Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope will hold a Zoom meeting with former Michigan State forward Jaxon Kohler. This comes after a California court ruling enabled Kohler and other class of 2022 athletes to enter the transfer portal. Kohler averaged 12.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game last season. Kentucky aims to strengthen its frontcourt and compete more effectively following a disappointing prior year. Although BYU remains a strong contender for Kohler, this meeting presents an opportunity for Kentucky to make its case.
