Wait n see if jmi is not to blame
No other school bringing kids in and still waiting
We are bringing them in to discuss details and they don't want it
Just wait

I guess it could be JMI pulling some nonsensical bait and switch tactics, but it sure feels like Pope just does not recruit well.

This will be the last straw.. if we have another "thanks but no thanks" recruiting cycle, then id prefer someone to be terminated immediately.. whether thats some dumbass within JMI mucking this up, or Pope being a weirdo on campus visits.. Someone HAS to go.

Absolutely embarrassing whats going on.

They've been talking to pope for 2 weeks. Why would they be 100% uk , while talking with pope
Then switch once they're hear
It ain't just pope
That makes no sense

The competition is way more intense than it was in past years. When Ky has to compete against U Miami , Texas & Providence for players , you know the Duke’s of the world are getting the great ones. Kentucky will be OK but it is stressful waiting for 18 to 23 yr olds to make up their minds.

Talented Players who have an opportunity to go Pro will not come to UK no matter how much they pay. Pope will not get these kids to the next level, so they come here just as bargaining chip. Just being real. Pope is here for at least 2 more years and 20 wins and .500 ball in SEC Play. Going to be painful. Pope is too nice and players can't take him seriously.

I’d kill for Miami’s coach right now. Our recruiting would be back to where it was under Cal and with a guy with much more energy.
