Kentucky basketball is staying active as Mark Pope continues to shape the Wildcats’ roster for the 2026-27 college basketball season. The biggest Kentucky basketball news centers on the final scholarship spot, with Missouri transfer Mark Mitchell and Michigan State transfer Jaxon Kohler emerging as major names to watch.

Mark Mitchell’s eligibility situation remains a key storyline for Kentucky Wildcats basketball fans. The former Missouri forward is seeking another year of college eligibility, and Kentucky could become a serious option if he is cleared to enter the transfer portal. Mitchell would give Mark Pope another experienced, versatile frontcourt piece as UK prepares for another run through the SEC.

Jaxon Kohler has also entered the Kentucky basketball transfer portal conversation. The 6-foot-10 Michigan State forward recently met with Kentucky and brings proven rebounding, scoring and three-point shooting. Kohler averaged 12.5 points and 8.9 rebounds while shooting nearly 39 percent from three, making him an intriguing fit in Mark Pope’s offense.

Kentucky basketball schedule news is also picking up. The Wildcats will host Wichita State at Rupp Arena on Black Friday, November 27, while Texas Tech is reportedly expected to visit Lexington for a preseason exhibition. Big Blue Madness is scheduled for October 2.
