All I can hope for is if this dude is the type of guy Illinois, and the Florida’s of the world seem to find who turn out great. That said I’ve never heard a lick about him.

I’ve been dying to eat some crow. This is more than an appetizer; dude looks legit.

Let’s keep the momentum going. We’re on to something now…
Still lots of work to do. I’m hoping that we get some of the NBA 2nd rounders to come back to school and come. We definitely need stokes or someone of his caliber like Murrinan, etc…

Oh my friends, now we are cooking. Good job , Pope! This a very good player. I really love this . Again,well done Pope!

bring in Slim Jesus and another shooting guard and center and we are FF team. I could care less for Stokes …. He will be just a cherry on the cake.
Is this sarcasm? Because no way are we close to a FF team yet.

His film is very impressive. The 3 point shooting percentage isn't great but the stroke looks great and a lot of the highlights are of him rising for threes with a defender on him so his percentage could improve with better shot selection.

Totally bipolar fan base. Looking for any bit of good news to hang their hat on
Bipolar? That makes no sense. The same people that have been positive, are still saying positive things.
Do you know what Bipolar means?
And you come across like a complete stick in the mud, all mad because fans are happy. Seek help Mr. Grinch.

Part of my Pope needs to go international idea.

These US kids think he's a dope and play the channels. His dopiness, like Underwood, likely translates better with internationals. Underwood is pulling out water pistols in the locker room. US kids are all about social media and doing the cool thing - and that's not playing for Pope. These kids will just be happy to get some bucks to play a sport, buy into the brand.
The Patterson School of Diplomacy might be a draw ... well-respected internationally. A back-up if NBA plans fall through for bright international students.

I watched video. He is legit. Can he get legal?

Idk. We have bad luck with that Enis stuff. Don't want the drama finding out really.
Umm …are you not aware that the rules have TOTALLY changed since 2011?

The Enes issues no longer exist. They ended the day that paying players became legal. TONS of past Euro pros are playing everywhere in CBB nowadays. That’s no longer a problem.

Big Z was all of that and then some 1/20/24 v. UGA before John Vincent Calipari crushed his spirit like an empty beer can. Don’t tell me somebody accidentally executes a behind-the-back dribble bringing the ball up against SEC defenders and gets three blocks and five boards and three consecutive threes and four more points in sixteen minutes of play by accident.
And the second Z went to Illinois, he played much better. He was a big part of their run through the tournament.
If you're not one of Cal's pre determined favorites, you're shoved aside so the favorites can eat.

I mean, the SEC is gonna be loaded next year. I certainly don’t believe we’ll be better than Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Vanderbilt at the very least.

If I’m giving the most positive outlook, we end up 5th or 6th in the SEC. And even if that happens, I can’t imagine the AD will want CMP to return for a 4th year.

Really good news. Add Stokes or Momcilovic to play the 3 and you have an Elite 8 caliber squad
Stokes AND Momcilovic now.... has been what I was hoping for as a best case scenario. Pope has actuqlly got this old blue hair checking on the boards like the days of The DOOR to see if we could *somehow, impossibly* get BOTH Stokes to come and get that can't recruit moniker off his back, and with Momcilovic, whom I have wanted since last year watching Iowa State.

He would light up Rupp Arena. UK would LOVE him.

Frankly, I'd be giddy and quietly sitting back watching everyone run around like idiots going every direction with it.

Just my .02
