LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Keeneland had a busy weekend of horse racing as its spring meet continues, and Kentucky men's basketball coach Mark Pope used it to entertain some recruits.

Pope capped off the visit by leading a horse to the Winner's Circle. And he was joined at the track by potential transfer Lamar Wilkerson, a former Sam Houston guard.

Wilkerson averaged 20.5 points per game last season, setting the school's single season record for three-pointers made with 109.
