Peegs.com sources say Indiana has been in contact with Kentucky transfer portal prospect Aaron Bradshaw.

Bradshaw is a 7-foot-1 center who is coming out of his freshman season.

Bradshaw, from Camden (NJ), averaged 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds as a freshman at Kentucky.

Bradshaw was a five-star prospect coming out of high school in Camden (NJ).

Scouting report from Adam Finkelstein from 247Sports:

“Aaron Bradshaw was viewed as the top center prospect in the national class of 2023. He was 7-feet plus, mobile, and athletic with good hands, a soft touch that extended out to the three-point line, and shot-blocking ability.

“Production didn’t always live up to his potential though, with his motor and physicality both being clear works-in-progress during his high school years.

“It was more of the same this year at Kentucky, especially after his transition to the college game was impeded by an injury that cost him the first few weeks of the season. While he made an immediate impact upon returning in early December, he saw his role diminish as the season went on. He finished the season averaging just 4.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 13.8 minutes per night.

“While there is unfortunately now a pattern of underachieving, what is debatable is how much of that is contextual, after playing on teams built around DJ Wagner throughout high school. What remains undeniable is that Bradshaw’s ceiling remains high if he ever fully commits himself to maximizing his potential. There just aren’t many seven-footers who can space the floor vertically and with their shooting while simultaneously being able to protect the rim and move their feet laterally.”
