TOO FULL: Mark Pope’s Kentucky Wildcats Face TOUGH Choices If Milan Momcilovic Decides to Commit May 13, 2026

Show notes

Kentucky Wildcats face a roster crunch as the pursuit of Iowa State sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic raises tough questions - does Mark Pope have room for another superstar, or will new additions force out current contributors?

Lance Dawe breaks down Kentucky’s lineup challenges at small forward and power forward, highlighting the financial commitments to Justin McBride, Ousman N'Diaye, and Kam Williams, and wonders which players might see their roles reduced if Momcilovic arrives. Roster construction concerns don’t stop there: Kentucky stands thin at shooting guard with only Jerome Morton in a true 2-guard role. Can Alex Wilkins transition from ball-dominant point guard at Furman to fill the gap, or will the Wildcats’ backcourt depth prove costly if injuries strike? The episode wraps with excitement about Will Stein’s first year as Kentucky football’s head coach, analyzing a schedule packed with opportunities - and potential upsets against powerhouses like Alabama and LSU.
