Mark Pope has been working nonstop since being named Kentucky's newest head coach.
Pope brought in players such as Lamont Butler, Otega Oweh, Andrew Carr and Coby Blair to strengthen Kentucky's roster in the first year of the Pope era.
There were a lot of concerns about Lexington's roster after Calipari left the team after going to Arkansas.
247Sports also has high praise for Pope's move, currently ranking Kentucky among the top five transfer portal teams.
Kentucky ranked fifth with seven transfers committed.
“As the spring window closes, Kentucky's transfer portal is red-hot. New head coach Mark Pope and the Wildcats have already committed to up to seven transfers as they put together their roster. Former McDonald All-American Brandon Garrison leads Kentucky. The 6-foot-11, 245-pound big man shined as a true freshman at Oklahoma State last season. , Lamont Butler Jr. and former Oklahoma wing Otega Oweh are also in Kentucky's top 50 transfer additions following recent updates.The start of a new era in Lexington looks promising. There is still a possibility that new works will appear.”
The remaining four schools in the top five are as follows:
- Indiana
- Kansas
- arkansas
- west virginia
There's been a lot of excitement surrounding this roster so far because of the amount of veteran talent Pope brings to the Bluegrass State.
