The losses didn't get Clyde fired, the parents did.
Matt Jones says Stokes could announce today or tomorrow

I know right, I was even hating myself back then for how angry I was at Cal.
Nor did the competition.

Let's of anti Billy G stuff here. Mark Pope is 100% worse than Billy G. Billy actually upgraded the talent roster and made things fun with his humorous off court antics and bounced in two years
Pope sucks and he's boring! Plus with our administration he will stick around another 4-5 years.

Ah yes, I'll correct that the next time I have to post all that.
The SEC was so bad those years, if the league was anywhere near as tough as it was the last 2 years, BCG would have lost 20 games each year.
Yeah, but it's not even a comparison, it's not close.
I hate we are at this point. I’ve given so many excuses for pope in the past because I like him as a person but I like the program more than any coach. This is Kentucky basketball we gotta get back to being a top program in the country.
Yeah but being the second worse basketball coach in UK history doesn't say much.
He's not Oregon Bound,It's Kentucky or Kansas
That's because we have had some damn good coaches here too.
Pope is batting .500 so far, I give him a B for year 1 and an F for year 2.
BCG gets an F for year 1 and a Z for year 2.
Pope has year 3 to prove himself and he's on the clock right now.
I'm just patiently waiting to see what he does, but I will probably lose my sh*t the first time he loses a game next year.
I'm trying as hard as I can to be positive, because the alternative isn't fun.
So #1 in NIL should warrant a 9th place finish in the SEC?
Pope is better than BCG, but that's not saying much. Both have been horrific.
Billy G having a worse record than Pope is an indictment on Billy. The SEC was practically a midmajor conference during his tenure.
Or he sees we have no talent and will be able to do just about anything he wants for 40 minutes. With or without Tyran this season is going to be ugly.
I'm glad tho that someone is at least acknowledging the fact about the SEC.
Because both things are true here.
Pope is not recruiting at a level to where he can sustain any success here.
That being said, the last two years of the SEC, we've seen this league be the best in D1. A year ago, it was even historically good. This is light years from 08-09.
It doesn't excuse Pope's inability to bring in anyone of note. But the discussion at least needs to be had here. Oats, Golden, Barnes even.........these schools aren't going away anytime soon.

No. PP was never going to play for Tubby. BCG worked his *** off to get PP here. Tubby tried to get him to go to Minnesota too.
If it was about Tubby he would have gone there.
Jordan was a BCG recruit too. He offered to follow BCG to Lexington. BCG said that wasn’t right.
BCG had a record of building programs. He had built 2 from nothing.
He was a hot hire. Arkansas thought they had hired him.
Barney didn’t do his job checking the off court stuff.
But Mitch also says he wanted to hire Cal then and Todd said no.
Todd backs that story.
You never once saw a BCG team quit. Pope’s teams quit with regularity
LMAO, Crawford was strongly considering transferring to Michigan State mid season. That sounds like quitting to me.
Also, your comment makes it so much worse for BCG too. Pope had a team that didn't like each other, had serious injuries and as you said, quit and that team STILL finished better than BCG's best team by a mile, while playing a schedule that was ranked 62 spots higher.
So, it’ a “Pope is a creeper” problem?
I mean, it’s one or the other… Or, maybe it’s both!
Either way, or no way at all, he’s not getting the players to complete his “assignment”. His words, not mine.
Guys it’s Kansas and always has been. You’re thinking way too hard about this.
I remember Ramel Bradly doing an interview about 10 years ago, he said him and Joe were sitting in Joe's car, waiting to go into practice, where they onew they were going to run until they puked. They seriously tjought about driving away and quitting.
That team lost 7 games at home, one of them was to Gardner Webb and apparently, they lost all those games without quitting. Tells me the coach sucked.

He was hilariously in over his head. I'm quite sure he definitely enjoyed the perks of the job

can't miss my man. Good prognosticationMy sources say next Tuesday if you ate hamburgers and it rained in Jersey. Im sticking with it. I Feel good about the source
Wednesday (today) if you did not eat those hamburgers and it was a clear sunny day in Jersey.
THURSDAY , if you believe Matt Jones. I don't know why you would do that. My info is solid my friends.
Today or Tuesday possibly Wednesday or maybe Thursday not much past Friday but commitment could land in Saturday or Sunday. If that all fails I'm hopeful for Monday but I'm pretty solid about my source as I said.

I'm going to be right here.
Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assuming I’m recruitin’
But I’m fumin’, blueprint zoomin’, still the class ain’t improvin’
Got the software glowin’, charts say “top-five movement”
But the phones stay quiet, man, who we really foolin’?
Mark Pope on the sideline, pitch game kinda flat though
Talking culture, talking vision, but they ghost him like a shadow
Got a spreadsheet thicker than a playbook full of combos
But the five-stars vanish like they dipped into a black hole
Blueprint loaded, data-coded, every metric say we golden
But the commits ain’t showin’, fans already feelin’ frozen
Keagan Brown the GM, yeah, he workin’ overtime
But the bag ain’t landin’, always missin’ by a dime
Whiff God, yeah you swingin’ but you never make contact
Big boards, long lists, still you comin’ up flat
Every visit look clean, every tweet say “locked”
Then it flip last minute—yeah, the timeline get rocked
Tyran Stokes, yeah, the crown jewel moment
Thought it was sealed, had the whole crowd zoned in
Edit made, jersey mocked, headline pre-written
Then he dipped somewhere else—man, the whole thing was missin’.
Whiff God
Just don't get your hopes up. I haven't heard UK has the lead for Stokes since the early Fall. Stranger things has happened in recruiting but I am not getting my hopes up.
This is off topic but BCG lost to Vandy by 40 and they nearly double us up in the process. That was an absolute quit/laydown.
And convinced Patterson to come, and Liggins right?
Pilgrim is bound to get one commitment right his life sometime right? Right?

I think he was hoping the length of time going back to those two BCG years would prevent anyone from fact checking, but those two teams gave up quite often.
I have no idea what you said, but we should at least be in the Final Four conversation every year, or most years anyway.
No matter where he goes, the first sign of turmoil or trouble and he will sit out the rest of the year.
It’s ironic that the guy who won’t even drink caffeine is going to do more harm to Kentucky than the drunk did ever did.
total BS. Those guys couldn't wait for the season to end. They lost to Georgia on Senior night at home back when Senior Night meant something.
I get that people are mad at Pope but talking up Gillispie is just desperate
