2025-26 Roster Chatter (UPDATE: Oweh Returns, Roster Complete)

[KCKUKFan]

KSR reporting the Cats could be in the mix for Jamir Watkins from Florida State. Sorry if this has already been posted.

That would be great.

What about this guy?

It would be great if we could land him.

I would've sworn I saw Sarr's name *very* high on draft boards earlier in the season. Like in the top 5 or 10. Maybe not?

Oregon.

Saw where Kentucky had contacted St. John's transfer Jaiden Glover.

Glover hardly played as the year went along, but more interesting there is that it's another St. John's player. The strange pipeline (it's a stretch to call it that at this point) back and forth between Pitino and Pope is still intriguing....especially with Luis still out there.

I was about to say. Why would we contact Glover and not Luis?

Another possibility is that they're just looking for a last guy on the bench who also might be a candidate to not bail after this next season. Having at least *some* semblance of potential returners is kinda important...and really hard to achieve in this landscape these days.

[Joneslab]

Kentucky has contacted former Indiana commit and spectacularly named Harun Zrno, out of Bosnia.

[Joneslab]

^ No need even to look up Harun Zrno's YouTube highlights, because he plays exactly like you'd think he would play.

Zrno after the refs go to the monitor for a fifth time.

That doesn't surprise me. We as fans are looking at the remaining players in the portal from the states and Pope and staff are World wide with it..

Probably a few overseas players that they have been looking at for a while and keeping tabs on.

Do we even have to pay guys like this? I mean is the scholarship and right to play for UK enough to lure them with out having to also include NIL money to boot or do guys like Noah and Perry get paid in addition to their scholarships as well?

The fact that Glover was a 4-star, top 50 player out of high school probably makes his value go up more than it maybe should.
