The Wildcats are targeting another guard for more roster depth
With Mark Pope eagerly awaiting to see if his starting shooting guard, Otega Oweh, will return to Lexington or declare for the NBA Draft, and the sudden departure of Travis Perry, there is an open scholarship spot on the strong Kentucky Wildcats roster.
The latest player on the Cats’ radar is North Carolina A&T guard Ryan Forrest. This past season, as a true Sophomore, he averaged 19.1 points, shooting 39.9%, and 24.7% on shots from deep. Forrest also contributed 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in 32.6 minutes per game.
While Forrest has areas to improve, a move to Lexington could provide him with the opportunity to work on those weaknesses and grow as a player. At this moment, Forrest would likely serve as a utility piece for the Cats, adding depth to the team.
Hailing from Marion, Ark., Forrest who began his career at Northwestern has already garnered interest from several other schools, including Arkansas, Memphis, SMU, USC, Ole Miss, UNLV, Murray State, Dayton, Xavier, TCU, Butler, Texas A&M, Arizona State, New Mexico State, and UCF.

McConnell, 84, has faced a series of health issues in recent years. In March 2023, he suffered a concussion and broken ribs after a fall. Months later, he froze midsentence during a news conference that July. CNN later reported he had suffered two other falls earlier that year.
McConnell became a senator in 1985 and the body’s majority leader in 2015. In that role, he helped shape President Donald Trump’s first term, especially helping to usher through hundreds of federal judges.
But during Trump’s second term, McConnell, who is no longer in the Senate leadership position, has often found himself at odds with the president.
