Pinging The Portal: UC Contacts Kentucky Shooting Guard C.J. Fredrick

CINCINNATI — Kentucky senior guard C.J. Fredrick entered the transfer portal this morning and Cincinnati has already reached out.

Kentucky Sports Radio's Jack Pilgrim reported the contact as Cincinnati searches for two players for the rest of the program's open 2023 roster spots.

The Cincinnati native averaged 6.1 points and 1.5 assists in 22.2 minutes per game last season. He's entering his final year of eligibility after spending three years at Iowa and two at Kentucky. He was a 46.6% three-point shooter at Iowa.

Injuries have taken enough of a toll on Frederick to have him contemplate retirement. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard can be a red-hot shooter, but he hasn't hit those heights in years after shooting 31.8% from three on 4 attempts per game last season.

His projected skillset fills a massive shooting hole left by David DeJulius, Landers Nolley II, and Jeremiah Davenport.

Fredrick is not ranked among On3's top 300 available transfers as of this writing.
