... in 1989, freshman Chris Mills decided to transfer to Arizona in wake of the pending probation. Mills was one of the best players from the disastrous 1988-89 team that only won 13 games. Chris was the center of a major scandal involving receiving improper payments, allegedly from a UK booster. The scandal broke when an Emery Worldwide package addressed to Mills' father popped open and several large-denomination bills spilled out. After Mills took a trip to Tucson to visit the University of Arizona, he decided Lute Olson would be the perfect fit for his game. He was named to the All-SEC Freshman team, as well as third team All-SEC while at Kentucky. Mills is also a part of the elusive Kentucky triple-double club.
