Kentucky basketball’s 2024 roster is almost complete, with Jaxson Robinson claiming the 12th scholarship. That leaves the Wildcats with just one open spot available at this point in time.
On Tuesday, coach Mark Pope gave a press conference, and spoke to the media about that 13th scholarship.
No, it’s still the same. I think we had a pretty good feel of where we were a couple weeks ago and it’s just been confirmed for us more than anything else. We’re going to find it. There could be 100 different reasons why a 13th scholarship would fit.
Among the options for the final spot are an international player, or possibly a player who reclassifies to 2024. Whatever the case, it’s not likely to happen until later in the summer.
Kentucky fans are excited to see how the 2024-25 roster comes together and performs. They’ll have to wait a bit to see the final player, and hopefully, it will be the final piece of the puzzle for a championship caliber team.
