Former West Virginia forward Tre Mitchell committed to the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program, he announced via a Monday tweet.

“Tre is from Pittsburgh and I've known him for years,” Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari wrote in a Monday tweet. “This was a unique situation, but as soon as he put his name in the portal, he was a player I knew we needed to pursue.

“He brings leadership, experience, size and versatility and is a great fit for what we want to do. I know this is a win for us and I believe this will be a win for him too. We are excited to have him as a part of our program.
