Kentucky Wildcats News: NCAA Transfer Portal Opens
A big day for Kentucky Basketball and the rest of the college hoops world!
Good morning, BBN! Today is an important day in the college basketball calendar as the transfer portal officially opens for a two-week period. What does that mean?
Free agency is kicking off. For the Kentucky Wildcats , it also tips off the most important offseason of the Mark Pope era to this point. After a disappointing year two, the UK staff is looking to make some noise this offseason.
The key, however, is piecing together a roster that fits what Coach Pope wants to do on the offensive end of the floor. That is where Keegan Brown comes into play as the Director of Roster Management. At this point, you have to imagine that the big board is set with players who have already announced their intentions to enter the portal.
You also have to think they have feelers out with players who are on the edge of entering or not as well. Luckily for the Cats, the most expensive position this offseason seems to be the center position, and Kentucky has locked up its star big man in Malachi Moreno. But the fun will still continue as they look to land a few stars to round out this roster and make some noise in year three.
