Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats have already made a strong impression in the transfer portal this offseason — but their work may not be done yet.
Following the recent portal entry of Travis Perry and with Otega Oweh still weighing his NBA Draft decision, Kentucky appears to be keeping its options open.
According to Sam Kayser, the Wildcats are among 14 programs that have reached out to Miami Hurricanes guard Divine Ugochukwu. Other schools expressing interest include Texas Tech, Baylor, Pitt, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech.
Ugochukwu just completed his freshman season at Miami, where the 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard averaged 5.3 points, 2.3 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and one steal per game in 20.2 minutes. He scored in double figures three times and notched multiple assists in 16 games. Notably, he became the first Miami freshman since 2020 to record 10 or more rebounds in a game against Duke.
With a year of experience under his belt and upside to develop, Ugochukwu is a name to keep an eye on as Kentucky continues to shape its 2025 roster.
