Insiders reveal 2025 recruitment, the roster, targets, and transfer portal news under Mark Pope

The Kentucky Wildcats will head into their second offseason under head coach Mark Pope, who led the program to the Sweet 16 in his debut campaign. He has less work to do in the college basketball transfer portal than he did in year one, when he signed nine transfers one month after taking over for John Calipari. Pope has the foundation of the 2025-26 Kentucky basketball roster built, but he still has multiple pieces to fill. The Wildcats are losing six key contributors to eligibility, including four starters. They also lost point guard Kerr Kriisa to the transfer portal after he was sidelined for most of the season due to an injury. However, Pope has already signed four players from the portal and is looking to put the finishing touches on a Kentucky basketball lineup that could go deep in the NCAA Tournament bracket. If you love the Wildcats, or want the latest roster updates and college basketball transfer portal news, be sure to see what the proven team of insiders are saying at CatsPause, the 247Sports affiliate that covers Kentucky.
