Kentucky’s chasing that final scholarship spot as Mark Mitchell’s eligibility hangs in the balance, but Coach Pope’s got a strong backup plan: Michigan State transfer Jaxon Kohler. Just cleared to enter the transfer portal via a California court ruling, Kohler — a six-foot-ten big man who averaged over 12 points and nearly 9 rebounds last season — is set to Zoom with Kentucky on Wednesday. A team captain and All-Big Ten honorable mention honoree, Kohler brings scoring, rebounding, and three-point range, fitting Pope’s system perfectly despite not being the flashiest athlete. With Mitchell’s legal case still pending, Kentucky’s moving forward aggressively — and Kohler could be the key piece they need to fill the gap.
