Texas transfer Devin Askew is on the move again, this time returning home to Cal.
The 6-foot-3 Sacramento native is onto his third college stop after spending one year at Kentucky, where he averaged 6.5 points and 2.9 assists, and one more at Texas, averaging 2.1 points and 1.3 assists.
“I chose Cal because I wanted to come home,” Askew, who has three years of eligibility remaining, told On3.
“I would like to start by thanking the University of Texas for giving me the opportunity to come and play the game I love,” Askew wrote. “To my teammates, I wouldn’t have gone to battle with anyone else on the court, and I can’t express how much I appreciate every one of you. I’d also like to thank Coach [Chris] Beard and the entire coaching staff for providing me with their support and guidance this past year. You all allowed me to grow as both a basketball player and as a man. After much thought and deliberation, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.”
Out of high school, Askew was the No. 1-ranked player in California and initially reclassified to 2020 from 2021 and joined a heralded Kentucky class that included B.J. Boston, Cam Fletcher, Lance Ware and the late Terrence Clarke.
Of those players, only Ware remains at Kentucky.
