Kentucky is fresh off of its first commitment from the transfer portal, but there's no time to rest. And, Mark Pope is gearing up for an extremely busy week this week.
After hosting a visit for Drexel big man Amari Williams this weekend, Kentucky turned its attention to BYU transfer guard Richie Saunders on Monday.
But, that's not all. According to a report, there will be multiple visits for Kentucky this week.
College basketball analyst and insider Matt Norlander of CBS reported on Monday that Kentucky has official visits schedueld 'every day' this week.
"Mark Pope has official visits scheduled every day this week w/ a different player," Norlander put in a social media post. "Richie Saunders—in the portal but also considering staying @ BYU—is first up. Will be a huge next 5-7 days for the future of UK's roster in Pope's Year 1. UK landed Amari Williams over the weekend."

While there haven't been a lot of names outwardly connected to Kentucky as having set up visits, players like Great Osobor and Johnell Davis have been trending Kentucky's way.
Also, earlier on Monday it was announced that Kentucky was one of the final five programs for the best shooter in the country, Koby Brea.
Kentucky is certainly connected with some big time players in the portal and this week could see the early days of the Mark Pope era get off to a terrific start.
