Kentucky Wildcats consider alternatives if Mark Mitchell chooses another school

Kentucky is focused on securing Missouri forward Mark Mitchell to fill its final roster spot ahead of the 2026 season. If Mitchell opts to pursue other opportunities, the Wildcats have several strong candidates lined up. Keyshawn Hall, a forward from Auburn, averaged 19.3 points last season and has already spoken with Kentucky. Jaxon Kohler from Michigan State and Cade Tyson out of Minnesota are also under consideration. Kentucky plans to hold a Zoom visit with Kohler today. Other potential options like Yale's Nick Townsend could emerge if the Wildcats need to look further down their list.
