Twany Beckham transferred to Kentucky from Mississippi State after the fall semester of last year. He started 5 of the 14 games he played in for Mississippi State. Saturday’s game against Chattanooga marks the beginning of Twany’s eligibility as a Wildcat. Twany’s experience should help the Cats. His size and length are a great fit according to Calipari. Beckham was three-year starter for coach Chris Renner at Ballard High School in Louisville, Ky., where he helped pace the Bruins to a three-year composite mark of 86-16 (.843) and a pair of Sweet 16 state tournament appearances. He averaged 16.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game to earn first-team all-state honors his senior year.
