Coach Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats have been after a few different players to add as the 15th member of the Kentucky roster. Of late, there are two names that the Wildcats have been associated with, and they are former Michigan State forward Jaxon Kohler and former Missouri forward Mark Mitchell. Kohler is a much better rebounder than Mitchell, and that is one area that Kentucky is in need of some help. Kohler is also a better three-point shooter, but Mitchell is the better overall offensive player.
