Kentucky Wildcats thinking about transfers

Lots of buzz is happening within the Kentucky Wildcat fan community about a rumored transfer coming to Lexington this fall (to sit and wait to play in the fall of 2009). They are hoping he is big, and specifically some speculate the transfer is Brian Carlwell, who announced earlier that he will be transferring from Illinois.

Tracey Webster, formerly an assistant at Illinois, took a job working for Billy Gillespie at Kentucky, and may be playing a role to get Carlwell to Lexington. According to the rumors, the transfer should be announced in the next week or so.

I'm sure the Illini coaching staff is trying to help Carlwell find a good situation for finishing out his college career, since they already used his scholarship for the 2009 recruiting class. Also looking for a new school is Rodney Alexander, who despite being one of my personal favorites, did not fit in at Illinois. I expect we might have a third player looking to transfer, but this has not yet been announced.
