Kentucky basketball just landed two of the BEST SHOOTERS in the nation in Koby Brea and Kerr Kriisa!
Kentucky basketball just landed Koby Brea and Kerr Kriisa. two of the best shooters in college basketball.
On today’s episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses Mark Pope adding Koby Brea from the Dayton Flyers and Kerr Kriisa from the West Virginia Mountaineers to the Kentucky Wildcats 2024 roster. Brea is the best three-point shooter in the nation and will be a flamethrower for Pope and the Cats. Kriisa is also an excellent outside shooter, a great passer, but can also be a bit volatile. Both of these additions are phenomenal for Kentucky basketball.
Now that Mark Pope has nine players in total on roster – Lamont Butler, Travis Perry, Kerr Kriisa, Koby Brea, Collin Chandler, Otega Oweh, Andrew Carr, Amari Williams, and Brandon Garrison – what else does UK have to do in the college basketball transfer portal to round out the rotation?

Woohoo go Cats!
BBN 🎉
I don’t know a thing about Kerr Kriisa. But, I respect Arizona and West Virginia for basketball quality.
We have the bigs and the guards! Pope and his crew are doing great!
I've been a BIG Kentucky fan since the days of Rupp and I'll have to admit
the last 9 seasons has been heartbreaking and was getting continuously worse.
I have HOPE for POPE!
Big day for kentucky basketball AND football, getting the highest ranked RB they have ever gotten.
Lord I hope I make it through next year I want to see the championship one more time go big blue
Yall are delusionall thinking this team is gonna be good. This will be a team made up of mid-major players and power conference rejects, and none of these players have ever played together.
Welcome to the BBN. GO CATS
4;26 cst .
Kadary richmond???
All I see is role players. Not one player averaged over 13 points a game. We have no one who can go out and get Kentucky a bucket down two with ten seconds left. I wanted Cal gone more than anyone but I am not impressed with team full of guys who avereaged 9 to 13 points a game.
The real question is when are you losers and haters going to realize you cant keep KY down. Your laughable
They need 2 small forwards to round out the roster.
Honestly I like everyone added for next year’s roster so far. Koby Brea has an amazingly smooth game and shot. He is going to be well paid playing in the NBA or elsewhere for a long time.
MARCH POPE
Now its time for developmental and role players or maybe more local and overlooked talent.
You guys are easily impressed if you think we can win with these role players. There is no Johnell Davis, AJ Storr Or Kadary Richmond to score a basket when you need one.
Robinson and smith from Utah and we have a threat to get to a final 4
I'm glad he's in
Considering what we had of a roster 10 to 12 days ago. I couldn't be happier. Still believe we need one more player who can get a bucket anytime they want
Still need Jaxson and a assist-centric PG
If UK can pick up that guy from BYU and a couple of good playmaker guards then they should be a strong contender for the NCAA championship in Mark Pope’s first year!
#GOBIGBLUENATION 💪💯☝️💙💙💙
UK’s top ranked transfer is 23rd. For a season that is 99% dependent on the transfer portal, I'm starting to worry a bit.
Out of the 8 total transfers, just 3 are ranked in the top 50 for UK’s class.
While West Virginia is getting studs like Javon Small (top 10) and Tucker DeVries (top 3), Kentucky is getting Kerr Kriisa (not ranked inside the top 100).
My first text I sent out was, great hire. One of us and loves Kentucky. He has played against the sec now gets to coach.
I think we definitely need to add 2-3 freshmen yet even if they’re 3 stars. Need young guys to develop for the future
Not saying that Kriisa is a bad player, but when we already have a wholel squad a role-player types, this pickup was a head-scratcher for me. If we want to be competitive next year, we got to get 2-3 big fish who are playmakers that can go get buckets. I'm getting nervous that we haven't been able to land one yet and we are running out of roster spots.
The stimulation of the pineal gland…it is upon us little kitty oh….
Go Big Blue!
I’m hearing Amari wants out
Man O' Boy are we going to have a champion ship team coming up!!! I'm excited about to see how it ALLS going to work out.. Love BBN KY, Cat's!!
Who is left in the portal that we could go after that can consistenty get a basket off the dribble when needed?
Did I hear that #1 Davis committed to POPE….NOPE!
Very typical of our “fans” to start trashing players before they even put on a UK Jersey. 🙄
Kentucky will not be pushed around in the paint this season
Pope is a better coach than Calipari
@LockOnKentucky Hey Lance explain NBA testing to me?
I see the possibility of banners coming to Kentucky.
Pope
Brea shoots so pure, he hardly touches the ball
Not many freshman this season lol
Our new team sucks! It feels like we bought a bunch of clowns who Do Not care about Kentucky or each other. All of these guys just want our money. Kentucky basketball is a joke now. Very Depressing! 😢
This shows that not only did Pope put together a great coaching staff, but in three weeks, we have a roster that will compete against any team in the NCAA’s. Way to go Mark.
Papal Infallibility
Round out the roster with Jaxson and you got a contender
It's Going to a team under Pope if play together,? Be out of the boards! ! ! Go BBN!!!!😊
I know pope will work hard his first year getting these kids ready to play and in shape. I’m not worried. We have a better shot than last year of winning with cal . That wasn’t going anywhere.
