Senior point guard Sahvir Wheeler will likely find himself playing a lot with incoming freshman guard Cason Wallace, a top 10 recruit and McDonald’s All-American.

The freshman guard from Texas is now on campus and Wheeler got a chance to meet and bond with him immediately.

“It was good. I know he is from Texas and he is not going to be too hard to adjust to. I am familiar playing with guys from Texas. We all have a similar playing style as far as being aggressive, being the aggressor, playing downhill and also being unselfish. I don’t think there is any guy from Texas who has been selfish,” Wheeler said.

“I think we are going to get along good from meeting with  him and chillin’ out with him. It was fun. It was great vibes. He was kind of to himself but as the day went on finally got him to open up and laugh a little bit.”

Another Texan, sophomore forward Daimion Collins, also helped with Wallace’s smooth transition to Kentucky.

“I think some of it was having those ties with Daimion that allowed him to be more comfortable than maybe he would have been,” Wheeler said. “It has been great to see him and meet all the new players. I am looking forward to the season.”
