Kentucky Expected to Be Involved With San Francisco SF Tyrone Riley
On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- Kentucky is showing renewed interest in San Francisco small forward Tyrone Riley during the current transfer portal, following previous engagement last year.
- Riley, a 6-foot-5 wing, averaged 12.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 season, earning All-WCC honors after a strong sophomore campaign.
- Last offseason, Riley entered the transfer portal and attracted significant attention, including from Kentucky, but ultimately chose to stay at San Francisco after careful consideration.
- Kentucky's coaching staff, including Mark Pope and assistant Jason Hart, have established a connection with Riley, though their recruitment efforts came late in the previous transfer cycle.
- Riley emphasized the importance of building trust and relationships in his transfer decision, suggesting Kentucky’s later involvement limited his ability to fully evaluate the program last year.
