3 SEC teams among those in the mix for highly-touted North Carolina transfer Walker Kessler
Former 5-star UNC big man Walker Kessler is perhaps the biggest name currently in the men’s basketball transfer portal.
The Georgia native would have likely had a featured role on the 2021-22 Tar Heel squad, but it seems his time in Chapel Hill is done.
Could he be on his way to the SEC? According to a report from Dan McDonald of Rivals, 3 SEC teams — Kentucky, Auburn and Tennessee — are among those in the mix for Kessler’s commitment:

Kessler has also heard from Gonzaga, Michigan and likely dozens of other schools.
Kessler was the No. 5 center in the class of 2020 and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Georgia, per the 247Sports composite rankings. He appeared in 29 games for the Tar Heels this past season. He averaged 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest.
Please let’s get this kid! We’d be so stacked next year.
As will a lot of others.
Did I say we’d be the only stacked team or something?
But, that’s what you meant.
Umm sure buddy.
You scared? Lol……relax dude, it will be ok
He’ll go to Gonzaga.
I can’t believe Tom Crean can’t get a legacy player to transfer to UGA. And our best player just transferred out. I think Crean has one more year to get it together.
He sucks out loud
Of course not Georgia despite it being his home state. Can’t blame him. Crean is a loser
