BYU's Mark Pope is reportedly on the verge of landing one of the most high-profile jobs in all of college sports.
According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, Kentucky is "set to hire" BYU's Mark Pope as the school's next men's basketball coach.
Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports previously reported the Wildcats were "closing in" on hiring Pope.
The Wildcats job was open because John Calipari shockingly left to take over as the head coach of Arkansas in early April. It was the biggest domino in a chain of events that saw Andy Enfield leave USC for SMU, Eric Musselman leave Arkansas for USC and Calipari take over the Razorbacks opening.
