The Kentucky Wildcats will have a new look when the 2024-25 college basketball season tips off. After 15 seasons and 410 total wins, John Calipari left Kentucky to become the head coach at Arkansas. Kentucky hired Mark Pope, a former standout player for the Wildcats, away from BYU to replace Calipari. Calipari guided the Wildcats to four Final Four appearances and one national title and turned Kentucky into a national college basketball recruiting juggernaut. When Calipari left Lexington, the Wildcats’ future became very murky. Multiple Class of 2024 signees opted to follow Calipari, as did center Zvonimir Ivisic, who averaged 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in limited action during his freshman campaign at Kentucky.
Where will Pope turn to build his 2024-25 Kentucky basketball roster and Kentucky basketball recruiting class?
