They will be able to shoot and they will play for the name on the front of the jersey. He just needs a Mashburn to take us to a higher level early on.
He is the anti Cal.
He is the anti Cal.
I think fans are going to love Pope's teams

That NIT next season will be amazing.
Well we got a guy who really wants to be here. Sincere well spoken smart and enthusiastic. That’s a great start.
We are not sniffing nit.
Yeah, the CBI will suck. But at least they’ll play for the candy stri- I mean Kentucky on the jersey.
Can’t wait for 1-2 stars and Mormon transfers.
Yeah I will take that over wins.Can't wait until the 30 point Duke loss.
You will find yourself cheering harder for a team of players that don't spend the last two months worried about their draft positioning.
Rex Chapman and Seth Davis are excited so that should tell you all you need to know.
Yeah but they’ll play for the name on the jersey.
But he's got a winning record in the CBI with a 5-4 record on four appearances. He has an NIT quarterfinals appearance, and is 0-2 in NCAA Tournament play so basically exactly like Pitino and Calipari when they came here.
Don’t forget he played here 30 years ago! Am I in a nightmare? Did I die and go to hell?
Is a first round exit really any different? And that is if Cal would've made the tournament. We were heading for a disaster of a season regardless. The wheels were falling off. Cal wasn't even prepping his teams or even teaching defense anymore. What top level coach does that? I'll take anything over that mess.
Let’s be honest Mormon players are not going to transfer from BYU to UK. That’s not something we have to worry about.
Some of you are either in denial or haven't fully grasped how bad things are about to get for this program.
Stop trying to talk folks into it. He doesn’t have a staff or a roster. He may bring in a bunch of bums we don’t know. The only thing out of this that is evident more than ever Mitch Barnhart needs to be fired. The fans through our boosters run the program. The last unilateral decision was Bcg. If he wants to die on that hill so be it.
So you will take another poor coach as long as it's not Cal?We really are Indiana.
Yep, a guy from Washington transferred and spent two years at Kentucky and we haven't seen that guy in 30 years as he was always this goofy Mormon guy and of course he becomes the coach of BYU, and our genius AD thought that Mark Pope was definitely the beloved son Kentucky wants to call back home.
And you think that should land him a head coach at UK.If this guy had played anywhere else you would have called it a bad hire.
We are so ******. I think he lasts 1 or 2 years. We could legit win 4 games next season. Like Kenny Payne.
Mormons won't come here just like some of the hard core Christians wouldn't have left Baylor to follow Drew.
They can't. They refuse to come to terms with it. It's a level of a fanatacism that does not allow reality to ever get in the way of blind hope.
We just had a coaching search that ended in hiring Mark Pope. A guy who wouldn't be on any Kentucky fan's top 30 list. A guy who has no success to speak of. We thought Billy was bad? This guy is going to kill this program off.
Kenny Payne had never coached before. He'll he got into a fight with one of his players.
And he’s part of the Calipari coaching tree which is proven to be awful
How much worse can it get than what we were already experiencing including a 9-16 season just 4 years ago? Not even our probation years were that bad.
Not even Kenny Payne can be that bad at Kentucky but Cal can.
You havn't read the board. He already failed as UK coach. I wanted to give a couple games but it seems
like I'm just crazy.
Oh my God some of you need to chill out. We're out of the rinse-lather-repeat cycle from hell that Cal had us in. We got a guy motivated to bring us back and boosters motivated to help him. You all sound like that character with the big round head in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Well someone might have their head stuck somewhere but it's not who you think.
Idk man, seems like some of our fans wanted Cal out more than they wanted a good successor. I wanted Cal gone years ago, but only if we had a successor lined up. Mark Pope is not.
