Kentucky transfer Marcus Lee reportedly commits to Cal

Published Jun. 11, 2016 11:02 p.m. ET

Former University of Kentucky forward Marcus Lee verbally committed to Cal on Saturday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported

Last month, the 6-foot-9, 224-pound Lee announced his plans to transfer from Kentucky after withdrawing from the NBA Draft. Wildcats coach John Calipari said Lee intended to go west in order to be closer to his family. 

According to the Chronicle, Lee committed to the Cal Bears over Washington, which he also visited.

Under NCAA rules, he will sit out next season before becoming eligible to play for Cal in the 2017-18 season.
