Mark Mitchell Joins Kentucky | SEC Basketball News

Mark Mitchell, a proven scorer and versatile forward with two seasons at Duke and two at Missouri, is officially headed to Kentucky — a massive boost for coach Mark Pope’s breakout campaign. Hitting nearly 39% from three, averaging 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, Mitchell brings elite shooting and experience. A legal maneuver cleared his eligibility, allowing him to play immediately and even into 2027. Joining him as a five-star transfer is Milan Momcilovic, making Kentucky’s projected starting five four transfers — including point guard Zoom Diallo and shooting guard Alex Wilkins. With seven-footer Malachi Moreno as the lone returning starter, Pope’s aggressive rebuild is taking shape into a serious title contender.
