Mark Pope has a roster for the 2025-26 season that looks like it could be one of the best in college basketball this season. Coach Pope searched far and wide to put this roster together, and now it looks like he has a team that is capable of winning Kentucky its ninth national title.

The number nine has become a big mantra for this team as they are ranked ninth heading into the season in the AP Poll, as they search for that elusive ninth national title.

Coach Pope has a roster that has a healthy mix of NBA talent with veteran leadership that has this basketball team looking very scary.

Pope wants his team to shoot the three-ball a lot, and he has the roster to do it. Some folks have had their fair share of concern heading into the season about this team shooting the ball, but it seems the 2025-26 team has a real shot to shoot the ball better than Pope's team did a year ago.

Players like Kam Williams, Andrija Jelavic, Jasper Johnson, Trent Noah, Collin Chandler, and Jaland Lowe have all proven to be lights-out shooters. Pope wants his team to shoot 30+ threes a game this season, a goal they did not reach a year ago.

Jayden Quaintance continues to fight back from the ACL injury, but the projected top five pick will be one of the best bigs in the nation when he is back on the floor.

Big Blue Nation is fired up to see this team take the floor, as this is one of the most highly anticipated seasons for Kentucky fans in a long time. The season gets started on Friday with an exhibition match against the #1 team in the land, Purdue.
