CatsPause has covered the Wildcats for years and reveals all the latest news about the Kentucky basketball roster under new head coach Mark Pope
For just the second time over the last 100 years, a former player will take over the reigns of Kentucky basketball. Mark Pope is the new head coach in Lexington after winning a national championship with the Wildcats in 1996. Pope comes over from BYU and replaces John Calipari, who took his talents to Arkansas. With Calipari’s departure, many of his former players are also planning their exits by entering the college basketball transfer portal, thus making the 2024-25 Kentucky basketball roster one in transition. Calipari annually had some of the top Kentucky basketball recruiting classes, a trend that Pope hopes continue.
Kentucky basketball had the No. 1 recruiting class in 2023, per 247Sports, but Pope may not inherit many of those players due to transferring or the NBA Draft. Calipari infamously didn’t dip much into the transfer portal, an area that Pope could utilize to replenish the Kentucky basketball roster.
