Kentucky basketball under Mark Pope: Transfer portal news 2024 roster targets recruits SEC expert insight…..
The Kentucky Wildcats are getting set for their first season under head coach Mark Pope, who finalized his Kentucky basketball coaching staff earlier this week. Mikhail McLean, who earned NCAA Tournament coaching experience as the Director of Player Development at Houston several years ago, will be the fifth and final staff addition as an assistant coach. Pope had to rebuild the Kentucky basketball roster this offseason after every player from last year’s roster left following the departure of coach John Calipari. The new Kentucky basketball lineup is full of additions from the transfer portal who are hoping to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
Calipari spent the last 15 seasons guiding Kentucky’s men’s basketball team, so this has been one of the most notable off-seasons for the program in decades. Pope won a national championship as a player with Kentucky and now will try to win a championship as a coach.
