Beginning in the fall of 2024–25, the Kentucky Wildcats will sport an almost entirely new appearance for their college basketball campaign. The Kentucky basketball team’s roster has undergone a significant overhaul, and John Calipari has moved on to Arkansas. Mark Pope, a former guard for Kentucky, was recruited away from BYU to become the new head coach of the team. He will be responsible for replacing five of the six players in the 2024 recruiting class for Kentucky basketball. Pope was compelled to use the Transfer Portal in an attempt to reassemble the Kentucky basketball team, and so far, it has worked.
The NCAA Tournament-experienced transfers that the Wildcats have brought in should mesh well with Pope’s fast-paced offensive scheme. There are still several scholarships available, and the Wildcats are in communication with a number of players through the portal. If you’re a die-hard Wildcat supporter or simply want to stay up to date on roster changes and college basketball transfer portal news, check out what the knowledgeable staff of insiders at CatsPause, the 247Sports affiliate that covers Kentucky, has to say.

departures from the Kentucky basketball roster
Soon after Calipari left Kentucky, several other Wildcats from the team from the previous season were also in transition. When he committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes, Aaron Bradshaw was the first player from the previous season to follow Calipari to Arkansas, and Zvonimir Ivisic was the first to commit to a new team. D.J. Wagner, Bradshaw’s teammate in high school, is allegedly being encouraged to sign with the Razorbacks by Calipari.
The Wildcats roster for the upcoming season will be altered for reasons other than the transfer portal. Tre Mitchell and Antonio Reeves, two of Kentucky’s leading scorers from the previous campaign, are both graduating. Rob Dillingham, Ugonna Onyenso, and Justin Edwards have all declared for the 2024 NBA Draft. Additionally, there is movement in the class of recruits, indicating that Pope’s 2024–25 roster is far from set in stone.
