Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope has sparked a new wave of excitement among Big Blue Nation, confidently stating that the program is nearing the addition of another elite talent. According to sources close to the team, Pope is eyeing none other than Cooper Flagg — the highly-touted forward widely considered the top prospect in the nation.
“We’re very close,” Pope said during a media appearance on Thursday. “When you’re building a championship roster, it’s about finding the right pieces who not only bring talent, but also character and grit. Cooper checks all those boxes.”
Flagg, who reclassified to the 2024 class and has drawn comparisons to NBA stars for his size, defensive instincts, and playmaking, has been courted by several powerhouse programs. However, Kentucky’s storied legacy and Pope’s revitalized vision for the team appear to be making a strong impression.
While no official commitment has been made, insiders suggest a decision could come in the next few days. Should Flagg choose Kentucky, it would be a monumental addition to a squad already brimming with potential under Pope’s leadership.
Fans eagerly await confirmation, as Mark Pope continues to build a roster that could very well return the Wildcats to national prominence.
