## Resource

Mark Popes Global Hunt: Building Kentuckys 2026-27 Basketball Roster Mark Pope is actively recruiting for Kentuckys 2026-27 basketball roster, with a focus on finding a reliable backup center for Malachi Moreno. After missing out on a player in Israel, Pope is leveraging global networks to scout and prepare international talent. The teams approach is generating excitement among fans, who recognize the challenge of preparing international players for the SEC. Popes offseason moves have been strategic, with the goal of getting Ousmane N’Diaye and the next center on campus early for full practice reps. If Pope can secure a backup and potentially Milan Momcilovic, Wildcats Nation has much to look forward to in the upcoming season.
