If Matt Jones said water was wet, I'd have to stick my hand in a puddle to check.
Matt Jones says Stokes could announce today or tomorrow

- Start date
Stokes isn’t coming, he was laughing and clowning just at just the mention of UK last night. And for all those that want a big name replacement, they aren’t coming either. Pope can’t get players that are highly sought after by other programs.
UK doesn't. The staff doesn't. They aren't allowed to comment publicly about recruits, so they don't. It's been like this for 30+yrs.
All of the hand-wringing and the rest of the drama is self-inflicted because fans freak out over rumors.
If he ditches us (and he will) because of what BigBlue1992 said on a message board, he never liked us anyway.
Prolific Prep coach just posted a GIF that people believe is related to Stokes making a decision and it has an Adidas logo in upper left corner. Think it’s over — he’s going to Kansas
With all the drama, negative social media, some ignorant fans, Pope missing out on what seams easy targets, along with last years performance does he really want to come here? Even with a hefty bag?
Just commit to Kansas already. Maybe CMP will take the hint and realize next year will be a disaster and leave.
Of course he is. Has been all along. Bill been laughing his *** off for months.
I don’t know how Nike executives justifiy paying this kid millions to represent Nike.
Yes, I thought about this too and that was our first McDA in several years. One that we desperately needed
I would end the contract but they want his pro earnings
That's not an Adidas logo. That's a slice of pie, everybody knows that.
What 99% of people don't know is, blueberry pie, is heavily sought after by real wildcats in the wild, so it's obvious Stokes will be attending K ansas State.
Both of them have a career high of S16. What exactly makes Pope better? BCG recruited Patterson, Liggins, and Meeks if I'm not mistaken?
Yea BCG sucked at UK. His S16 was elsewhere. But his recruits still played a large role in Calipari's initial success. It's not looking like Pope will have any such gifts to leave the next coach.
so based on Matt’s track record all we know for certain is that there is a zero percent chance he commits to anyone today or tomorrow. Check back Friday.
Tubby recruited Meeks. Billy recruited Darius Miller and Orton, a top 10 ranked recruit.
Do you think Cals last couple of seasons was best UK standards good? But maybe you are making fun of pope for saying the same thing. I can’t tell.
I’ll add, Tubby recruited Patterson. BCG was the coach when he signed but Tubby is who got him to Lexington. IMHO
We're going miss on a guy who's strung us along for over a year with no intention of coming here, then get locker'd by Mick f'in Cronin on the Tounde Yessoufou pivot. Embarrassing.
If pope quits now, he will leave the next coach, a John wall, Eric Bledsoe type backcourt
So why does CMP think he’s got a chance with these guys? Is he on the spectrum or something and can’t understand people?
The arbiter of truth, Jack Pilgrim. I feel so much betterJack Pilgrim says the GIF is not related to Stokes
and here it comes.
when the official Stokes announcement drops, be wise to just avoid this place for the remaining week
If you want to hear embarrassing, go listen to the sleeper's video today discussing the CJ Rosser recruitment.
Why would I avoid this place over a commitment one way or the other?
I can’t wait till this is over with Stokes. Imagine how these coaches feel lolJack Pilgrim says the GIF is not related to Stokes
Prolific prep is an adidas school
Billy G got him. He did a thorough in home visit detailing his entire schedule and development plan at UK which impressed him. When Jai Lucas committed to Florida on that Black Monday when UK lost Bea Hamga to UNLV, and Sanchez to John Pelpehey and Arkansas, Billy texted Patterson and said be a leader not a follower as it was expected Jai Lucas and Patterson would both go to Florida.
Gotcha, saw that after I posted lol
My guess is Oregon which got in just hours ago. Same happened with St Johns when it was supposed to be Alabama or UK. Have to wonder if Stokes was going to KU and Nike stepped in when he said he did not want to play for Ky due to concern about Pope. And then Nike offered up tons of Nike NIL money to keep him closely tied to the Nike brand.
I don’t care if he comes or not, but if he goes to Kansas he should have to pay back Nike a tremendous amount of money. I’m sure he signed stuff when he connected with Nike in the first place.
That is actually pretty good. Better than last year.
A European stretch 4.
I wasn't telling you to, I was reminding myself to.
