Kentucky is hosting one of the transfer portal's top forwards Tuesday
The Kentucky Wildcats and Mark Pope are busy hosting visits with top transfer portal players this week, and a top forward visits on Tuesday.
Monday was a big day for the Kentucky Wildcats and coach Mark Pope. No. 1 2026 recruit Tyran Stokes was in town on a visit, as was Rob Wright III, the top point guard available in the transfer portal.
Both would be huge wins for the program, but Tuesday's visitor is also a big one. Forward Donnie Freeman will be in Lexington to meet with the staff. Freeman is a 6'9", 205 power forward who was a former five-star recruit in the 2024 class.
He committed to Syracuse as the 15th ranked player in the group, and he immediately became a key player. Last season, he was an impact player, averaging 16. 5 points and 7.
2 rebounds per game. He's also a capable shooter, and knocked down 30% from three-point range, making him a valuable stretch forward who can help spread defenses out. Injuries have been an issue, and it does make Freeman a bit riskier.
