Matt Jones says Stokes could announce today or tomorrow
- Thread starter Anon1730326584
- Start date
I’ve said this for years. He throws a lot of stuff out, but, honestly, he doesn’t know anything more than some bum on a street corner.
It’s coming, and it’s gonna be a beautiful, really spectacular commitment, just incredible. It’s gonna be a commitment like you’ve never seen before. Or at least that’s what Pope told me
I think you’re correct. Most of the attacks on Tubby were mostly basketball related (plow/mule offense, ball line defense, can’t get 5 stars, etc.) and usually started with “I know he’s a good man, but ….”
Wait, what???
"considering" = quitting?
The fact that he STAYED means he quit?
Your twisted logic, man.
Perhaps Jones meant tomorrow as in tomorrow as oppsoed to tomorrow
Don't forget Mark Coury.
Well we can each argue about that from multiple angles but they both sucked and I had never hoped to feel like that again towards our program and here we are.
Of course it’s coming soon. The season will be here soon. Between now and the last day to start classes is all we know for sure. But I’m thinking within a week or two.
I honestly think all the criticism of Pope's recruiting here is seriously overblown. He put together a solid roster last minute the first season. Last years recruiting despite all the hindsight complaints was lauded by almost all of the independent pundits with some even suggesting we were too loaded with not enough balls to go around. I'm not saying I agreed with all that but it was said. This year has been a bit rough but it is not yet settled.Well we can each argue about that from multiple angles but they both sucked and I had never hoped to feel like that again towards our program and here we are.
If Cal had honored all of BCG's commits for their full eligibility we would have been saddled with several guys not capable of competing at this level. Fortunately Cal was able to immediately recruit over them.

My bad... I was directing that towards the Cal jock sniffers on here, but re-reading it definitely looks like it's towards you.
Well said... I could even get behind Cal arguing that by being "player's first" he was playing the long game to continuously ensure he'd have the best talent at his school. But he lost sight of the fact that the objective was to win National Titles. He seemed to be more interested in stacking one and done top draft picks as opposed to being successful for the school that's paying him. It was insane.
I was waiting for it.... And if I didn't see it I was posting it
The fact people are debating who was the worst coach in UK history is enough to agree they both suck.
What goal post did I move? Feel free to quote me to prove your point.Goalpost officially moved.
The last several years has revealed that. KSRs beat sources used to be matt running over to HOB to see what Justin was talking about.
You were arguing or rather piggybacked on the argument that Pope was worse than BCG and that Pope's teams quit and BCG's never did. When he proved that was fallacy you switched to they both suck.

You are mistaken. Tubby recruited Meeks and he played his freshman season for Tubby.
It's gonna be YUUUUGGGEEEEIt’s coming, and it’s gonna be a beautiful, really spectacular commitment, just incredible. It’s gonna be a commitment like you’ve never seen before. Or at least that’s what Pope told me
His class before he was fired was awful, I say that was more due to his personal drunkenness rather than inability to recruit at the time. He was offering 8th graders instead of players who developed into legit prospects before college.
I’m fairly confident Stokes camp puts out false information because he loves the attention. He is the type of player with a huge ego and wants to be larger than life. That can go either way for his career, you harness it properly and you are a star, you don’t and you flame out. I still believe he makes a decision this week.
I mean coming out of the 1st rd of the NFL draft- so many think they know, and then reality can show us we didnt know shish the entire time.
There was a time when he did put out some very good information. He was on top of the Marshall Moses debacle and the AJ Stewart mess. Having said that, I haven't seen KSR get much of anything right in a long, long time. I wish that they had the connections they once had but they simply don't. So they seem to be guessing at everything or trusting bad sources.
Another post from the Ashtray that accomplishes nothing. Am I surprised? No, no I am not.
I am taking a "the jury is still out" approach to Pope.
He showed great promise in year 1, year 2 was a failure and for many reasons, some of which, were out of Pope's control.
For me and many others, he gets year 3 to show us what he actually is. I'm just being patient.
He's obviously a better stewart to the program than BCG ever even wanted to be, but he has his work cut out for him.
So far, I'm not impressed by the recruiting in a do or die scenario, but that can flip in a day. I'm hoping Pope can save it, because the alternative sucks.
