Recently, Mark Lyons and Xavier University parted ways. When the news came down, the short list of potential transfer schools for Lyons leaked out. Kentucky was on that list, but the Wildcat faithful didn't seem very interested in Lyons donning the blue and white next season due to his character issues. Well, the Big Blue Nation might not get a choice because Lyons reportedly visited Lexington yesterday and could be coming back for another visit very soon. The report was tweeted earlier today by Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports.

Xavier transfer Mark Lyons visited Kentucky yesterday, sources told CBSSports. May go back tomorrow. Crazy part is how it remained a secret.

A secret? I guess the press didn't know about the Lyons visit for yesterday, but it was no secret that he planned to visit at some point. It has been rumored that Lyons will visit Kansas as well and Arizona, where his former coach Sean Miller currently coaches.

What do you think about the prospect of Mark Lyons possibly playing his senior season for UK?
