LOL, so I'm a racist now! 2funny. Eddie isn't the one that ran out the side door after bilking the program for every penny he could.
Another Hawthorne on the roster
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Many years ago on the old board during the Cal years, there was a guy (forget who, what season, etc) who made a post saying "every time Brad Calipari takes the floor, it's an embarrassment to the program".
At the time, the post was heavily mocked. But fast forward to now, I understand what that guy was trying to say. Maybe it was even one of you. But yeah. This program is in dark times.

Yeah, I’m guessing he was sure he was getting Freeman. Maybe not getting him ends up to be a blessing. Hopefully Hawthorne becomes a stud, Stokes comes, and Pope gets and unexpected surprise dude. Probably won’t happen, but I’m going to not be miserable about it, because that just doesn’t do any good.
Fueger didn't even boom tweet. No one knew lol
Saul Smith would be behind all our roster - He would never have been starting PG at Huntington Prep nor 12th ranked player in W VA. Wichita St offered him a scholarship so he’s no slouch.
?.? The new rules say 15 scholarships - might as well use them.
I would like to see Noah Redshirt this year.
Bring in the 7-5 Ky kid from USC.
Let’s have some fun next year & hope for the best.
That’s one of the wild things about Kentucky basketball. A coach can lose games, struggle recruiting and some will still like them no matter what. I can remember some fans throwing fits when BCG was fired.
Instead of a BOOM!!! we got a BAZINGA!!!
Probably 2015 and that was a unique situation. It generally just doesn’t happen.
Exactly. And one of the complaints on Pope is him not cutting down his rotation to 7-8 guys but now we complaining about the 11-12th guys
this forum is gold
Saul Smith wasn’t that bad, he just wasn’t starter material or enough to push away the AA that wanted to sign except they knew Tubby wouldn’t send him to the bench. He’s better than a lot of the roster as it stands.
How Pope has any defenders or believers honestly shocks me.
I think they’re trolls! Gotta be trolls!
I'm no kind of "ette" . I'm just a realist. We need 15 players. This guy is a better 15 than a walkon. Pope isn't going anywhere until after next season. Crybabies and trolls won't change that. I'm hoping for the best. If next year sucks we'll be coach shopping. Until then this place is side splitting funny. Know nothings and prognosticators are a hoot!
That’s should be the new meme of the year. Every signing or player that visits gets a Bazinga.
Lmao so we can't be upset about the 10-13 players on the roster? What kind of mind control is Pope putting on some of you. He is sucking at every aspect of his job and some of you still on your knees in these threads for him. WAKE UP
I want a new coach but im not gonna complain just to complain. Some of yall look silly as ****.
Good old Tom Hammond. Miss that guy. I bet he had nightmares of calling the Olympics with OJ the Murderer.
Look in the mirror. I'm complaining about the roster, not just complaining for no reason.
You complaining about the end of the bench dude….players that aren’t going to have meaningful minutes …you do realize that right?? What’s the point of complaining about that??
complain about everything, happy about nothing! Same group that call Rancik a crap player then bitched that he went somewhere else. so much misery on this board.
A top 35 player out of HS with a year of growth and practices with college players. And his brother, who's better than a walkon.
Do you really believe that’s enough to compete this day and age?
Nolan Richardson - Arkansas- 40 minutes of HELL
Ky - the platoon years
MANY PITINO TEAMS INCLUDING POPE‘s years.
I believe role players and practice players are important. None of us know what Braden brings to the table. I hope it's good.

Yeah I really miss JP Sports that was like the golden age. All games were available via OTA antenna.

Why did we have to sign his brother in order to keep Hawthorne??
What media confirmed that? And who cares his brother is on the end of the bench. Why not?
Some don't believe you're only as strong as your weakest link.You care to much about this board it looks like. I’ve seen you for days complaining about people complaining lol
This is what it takes to keep a dude that was 40# too light to play last yr. You gotta take his no talent brother. I swear to god man. Just read that slowly. That’s. What. It. Took. To. Keep. Freaking. Braden. Freaking. Hawthorne.
Why in the world would you want to welcome a player that isn’t worthy of playing at UK to the program? Like honestly. What’s the point? To prove you’re somehow better than those that gripe and complain? Let me clue you in on something, YOU should be groping and complaining too. It’s that bad.
Odds are that player would’ve been better than a 160# redshirt.
