In-Depth Analysis
Rylan Griffen, a former four-star recruit, is drawing attention from Kentucky as he looks to transfer from Kansas.

During his time with the Crimson Tide, he showcased his scoring ability, particularly during their Final Four run where he averaged 11.2 points per game and demonstrated impressive shooting percentages (45.4% FG, 39.2% 3PT).
