Despite having no points from returning players during his inaugural season at Kentucky, Mark Pope’s first season in Lexington was a success. Now, he’ll hope to build off the team’s Sweet 16 experience, although he’ll have to do it with a new cast of characters on the 2025-26 Kentucky basketball roster. Five of the team’s top six scorers are seniors now out of eligibility, so Pope will attack the college basketball transfer portal in addition to retaining top Kentucky basketball recruits. There are high expectations for the Kentucky Wildcats’ incoming recruits, which include Jasper Johnson, Malachi Moreno and Acaden Lewis.
All three rank among the top five, nationally, at their positions, but which experienced players from the portal can UK pair with these talented newcomers on the Kentucky basketball roster?

Kentucky basketball roster news
The Wildcats have had just one player enter the transfer portal, with that being Kerr Kriisa. Due to a season-ending foot injury, he played in only nine games for UK this past season, which followed one year at West Virginia, after beginning his college career with three seasons at Arizona. Kriisa will play his sixth and final college season at Cincinnati as he’s already committed to the Bearcats. Of the seven seniors on Mark Pope’s inaugural Kentucky Wildcats roster, Kriisa is the only one who had any eligibility remaining.
A huge addition, in multiple ways, for Pope came via Mouhamed Dioubate committing to the Wildcats from the portal on April 7. Not only do the Cats get a former four-star recruit with two years of college experience, but they also weaken a rival as Dioubate is leaving the University of Alabama. The 6-foot-7 forward brings a defensive presence as he ranked among the top three on the Tide in rebounds, steals and blocks per game, despite being just eighth on Bama in minutes per game. Pope also got a first-hand look at how Dioubate can impact a game as he had 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in Alabama’s SEC Tournament victory over Kentucky last month.

NFL weather in Week 15: How snow and frigid temperatures will impact multiple games
December on the East Coast and in the Midwest usually means one thing: extreme cold. Though temperatures are dropping thanks to cold air making its way south from Canada, NFL games must go on, and a quite a few of them will be impacted by frigid temperatures in Week 15.The coldest game of the week is expected to be the Chicago Bears vs. the Cleveland Browns. The game — which will take place in Chicago — has a high of 12, with a wind chill of -19, per Weather.com. While no snow is expected to fall during the game, winds could reach up to 22 mph.
