Breaking News: Kentucky Wildcats Set Sights on North Florida Transfer Chaz Lanier
This effective scorer piques the interest of Mark Pope and his team.
I order to complete its roster, Kentucky has indicated interest in adding another player. Joe Tipton of On3 reports that this time it’s transfer guard Chaz Lanier of North Florida. Although there is a huge list of interested programs, the Tennessee Volunteers are in a strong position to sign the talented scorer right now. In the previous season, Lanier shot 51.0% overall and 44.0% from deep, averaging 19.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG, and 1.8 APG.
Lanier won Player of the Week three times in the conference and was named to the First Team All-ASUN team the previous season. In four games, he scored over thirty points and filled the stat book. In his finest performance, he scored 35 points, dished out three assists, pulled down five rebounds, and shot an incredible 61% from the field against North Alabama. He has shown himself to be an extremely proficient scorer.
Tipton mentioned that there are a few other schools involved. The Tennessee Volunteers are putting a lot of effort into this game, and the 6-foot-4 Lanier is a native of Nashville. There are also rumors of interest from universities like Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Maryland, according to Tipton.
Tennessee is the clear favorite, but a lot of colleges are interested in the high-scoring guard.
Tipton states that it would make the most sense for Lanier to replace Dalton Knecht, which is why Tennessee looks to be the most excited about the prospect. In any case, Lanier is a very proficient scorer who fills it up fast. One that would be wonderful to incorporate into Mark Pope’s approach.
