BREAKING: Kentucky Closing In on 6-Foot-9 Transfer Star Great Osobor — Insiders Say a Shocking Commitment Is Imminent
Lexington is buzzing with excitement as Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats continue their red-hot streak in the transfer portal — and the next big move could be the biggest yet. According to multiple sources, 6-foot-9 forward Great Osobor is on the verge of committing to Kentucky in a move that could dramatically shift the balance of power in college basketball.
Osobor, one of the most sought-after big men in the transfer market, has drawn interest from top programs across the country after a breakout season where he averaged 17.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. But now, after weeks of speculation, insiders are confidently projecting that the British-born forward is leaning heavily toward Kentucky — and a formal announcement could drop at any moment.
Sources close to the situation say Osobor has been particularly impressed with Pope’s vision for the Wildcats and his NBA-style system that perfectly suits Osobor’s versatile game. A dynamic presence in the paint with the ability to stretch the floor and defend multiple positions, Osobor would immediately bolster Kentucky’s frontcourt and give the Wildcats one of the most balanced lineups in the country.
But what’s turning heads even more is what Osobor is reportedly turning down. Rumors indicate the star forward received multiple multimillion-dollar NIL offers — including from bluebloods like Kansas and USC — but sees something “special” brewing in Lexington. According to a close source, “Great wants to win, and he believes Kentucky is where that happens. The chance to play under Pope, in front of Big Blue Nation, and be part of a national championship run — that’s what matters most to him.”
If the commitment goes through, it would be yet another massive portal win for Mark Pope, who has quickly gone from new hire to recruiting powerhouse in a matter of weeks. With Osobor in the mix, Kentucky could emerge not just as an SEC favorite — but as a serious Final Four contender.
Is Great Osobor the final piece in Kentucky’s title puzzle? The basketball world is watching closely — and fans better stay glued to their screens.
Because this could be the moment that changes everything.
