Former Kentucky forward Marcus Lee will visit Cal on Tuesday and could commit during or after the visit, a source confirmed to SNY.tv.
Numerous other Pac-12 and Big 12 schools are involved, sources said.
Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com first reported the Cal news.
Lee last week opted to withdraw from the NBA Draft and announced he would transfer from Kentucky, with head coach John Calipari saying Lee would go to a school “out west to be closer to his family.”
“Marcus Lee informed us today that he is pulling his name out of the draft but has decided he is going to transfer to a school out west to be closer to his family,” head coach John Calipari said. “We talked it through together and discussed the team next season, which he said had no bearing on his decision. I also told him he was a semester away from graduating. With that said, he was still adamant that, after the combine experience, a year off and regrouping would be the best thing. As always I support my players and their decisions.”
Lee averaged career highs in points per game (6.4), rebounds per game (6.0), total blocks (59) and total assists (11).
“I want to thank the University of Kentucky, the basketball staff and the Big Blue Nation for supporting me over the years,” Lee said. “I’m sorry it took me so long to come to this decision, but I’m trying to do what’s right for me and my family. I’ll always think fondly of my time at Kentucky.”
