    Dayton transfer Koby Brea visits Kentucky after UConn finalizes backcourt

    Koby Brea touched down for his Kentucky visit Monday night after UConn appeared to finalize its backcourt for the 2024-25 season.

    Kentucky now appears to be a top option for the 6-foot-6 Washington Heights, N.Y. native and Dayton transfer who averaged 11.1 points and 3.8 rebounds last season.

    The 6-foot-6 junior initially told ZAGSBLOG he was considering UConn, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and North Carolina.

    He was initially scheduled to visit Duke this week, but that trip was canceled , and he went from UConn to Kentucky.

    UConn appeared to finalize its backcourt Monday with the addition of Saint Mary’s transfer Aidan Mahaney on the heels of signing five-star wing Liam McNeeley to a team that hopes to compete for a three-peat.

    North Carolina, meantime, added Belmont transfer Cade Tyson.

    Under new coach Mark Pope, Kentucky is trying to rebuild its roster and has added transfer guards Otega Oweh (Oklahoma) and Lamont Butler (San Diego State) but still has to fill out an almost entirely new roster.
