LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — "IM A WILDCAT FOR LIFE!!" Kerr Kriisa posts on social media Wednesday afternoon.
Another guard has committed to Kentucky! Kriisa is a West Virginia transfer from Tartu, Estonia.
“Kerr Kriisa is one of the best shooters in the country,” said head coach Mark Pope. “I feel like I’ve been recruiting him for the last five or six years since he was a prep player. He is one of the most experienced guards in all of college basketball. Kerr played on some great Arizona teams and then, last year, in the hallowed halls of West Virginia. He has a competitive spirit that overflows in every way conceivable. Kerr will have a massive impact on our team on the court and in the locker room. Kentucky fans are going to love his bold personality.”
He was a multi-year starter at Arizona and, most recently, West Virginia. For the Mountaineers, Kriisa averaged 11 points and almost 5 assists last season.
He's consistent, putting up very similar numbers at Arizona. Kriisa brings more experience to the roster with 99 college games and 93 starts under his belt.
