Dayton transfer Koby Brea has committed to Kentucky, picking the Wildcats over a list of schools that included Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and UConn.
"Growing up, I was told I was dreaming too big whenever I'd say my dream was to play for the University of Kentucky," Brea said."I feel like God does everything for a reason, and He has put me in a position where I'm able to play for my dream school in my last year of college, while playing for something bigger than myself."
Brea hit 100 3-pointers last season while making 50% of his attempts, the only player in the college game to even come close to that feat. Only three players in college basketball history have done the same: Salim Stoudamire , Mike Iuzzolino and Steve Kerr .team ranked third in college basketball in 3-pointers attempted last season, is a natural fit for his style of play.
Brea, who recently measured 6-foot-7, was named the Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his college career. He is a young senior, not turning 22 until November, and said his primary goal next season is to win the national championship. Brea recently entered the NBA draft, drawing interest from the pro ranks after two strong performances in the NCAA tournament in which he converted 9 of 16 3-point attempts versus. His ability to make deep spot-up 3s, run off screens and hit contested pull-up jumpers should draw considerable interest with the bigger platform he will have in Lexington next season, as he appears likely to withdraw his name from draft consideration.
