Mark Pope can make Kentucky the best scoring team in the SEC with a huge final pickup
One final commitment could immediately make Kentucky the best scoring team in the SEC.
I’m not usually a fan of the changes that NIL has brought to college basketball being put into action. Massive contracts and conflict with agents have, I think, made this sport worse from every angle, but that’s a different story for a different day. If it has to happen, I want Kentucky to benefit from it.
And in the case of transfer wing Cade Tyson, Mark Pope and the Wildcats could be on the precipice of a legitimately season-changing opportunity. Tyson, currently short on eligibility, is among the group of players suing the NCAA in pursuit of a fifth year of hoops.
If he ends up being granted that fifth year, BigBlueDylan is already rumoring on X that Kentucky will take an interest in Tyson. This seems like a ways out with all of the legal complications still yet to come, but if the Cats get any sort of real shot at Tyson, they should absolutely swing for the fences.
Kentucky is rumored to be among the programs with interest in Cade if he gets cleared for his 5th year, I’ve been told.
Tyson on his own would’ve been a seismic pickup, but paired with the best three-point shooter in the sport in Milan Momcilovic? Kentucky would basically turn into a scoring giant in the SEC overnight, more so than the team already is.
Cade Tyson Makes Kentucky a Scoring Giant
The NCAA’s recent 5-in-5 ruling declared that any outgoing players who have exhausted their eligibility will not be granted an extra year, as the strict five-year window opens for players in this coming season and beyond.
Denzel Aberdeen, who just transferred from Kentucky back to Florida, is another name amongst the fray seeking a fifth year. It’s hard to tell how that whole shabang will pan out for any of those guys, but if Coach Pope is truly playing ball for Tyson, I selfishly hope he gets a chance to run it back.
