Stanford forward Reid Travis will reportedly withdraw from the NBA draft and return to the collegiate ranks, where Kentucky's favored to land him as a graduate transfer, sources told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.
As a member of the Cardinal last season, the two-time All-Pac-12 forward started all 35 games and averaged 19.5 points and 8.7 rebounds on 52.7 percent shooting from the floor.
As the Wildcats await the draft decisions of Wenyen Gabriel, PJ Washington, and Jarred Vanderbilt, adding Travis would be a grand slam for head coach John Calipari, giving the team a highly productive player and a mentor for a stable of young bigs that includes five-star freshman EJ Montgomery.
