The Kentucky Wildcats will try to snap an 11-year Final Four drought under second-year head coach Mark Pope next season. He led Kentucky to a 24-12 record and a Sweet 16 appearance in his first year at the helm following John Calipari’s departure. The Wildcats will lose multiple key contributors to graduation, but Pope has proven he can build the Kentucky basketball roster by using the college basketball transfer portal. While he had to form last year’s roster from scratch, Pope has a much better foundation to build a strong Kentucky basketball lineup this offseason.
The Wildcats have already landed multiple college basketball transfers, and the Kentucky basketball coaching staff continues to pursue other big names.

Kentucky basketball roster news
A pair of Wildcats have already announced that they will return next season, as center Brandon Garrison and guard Collin Chandler will be back in Lexington. Chandler averaged 5.5 points in 15.1 minutes per game across his final 11 contests, scoring 18 points in three NCAA Tournament games. Trent Noah, Travis Perry and leading scorer Otega Oweh are eligible to return, but Oweh is going through the NBA Draft process while maintaining his collegiate eligibility.
Kerr Kriisa transferred to Cincinnati following an injury-plagued season with Kentucky, making him the only outgoing transfer. Pope has earned four transfer commitments in Kam Williams (Tulane), Jaland Lowe (Pittsburgh), Mouhamed Dioubate (Alabama) and Jayden Quaintance (Arizona State). The Wildcats are reportedly in the mix for Auburn transfer Chad Baker-Mazara, who helped the Tigers reach the Final Four by averaging 12.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.
