Mark Pope's Kentucky Wildcats are taking an unconventional approach this summer, opting for a trip to Las Vegas instead of a planned foreign tour. The team, currently in Las Vegas, is participating in NBA Summer League activities, which will include high-intensity early morning practices and networking opportunities with former Wildcats in the NBA. Additionally, traditional summer camps are on hold as the program reevaluates its summer structure amid changes in NCAA rules. Pope mentioned the possibility of seeking waivers for an unspecified alternative project.
