Kentucky's Freeman Pursuit: Make or Break

0:00On April 20, Kentucky Wildcats are in a tight spot chasing power forward, Donnie Freeman, through the transfer portal. After his visit to Lexington, the team thought they had momentum, but he's still on the fence with no commitment inside. Yukon and Alabama jumped in but backed off recently, leaving Kentucky hanging. Meanwhile, their backup plan, Colorado's Sebastian Ronseek, got tired of waiting and committed to Florida State instead. Fans are split, some say don't overpay if he is not all in, but losing him could wreck the power forward rotation next season. Coach Mark Pope has been smart with spending so far, but this spot needs an elite talent to compete. Kentucky is not deep into other power forwards right now, making Freeman the clear top target. The staff might need to sweeten the deal quick before he slips away elsewhere. If they land him, the front court looks solid, otherwise it's back to the drawing board for a key piece in Pope's rebuild.
