The Kentucky Wildcats faced a significant setback on Saturday with the departure of a crucial wide receiver to the transfer portal. Sophomore Hardley Gilmore submitted his name on the final day of the portal opening, sparking concern among fans.
However, that worry may have been unfounded.
According to a report by Pete Nakos of On3, Gilmore is contemplating a return to Lexington for next season, a sentiment echoed by Zack Geoghegan of KSR. Despite a relatively low-key first year at Kentucky, all indications suggested that Gilmore would play a vital part in the offense next season. The news of his possible return is likely reassuring for the fanbase.
In the age of the transfer portal, each team tends to have a surprising narrative, and this could very well be Kentucky’s if they manage to keep Gilmore. This situation is definitely worth monitoring in the upcoming days.
