I’m skeptical if Pope can land one of them, let alone two of their caliber.
Dink Pate to Providence

I mean, maybe? Guess we’ll see next week. If it ends up like last year you have to very seriously consider that CMP is just that bad at relating to college kids
He’ll be a damn rockstar and we all know it. Should’ve been a cat alone with Byrd and Stokes already moving to Lexington. This is bullbutter.
I don’t think people understand Pope had 2 full seasons to recruit guys for this upcoming high school class and he managed to get one 4* prospect who we hired his Dad. That has to be a tad concerning even for the biggest pumpers.
Providence made the biggest splash when they hired their new Head Coach. Great recruiter & plays the Bama - Florida type offense = 3 pt shots or Layups. Saw a pod cast with him saying every player he had talked to wanted at least $1 million to transfer.
Providence is going all in to compete for the Big East
I'm gonna guess & say both Pope & Hart found out something about the eligibility thing & backed off. Maybe it was just bad timing of finding out after spending all that time recruiting him? It would really suck to get a commitment from Pate & it scares off another top PG, then when the season rolls around, he's ineligible.
I never was a fan of recruiting a G League player.
He’s a pro with all the potential to be an All American to be honest. I 100% wanted this kid here.
People have been hinting about this, but I need to see it to believe it.
Idk why but I can't stop staring at this
I’m glad for him. He had a tough up bringing as a child and he persevered.
Don’t forget that most of the Big East schools have no football programs that get most of the monies from the House settlement
Brian Hodgson. He was a long-time assistant to Nate Oats going back to his first staff at Buffalo and went with him to Alabama. He didn’t move into head coaching until 2023, but he’s quickly gotten results, winning his conference regular season at Arkansas State two years ago and both the regular season and conference tournament at South Florida this year before taking the Providence job. We’ll see how he does there, but at only 38 years old, he seems like he legitimately has a chance to be a rising star in the coaching world right now.
Add him to the list of good candidates that our athletic department has never heard of.
And, here people were convinced UK would lose out to SMU and Hart. People who said they never wanted Pate now acting like this is some harbinger and great misfortune. I think when the dominoes start to fall, they will fall fast. There is a lot of ride left. Buckle up.
We’re just hoping that Pate and Byrd just weren’t the right fit for us and they didn’t spurn us for someone else. Feels like we’re desperate looking for any excuse to not say that we lost these two guys that the coaching staff probably really wanted.
He’s the BEST at the stretch 4 but shouldn’t be over paid him and GRAVES ARE IT
I’m not sold on Pate but Myles I am
At least we are on pace to win the "Zoom Meeting National Championship". Hang the banner!
Lots of beautiful and meaningful conversations. Best wishes to all these amateur student-athletes.
