So to be clear we had an assistant coach commit a recruiting violation in a tweet for a guy we didn’t get. Signed Zoom Diallo who played for a year with Stokes, tried to hire his high school coach and hired Mo Williams to be an assistant and STILL couldn’t get Stokes. If that doesn’t sum Pope up I don’t know what does

I wonder if we could have gotten Stokes if this was a year ago when Pope had much more support. But the rumors that NIL money is being pulled, combined with Stokes being a "must-get" for Pope's job being on the line.. and we still cant just outright buy ourselves the first big recruit in 3 years.. really says something.

Like others have said, dead man walking.

Good job Mark. Priority for two years, from Kentucky, and can’t get it done. And to top it all off, you use McBride as a consolation. That’s just a terrible look, and I feel bad for McBride. This whole recruitment is and was a joke. Kid never was coming here, not even Nike could get a kid to commit to Mark. And that Mo tweet has to be questioned. What the **** is going on down on Euclid? Jesus Mark.
Just shows how far over his head he is here. Just fire him please. He can’t do this and gives 10 new examples why every time a big recruitment happens. Portal or HS.

There are definitely red flags with Stokes, but investing that much time and effort to get him and then coming up empty handed again is just further proof that Pope isn't the guy for this job. We just can't get our first choice with Pope. Always stuck with leftovers.

Pope went all in for 2 years. Terrible. Missed out on recruits because the staff was so confident.

Now that Mo Williams tweet looks stupid and embarrassing
Yall thought it was Kentucky that got top talent and not Cal. LOL

Cooper Flagg is allowed to do this. Anthony Davis is allowed to do this. Not this guy. I’m no hater, but he genuinely doesn’t seem worth the immense hype. He’s definitely a great prospect, but the announcement only proved how immature he is. He doesn’t seem coachable whatsoever. Talent loss but not team chemistry…what little next year’s team would have to begin with.
