The suitors are lining up for Jeremy Roach after he entered the transfer portal Tuesday. Three schools – Kentucky, Arkansas and St. John’s – are “among the leaders” for him, according to NJ.com’s Adam Zagoria.
Roach declared for the 2024 NBA Draft Tuesday afternoon and also maintained his eligibility, which is why he entered the portal. The battle for his services is getting interesting since John Calipari and Rick Pitino are squarely in the mix, according to Zagoria, while Mark Pope – the new Kentucky coach who replaced Calipari – is also emerging as a frontrunner.
Roach spent the last four seasons at Duke and is coming off the best season of his career. He averaged 14 points and 3.3 rebounds, both of which were new career-highs, as the Blue Devils made a run to the Elite Eight. Roach still has one more year of eligibility if he wants it thanks to the blanket COVID-19 waiver during the 2020-21 season.
