The Portsmouth Invitational was designed for seniors who had exhausted their college eligibility, but Ramey’s participation was a bit of a gray area because the NCAA gave players an extra COVID-19 year.
The camp was not played for the past two years due to COVID-19 concerns.
Ramey who is a fifth-year senior, is expected to play a big role for the Wildcats this season after transferring from Texas, where he spent most of the past four years as a starter.
