Kentucky has gained their 5th member of the 2012 class in the form of a transfer.

According to multiple sources, Julius Mays has committed to Kentucky.

Mays is transferring from Wright State and should be able to play immediately. He only has one year of eligibility left.

Mays transferred to Wright State from N.C. State, where he actually hosted Ryan Harrow on a recruiting trip. Harrow has since transferred to UK and is expected to be the starting point guard next season.

Mays is a 6-2 combo guard who led Wright State in scoring this past season and was named the Horizon League newcomer of the year. Mays hit 42% of his shots from three point range and averaged just over 14 points a game.

Mays tells Cats Illustrated he plans to pursue a master's degree in a sports leadership program at UK.

The University of Kentucky added another piece to its backcourt for next season on Sunday night, landing a commitment from Julius Mays.

Mays, a 6-foot-2 combo guard originally from Marion, Ind., is a fifth-year senior transferring from Wright State University. He has one season of eligibility remaining and will be eligible to play immediately for the Wildcats.

A former Indiana All-Star, Mays picked UK over Purdue. He made an unofficial visit to Lexington and made his decision after a weekend official visit to Purdue.

“I sure did,” Mays said when asked if he committed to UK.

Mays began his college basketball and then played last season at Wright State where he was the Horizon League newcomer of the year. He led Wright State in scoring (14.1 points) and assists (74) while shooting 42.4 percent from three-point range.

Mays also hit 83.2 percent from the free-throw line last season, setting a school record by making 19 free throws against Illinois-Chicago last January.

He’s scheduled to complete his undergraduate degree in June.http://www.courier-journal.com/article/2...|text|Home

Seems like things just keep getting better for Kentucky basketball!

Much needed, he's no allstar but he's a knock down shooter.It's something this team will need next season. He shot something like 42% from downtown last season.

Yes, I am looking forward to having him hit some threes next year and he brings some back court experience.

I also like that he shoots over 80% from the line. That is huge.

Brings depth to the backcourt.
