BREAKING NEWS: Mark Pope found a hidden gem in the transfer portal who is set to shock the nation
Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope has identified a potential breakout star in the transfer portal: Kam Williams, a guard from Tulane. Despite being the first addition to Kentucky’s 2025-26 roster via the portal, Williams has flown under the radar. Pope believes Williams possesses the talent to make a significant impact and surprise many in the upcoming season.
Williams joins a roster bolstered by other notable transfers, including Jayden Quaintance from Arizona State, who is recovering from ACL surgery and expected to return by the season opener. Additionally, Reece Potter, a 7-foot-1 center from Miami (OH), brings size and shooting ability to the team. With these additions, Pope has assembled a diverse and talented squad poised to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
As the Wildcats gear up for the 2025-26 season, all eyes will be on how these new pieces, particularly the under-the-radar Kam Williams, integrate into Pope’s system and contribute to Kentucky’s pursuit of championship glory.
