Cats Illustrated: So how was your trip to UK, what did you do in town and what did you take away from this visit?

Tra Wilkins: I really just hung out with the coaching staff. We took pictures and stuff. It was just about chilling up there. We just chilled and I showed Miles around a little.

Cats Illustrated: Which coaches did you spend the most time with?

Wilkins: Coach Stoops, Coach House, Coach Smith, the recruiting coordinators and I also spent time with a couple of the players. There was Stanley Garner, and he was just texting me a little bit ago, and two Florida boys.

Cats Illustrated: How did you get along with Stanley?

Wilkins: Me and Stanley, we're cool and we related a lot because I'm going to be an early enrollee. He was just letting me know that once you get there the clock starts and everything gets going fast. He's just letting me know how it is up there.
