Kentucky roster after hiring Mark Pope: Who’s in, out for Wildcats after John Calipari moves on to Arkansas CBS Sports

—

After Kentucky announced it has tabbed BYU coach Mark Pope, a former Wildcats star who played under Rick Pitino at Kentucky from 1994-96 and is returning to his alma mater after spending the last five seasons at BYU, there has been plenty of movement on the UK roster.
