Every expert says it’s Kansas

Not trying to be a debbie downer. But just prepare yourselves, folks.
I mean, it's been known for a while. Some of you all are the only people who thought he was coming to UK
Yeah only the tards that are still supporting Pope think otherwise.
I've been around long enough. Usually when everyone is in the consensus that's prob where he's heading.
I have become numb with all the misses, and this one will be no different.
Oh well, we're getting pretty used to this by now. Preparing myself for a very bad season ahead.
Now go get the 4 best Blue Collar players left in Portal & win 25+ games in 2027 & 28+ games in 2028. Look for guys who will stay 2 years with new 5 in 5 rulings.

That would be the ultimate middle finger to Nike. A company who I’m sure has given a lot of money to this kid. If nothing else, it should change the way contracts are drawn up.
That's the worst part of our fanbase. Those who don't agree with your opinion on the head coach are "tards".
I can't even comprehend your level of idiocy enough to post a retort.
Been fully prepared it would ultimately be ku for months now (although Pope has not been). Only hope is that Stokes bucks the trend of the experts. Seems to be the kind of kid that zigs when others think he is going to zag.
Jamie Shaw's "prediction" is 60-40 and Branham hasn't made a prediction as of 3 p.m. He just tweeted a few minutes ago to confirm that.
I've already mentally prepared myself that it's Kansas but not because of the "experts." Just feels like Pope screwed it up somehow.

Real talk…if he does pick Kansas then I’m not sure how pope can convince anyone that this season has any chance at being successful.
Good news is UK will have a new coach after next year!
Or he wants everyone to think it's Kansas, then shock them by picking UK.
I fell off the Popemobile several months ago. With that being said, I have a weird feeling that Stokes signs with Kentucky.
i honestly don't know why, other than I simply can't believe things could really get any worse.

I wasn't kidding when I said it. If he can't get Stokes, he might as well drive out of town tonight.
I personally think we have been blessed and lucky the past 15 years getting used to landing 85% of the recruits we were after. That has officially worn off with the new regime. It's hard to let go of the hope. lol. Small part thinks it's still a possiblity.
The reality is he's going to Kansas. Has been for awhile. Used UK to get more $$ from Kansas. What stings is we might have offered the biggest bag from a Nike school and he chooses an Adidas school. Times have changed and it only get's different from this point forward.

Agreed...
PG...very good with Zoom...but he's no NBA guys
SG....solid but young with Wilkins...and he's making a jump to higher level...so there will be an adjustment curve
SF.....Kam....he's a solid piece...but he's better served off bench vs. starting...which is where Stokes would take a spot and Kam would be depth
PF....intriguing but a very raw N'Dyia.....he looks thin, plays around 3pt line. I think he'll give rim protection and stretch the floor....but he's goign to struggle with physicality.
C....Moreno. Good C. But he's got to take a leap to be the star Center this frontline will need. And I see him as more of a Dakari Johnson impact in 2027.....not a KAT/Cousins impact we need
No bench to speak of as of today.
If Pope whiffs on Stokes....he'll throw some money at forward and maybe a guard. But that lineup ain't going to be dominate unless N'Dyia is the Giannis-ish....which he will not be.
No surprise here. It would be more surprising if Pope could actually land him. Pope was a lazy hire by Barnhart. I used to watch every game religiously; I have not watched a full regular season game in 2 years. Barny let the program slip way to much under Cal and then compounded that with the Pope hire. The next AD has a real task on their hands to make the right hire in about 9 months., hopefully they are already reaching out.
NIKE is not worried about a HS kid playing for Kansas.
Nike has most of the major Pro leagues of the WORLD under contract.
Stokes is a flea on an elephants a$$ to NIKE.
This reminds me of the Julius Randle recruitment where everyone thought he was going to Kansas and then he committed to Kentucky.
Pope will get at least 3 more players who really want play for BBN.
I want to play for BBN, doesn't make me good.
lol. Every……..Single……..Thread
I don't think they know. Its just no one thinks he would choose Pope because no one does. I still think we have a chance.
I see one expert. Care to share the picks of all the rest since “Every” expert is saying it?
I don’t doubt he picks KU, but talking in hyperbolic absolutes gets on my last nerve.

Or Patrick Patterson when everyone thought he was going to Florida as a package with Jai Lucas and chose UK.
According to the expert picks, Stokes picking Kentucky would be the equivalent of Trump winning over Clinton.
I like Kentucky's chances, considering everything

He's still a Kentucky kid. He knows what it means to play here. Plus it's hard to beat the benefit of staying close to home so your friends and family can come watch you play.
