Got to change chemistry. Not sure Oweh doesn’t have other things going on. Don’t want to accuse anybody, but his FTs and repeated dribble off feet last night make a person go hmmmm. Garrison is finished as far as I’m concerned. Play Jelavic, get Hawthorne rolling and let’s see what we have. People want to see something change, and this gives some new possibilities.

He’s hurt too and doesn’t even play. The S&C program or lack thereof, is really pathetic. Our guys last night besides Oweh didn’t look like they had ever lifted a weight. And MM kept checking himself out. I don’t think he wanted any part of Cyril.

I don't get the redshirt thing. The start of the season we looked stacked and could see why they wanted to do that initially. Wish it was like football and they could play a certain # of games and still maintain the rs.

Has anybody checked to make sure Garrison isn’t Mormon?
Actually not Mormon, he’s he’s got a son at a young age. So that coupled with probably discussing Mormonry with him in hopes he too sees the light, I’d almost bet you the kid angle has a lot to do with the constant special treatment and NIL bag.

Pope’s first order of business was hiring his buddy who was nearly out of work. He’s had a player on mission trips, Garrison and his son, I don’t have any evidence but to me it looks like Mark is setting up to make decisions on things other than winning basketball games.

Lowe
Garrison
Yela

Mark Fox

These guys aren’t good enough to coach and play at UK.

I’ve seen anorexic type players wear teams out. Not saying he would, just saying we need something different then Garrison wasting available minutes.

Pope has done nothing we wanted him to do.

We wanted him to sign Wilson, and he didn't.
We wanted him to get Wilkerson, and he failed.
We thought he was after Stokes, but UK missed there, too.
Pope's not bringing Hawthorne off redshirt. Its' too logical, and Pope doesn't follow logic.

The kid was sold the idea of taking a paid redshirt and still having 4 more years of NIL potential.

He’s not throwing away a year of potentially life changing money to help UK as a reserve for 5 games.

Blame Pope for it. Don’t blame Hawthorne for doing what’s best for him.

burning a redshirt at this point of the season would be criminal,,,, stop

He’s physically not ready 😂 Would struggle against middle schoolers at his weight…

He’s essentially useless in D1 this season!
