Big Blue Nation reacts to another Kentucky transfer portal miss
The Kentucky Wildcats whiffed on forward Donnie Freeman on Monday, and Big Blue Nation took to social media to express their concerns.
Monday night was not a good one for the Kentucky Wildcats and Big Blue Nation. Transfer portal forward Donnie Freeman announced his commitment to St. John's and coach Mark Pope whiffed on another target this offseason.
It seemed like a lock that he would be a Wildcat last week, but former coach Rick Pitino lured him away, leaving Kentucky fans feeling a familiar disappointing feeling. The Wildcats have landed guards Zoom Diallo and Alex Wilkins so far, and got two talented players. However, the roster is still woefully understaffed, and the frontcourt is currently a mess.

Fans took to X on Monday night to express their frustrations with the state of the program.
