Writer lists Kentucky basketball center as a transfer portal sleeper for the 2024-25 season
One Kentucky Wildcat that Mark Pope brought in that has a ton of upside is Oklahoma State transfer Brandon Garrison. Last season for the Cowboys, Garrison averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. The 6’11 center is a do-it-all big man as he can score around the rim, pass, rebound, and is an elite rim protector. All of these are attributes a center must have to succeed in Mark Pope’s system.
Jace Derryberry of NBA Draft On SI just wrote an article calling Garrison a sleeper in the transfer portal. Derryberry had this to say about Kentucky transfer portal addition Brandon Garrison.
“Brandon Garrison was a highly touted freshman last season at Oklahoma State but will look to make more of a name for himself during his sophomore season after transferring to Kentucky. He is a long and active big man with the potential to be very effective on both sides of the court near the rim.”

Garrison was a McDonald’s All-American out of high school and is a player that still has a ton of upside when it comes to an NBA future. He will be the backup behind Amari Williams for the Kentucky Wildcats this season, but after this year, Garrison will be the starting center for the Wildcats unless Malachi Moreno is incredible the second, he walks on campus.
Garrison is one of the best backup centers in the SEC, and he is going to play huge minutes for the Wildcats this season. Garrison will also be very important for Kentucky in games where Williams gets in foul trouble, which happens a lot with centers.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.
