The 6\u20197\u2033 213 lbs. guard announced this morning he will use his final season of eligibility elsewhere as a grad transfer. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"5ZDvpzHu\">\n<p>Thank You Rutgers  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qUXhp11fjU\">pic.twitter.com\/qUXhp11fjU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Paul Mulcahy (@paulmulcahy_4) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulmulcahy_4\/status\/1667157043084394496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>As a senior, Mulcahy averaged 8.3 points, 4.9 assists, and 3.6 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights while shooting 41.6% from the field and 37.0% (20-54) from the outside. Over four years, he started 81 of 121 games, averaging 6.8 points, 4.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game. <\/p>\n<p>Mulcahy suffered a shoulder injury in Rutgers\u2019 season opener vs. Columbia. He missed four games due to the injury but dealt with the pain throughout the season, averaging 6.5 points on 37.5% shooting in the final 11 games. By the end of the season, freshman <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/derek-simpson-147017\/\">Derek Simpson<\/a><\/strong> took over more of the lead guard role for the Scarlet Knights, who finished 19-15 and lost to Hofstra in the first round of the NIT.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky doesn\u2019t exactly need another guard next season, but at 6\u20197\u2033, Mulcahy is big enough to play on the wing and is a decent shooter and excellent passer. With potentially eight freshmen and two sophomores, the Cats could use a veteran with four years of experience if he\u2019s willing to accept a backup role.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"sNXYmxY9HyZClfLri7Cg0Q2E7m1sDRvdprV1Ooj8DU5MfV83SFuhlK40qBtEzauAkR\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tCj89fh5H8c\"><\/a><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/kentucky-wildcats\/news\/paul-mulcahy-transfer-portal-kentucky-reaches-out\/\">Kentucky reaches out to Rutgers transfer Paul Mulcahy<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new player just hit the transfer portal and Kentucky has already expressed interest.
