Pittsburgh grad transfer Cameron Johnson will visit Kentucky on Wednesday and Thursday, according to Jon Rothstein.

Kentucky is one of six schools remaining on Johnson's list. Arizona, Ohio State, Oregon, TCU and UCLA are the other schools Johnson is still considering.

Johnson, who has two years of eligibility left, would be the most experienced player on Kentucky's roster if he were to choose the Wildcats. As a sophomore, Johnson averaged 11.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. He also shot 41.5 percent from three-point range.

Rothstein reported earlier on Monday that freshman forward Bam Adebayo would sign with an agent and remain in the NBA Draft. Adebayo's departure means Wenyen Gabriel will be Kentucky's most experienced returner. It also means Kentucky will push harder for the commitment of five-star center Mohamed Bamba.

While Johnson would bring an offensive boost, his experience could be just as big of a factor while Kentucky's No. 1 ranked recruiting class gets acclimated to college basketball.
