The 2026 recruiting class didn’t go great for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats, as he missed on a lot of his top targets, including the #1 player in the class,
Tyran Stokes. Pope and the staff went all in on Stokes, which caused the Wildcats to miss on many other five-star players. Pope did, however, land Mason Williams, a point guard who was ranked 125th in the class.
Williams’ father is an NBA legend who won a championship with LeBron James and was an All-Star. Along with landing the four-star point guard, Pope also brought Mo Williams, the father of Mason, onto the staff, and he has been a really good recruiter for the Wildcats so far. Pope really needed some help on the recruiting trail, and it sounds like Williams is going to be able to provide that for him.
