After being turned down by multiple top-tier candidates, Kentucky is targeting one of its own, BYU's Mark Pope, as the school's next men's basketball coach, sources told ESPN.
A deal is expected to come together in the near future, sources said.
Pope, a 1996 Kentucky graduate who played two seasons and won a national title there, has taken BYU to two NCAA tournaments in his five years there, including a 23-11 record with smooth transition to the Big 12 this year.
