With eight national championships, 17 Final Four appearances, 33 conference tournament titles, and 53 regular season conference titles, the Kentucky Wildcats are one of the most successful programs in the history of college basketball. The Wildcats are ushering in a new era this offseason and will have an entirely new look when the 2024-25 college basketball season tips off. After 15 seasons, John Calipari left the program to become the new head coach at Arkansas, replacing Eric Musselman, who earlier left for the same job at USC. The Wildcats hired Mark Pope, a standout guard for the team’s 1996 national championship team, away from BYU to replace Calipari.
Not only will Kentucky have an all new coaching staff, they will also have an entirely new Kentucky basketball roster next season. Following the 2024 NCAA Tournament, every scholarship player on the Kentucky basketball roster either graduated or transferred, leaving Pope little time to put together a Kentucky basketball lineup for his first season on the job. Pope and his staff hit the Spring Transfer Portal hard, landing several elite transfer players, and remain in contact with several others.
