Kentucky
Miles Byrd to make transfer decision on Thursday, and Kentucky Basketball is a finalist
According to Jeff Goodman, San Diego State guard Miles Byrd will make his college choice on Thursday. His finalists include the Wildcats, Baylor Bears, Louisville Cardinals, Providence Friars, Texas Longhorns, Vanderbilt Commodores, and Cincinnati Bearcats.
The 6-6, 190-pound Byrd is one of the top players in the portal and has one season of eligibility remaining. This past season, he averaged 10.4 points on 40.5% shooting (30.8% from deep on 4.3 attempts per game), 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game, earning him Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors.
If Kentucky is the choice, then Mark Pope and Co. will be hoping Byrd makes a Lamont Butler-type jump in offensive production like the latter did when he played his final season in Lexington. Butler and Byrd were actually teammates in the 2022-23 season when the latter redshirted.
As of this writing, it’s unclear who the perceived favorite is. When he first entered the portal, Baylor was viewed as the early school to watch, so the Bears could be the team to beat.
Byrd is currently ranked 13th overall and fifth among shooting guards in the 2026 transfer portal cycle by On3.

Here are some stories you may have missed this week in central Ohio.
Authorities said a body recovered May 4 from the Ohio River in northeast Kentucky has been identified as a Columbus man, Dispatch news partner NBC4/WMCH-TV reported.
Lewis County Sheriff Johnny Bivens said the body has been identified as Jason D. Frisbie, 38, of Columbus. Bivens said authorities in Kentucky worked with Ohio officials to identify Frisbie this week.
Bivens said Lewis County took a call around 4:30 p.m. May 4 about a body in the river in Vanceburg, Kentucky, a few miles south of Ohio’s Shawnee State Park. Bivens said responding agencies took the body to the Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office.
Lewis County authorities asked for public help identifying the body. On May 9, Bivens confirmed Frisbie’s identity after working with Ohio officials and local responders.
Bivens said the death remains under investigation, and authorities did not offer information about a suspected cause.
