Yet another player with ties to the Kentucky Wildcats has now made their way to Fayetteville, as guard Adou Thiero has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks .

Among the SEC’s top players still in the transfer portal, Thiero has spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Kentucky, averaging a combined 5 PPG and 3.6 RPG while starting in 19-of-45 games. Thiero has also shot a combined 46.6% from the field, as well as 32.3% from three and 76.1% at the free throw line.

This past season, Thiero started 19-of-25 games for the Wildcats, averaging 7.2 PPG, 5 RPG, and 1.1 APG on 49.2% shooting from the field. Thiero also shot 31.8% from three, as well as 80% at the free throw line.
