Report: Kentucky and Texas Tech Battling for Matt Haarms

Kentucky’s 2020-21 roster is almost complete but there’s one thing missing.

John Calipari is searching for a big man to anchor the paint next season. As of right now, 6-foot-9 Isaiah Jackson is the tallest player on the roster.

Kentucky is still pursuing Purdue transfer Matt Haarms, who entered the transfer portal three weeks ago.

According to a report by Jeff Goodman of Stadium, Kentucky and Texas Tech are the front runners to land the 7-foot-3 transfer. BYU is even in the mix.

Gonzaga has been a school receiving a lot of buzz the last few days but wasn’t mentioned by Goodman. A decision from Haarms will likely come sometime this week or weekend, hopefully.
