 Kentucky also brought in transfer guard Julius Mays, a graduate student who had previously played at Wright State University and North Carolina State.Mays was eligible to play immediately, because UK offered a master's degree program that Wright State did not.However, the only returner that saw significant minutes from the championship squad was back-up power forward Kyle Wiltjer, who averaged 11 minutes per game (Ryan Harrow sat out the previous season after transferring from NC State before the 2011–12 season).
