Its clear as day Pope was never the guy, and this recruiting season of him struggling to get guys is very concerning.

Mitch should pay a 2mil penalty for hiring Pope to begin with.

When do we get a new AD?

If he does go back to BYU, loosing Wright as a lock back to BYU should tell you all you need to know about Pope and this administration.

They grabbed Chandler and effectively wasted our time during the biggest recruiting time-crunch of all time.

If I'm Pope, I am pleading for more money to throw at the kid, because I really believe losing him would be the breaking point for the Administration and would seal Pope's fate as UK coach.
Even if he did this, it wouldn’t matter. No donor is going to give him extra money to land a player knowing that A) the kid will still say no, and B) even IF he said yes, Pope would sub him out with us up 4 and wouldn’t put him back in until we were down 15.

I wanted Pope to be the guy. He’s not the guy.

Swing and miss. No one wants to coach or play here- pathetic. I guess only way to get players is hire their dads as assistants

Meanwhile, down I-64 at the place some ignorant fans want to call, “Little Brother”, cough cough, Kelsey is putting together a team of dudes who are going to strut into Rupp next season, and hand UK its worst home loss in a few decades 😩

Awesome times! But, at least we gave Pope his oh so precious 3rd season 😂 Let’s all get together and give each participating trophy High Fives for our extended grace!👋🏻

Damn, lay off me. I’m not a Pope guy, lol, I didn’t want him back this season.

Js tho, there are 4 recruits I’m following. There are constant rumors. But no commits yet. I’m not going scorched earth until the commits start coming. I don’t blame anyone else for doing so

but don’t mistake me for Monday Nitro or one of those goofballs

Certainly looks like this will be the final nail in Pope's coffin as UK coach. I think he'll get the Colgate guard because we pay him more than anyone else will, maybe Diallo as our "star" piece if no other big boy comes close to our offer. So a backcourt no better than what it was this past season to go along with whatever leftover big men we have a chance with.

I'm resigned to the fact that next season is a loss. I'll still watch from home and hope maybe we hit on some diamonds in the rough and it's not as bad as it could be, but I'm just not seeing the vision. I'm with those that say let's moneyball this entire thing on out at this point and save the cash for the new coach to have more to work with come next March.

Call me arrogant but if you would of told me years ago we would lose recruits to BYU in basketball I would say you were smoking crack. I guess I'm the one holding the glass pipe.

And rumor was Stokes liked the idea of playing with Wright. This could be a double whammy. Lose Wright and lose Stokes.

The portal has been full of adversity but the challenge is what can become beautiful. On the other side of this we can truly identify ourselves, and again that's a vulnerable thing but massively insightful and beautiful. ---CMP

Can we be done with citing rumors as fact though?
People on this board keep getting burned. We are easily the easiest fanbase to troll.
