Kentucky is getting their first transfer portal visit this weekend

Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats have made it a point of emphasis to get a veteran point guard out of the transfer portal this offseason. They have already contacted some of the top available players, and now they have set up a visit with Zoom Diallo , formerly of the Washington Huskies . Diallo told Kentucky Sports Radio that he will be taking a visit to Lexington this weekend, starting on Friday.

He is one of the top point guards available, and was targeted early by Pope, who set up a Zoom call quickly after entered the portal. Last season, Diallo averaged 15. 7 points and 4.

5 assists, and 3. 9 rebounds per game for Washington. His three-point shooting wasn't great, at just 31%, but it's an area he is improving in.

A former four-star recruit, Diallo has loads of talent, and room for further development. Pope is certainly interested in doing that developing in Lexington. Diallo will get a chance to take in the sights this weekend, and Pope will look to make a good impression.
