Pope Scouting Internationals for Kentucky

Kentucky’s new coach Mark Pope is on the move, reportedly scouting international talent in Mexico ahead of the season — and whispers point to a major target: Serbian phenom Savo Drezgic. While Pope’s beard might be a red herring, his presence at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup, where Brazil crushed the Dominican Republic, signals serious roster-building intent. With Milan Momcilovic already locked in, Pope’s global search is heating up — and teams like Gonzaga and Arizona State are watching too. The next big name for Lexington? Maybe already in the pipeline. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
