Kerr Kriisa, a former Kentucky basketball player, has been arrested by the FBI in connection with a fraud scheme. Kriisa, who also played for West Virginia, Arizona, and Cincinnati during his collegiate basketball career, is connected to a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme dating back to his time with the Mountaineers.
Kriisa, a 25-year-old Estonia native, spent three seasons with the Arizona Wildcats, increasing his scoring average each season. He was with West Virginia in 2023-24, averaging a career-high 11 points per game, though he also served a nine-game suspension that season for receiving impermissible benefits at Arizona.
Kriisa had recently been an announced participant for Kentucky’s The Basketball Tournament-affiliated team, “La Familia.” The 25-year-old is being extradited to West Virginia, according to the report, which did not provide additional details on the allegations.
