Kentucky Zooms in on Dink Pate

The Wildcats’ coaching staff scheduled a Zoom call with 6‑7 guard Dink Pate after assessing his performance in the Westchester Knicks’ season finale. Kentucky’s interest in the versatile guard has grown since the transfer portal opened, with Mark Pope reportedly keeping a close eye on the player’s progress. Pate, who has also spoken with SMU, still signals a desire to play college basketball in the 2026‑27 season, keeping Kentucky’s pursuit active.
