foot injury in December that required surgery, impacting a game against Gonzaga Bulldogs at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on December 7, 2024.
During his nine games at Kentucky, Kriisa averaged 4.4 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game, while his career averages across 108 games are 9.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.3 rebounds.
Kriisa posted on social media expressing gratitude to Coach Pope, the UK coaching staff, his teammates, and BBN , stating it was a dream to play at Rupp Arena, that he will cherish his time in the Blue Grass State, and wishing Kentucky basketball all the best, while also entering his fourth collegiate program with one season of eligibility remaining.
