On April 22, Kentucky Men’s Basketball announced that Jason Hart would be joining the coaching staff as assistant coach. Fast forward nearly a month later, and the former Syracuse guard revealed that he wasn’t the biggest Mark Pope fan when he first heard the name. In an interview with Maggie Davis on BBN Tonight, Hart said that the first time he saw Pope was when Kentucky beat Syracuse in the 1996 National Championship — Hart’s senior year of high school prior to joining the Orange. Pope happened to drain the free throws that pushed Kentucky to a seven-point lead with a minute to go in the fi...

John Wall promised he wasn’t going anywhere when John Calipari left Kentucky and Mark Pope took over in Lexington. The former Wildcat star admitted it was sad seeing the change and how it all unfolded in March, but at the end of the day, he still bled blue through and through. “It’s sad to see him leave,” Wall said on his podcast Point Game. “I’m still part of Kentucky. I’m still going to be Big Blue Nation. They gave me the opportunity to play on the highest level you can in college basketball in D1, one of the biggest schools ever, and then get an opportunity to go to the NBA. That’s always ...

Alongside assistant Jason Hart, the two were roaming the Pacers Athletic Center in Indianapolis all night long to check out their top high school targets. This is the first session in which college coaches are allowed in attendance, so it was a who’s who of the best at their craft. Saturday’s schedule is even more packed, with games running from early in the morning to late in the evening. Pope and Hart were in the building bright and early, but so was another familiar face: Arkansas head coach John Calipari. A...

Kentucky is officially making its move on North Florida star Chaz Lanier, widely considered one of the top players in the transfer portal and a priority for Mark Pope to round out his debut roster in Lexington. Lanier, a native of Nashville, has scheduled an official visit to Kentucky starting Monday, according to Travis Branham of 247Sports.

Lanier averaged 19.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game on absurd 51/44/88 shooting splits last season at North Florida, emerging as ...

The 6-7 forward becomes the 11th addition for the Wildcats this offseason, bringing a valuable sharpshooter depth piece to Lexington. “Ansley is one of the best shooting mid-major bigs out there and he is a tremendous mover without the basketball,” Pope said. “He’s a fearless competitor with great leadership qualities. Ansley is a finance major who comes from an unbelievable family from Haiti. He’s a great addition to this roster as a veteran presence with a lot of college bas...

We already know what’s going to happen with Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham during next month’s NBA Draft in Brooklyn. The two are guaranteed lottery picks, near-locks to go in the Top 10, and there’s a chance one of them even sneaks into the top overall spot. This week’s NBA Draft Combine in Chicago is more of a formality for them compared to most of the draft hopefuls. But for the likes of Antonio Reeves and Justin Edwards, this week is an important one. Both of the former Wildcats could easily get drafted, just as easily as they could miss out on the second round entirely. Mock drafts are ...
