The Kentucky Wildcats are already making moves in the transfer portal as they look to reshape their roster, with Mark Pope reportedly targeting one of the more productive guards available in Finley Bizjack.
Bizjack, a 6-foot-4 guard from Texas, has spent the past three seasons with the Butler Bulldogs, steadily developing into one of the top scorers in the Big East Conference. During the 2025–26 campaign, he led Butler in scoring with 17.1 points per game, earning third-team All-Big East honors and drawing attention from multiple high-profile programs.
Kentucky’s reported interest signals a clear priority for Pope and his staff: adding proven, experienced scoring to the backcourt. With the ever-changing nature of college basketball rosters, particularly in the transfer portal era, players like Bizjack—who bring both production and experience—are highly valuable.
Bizjack’s offensive game is built around his ability to create his own shot, stretch the floor, and consistently put pressure on defenses. His scoring average last season highlights his role as a primary offensive option, something Kentucky could look to replicate as it builds its rotation for the upcoming season.
For the Wildcats, landing a player of Bizjack’s caliber would represent an important early win in the offseason. Pope is widely expected to be aggressive in the portal, aiming to construct a roster capable of competing at a high level immediately. Adding a guard with All-Big East credentials would not only boost Kentucky’s scoring but also provide leadership and stability in the backcourt.
While no decision has been made, Kentucky’s involvement places them firmly in the conversation for one of the portal’s more intriguing guards. As recruitment heats up, Bizjack’s combination of size, scoring ability, and experience is likely to keep him in high demand.
With the offseason just getting underway, this is likely only the beginning of what could be a busy and pivotal transfer cycle for Kentucky as the program looks to reload and make a strong push forward.
