The Kentucky Wildcats will usher in a new era when the 2024-25 college basketball season tips off. After 15 seasons, John Calipari, who won one national title in Lexington and turned Kentucky into a recruiting juggernaut, left to become the new head coach at Arkansas. UK replaced Calipari with Mark Pope, a standout guard on the Wildcats’ 1996 national championship team.
