The 6-foot-9 Willis, who turns 21 next week, became a bigger part of Kentucky's rotation last season and finished with per-game averages of 7.7 points and 4.0 rebounds. He's the second-leading scorer returning to a Wildcats squad that lost three players to the NBA draft while Marcus Lee and Charles Matthews have transferred. Forward Alex Poythress has completed his eligibility.
