Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com tweeted earlier today that the first stop on the transfer tour of UConn big man Alex Oriakhi will be a date with the national champs:

“Kentucky’s John Calipari expected to meet with UConn transfer Alex Oriakhi today. Oriakhi has one year left and can play immediately.”

As previously noted, he could play immediately if he enrolls in a major not offered by UConn and if the SEC grants him a waiver. Both are likely to happen if Kentucky (or Missouri) is his final choice.

Oriakhi can play immediately because of NCAA sanctions against UConn.
