Stokes to Kansas

[OldSmoky]

6 MILLION GAURANTEED. HELL ILL GO WHERE THAT MONEY IS ALSO.

 

[Cliffhanger82]

Stokes is a turd. He really is.

Remember reading early on we were after a player that lost interest thinking he would have to play with Stokes - not much of a team guy I guess

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Dude that announcement was so CRINGE.
THANK God he did not come here. No chance Pope could have controlled him, he is a DRAMA QUEEN!

I agree with everything except your 2nd sentence

 

[NociHTTP]

Is Mo Williams a drunk?

He took a job with Pope. You may be on to something.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

Program is on life support

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Where’s the pope-pumpers!

Convincing themselves that McBride is better than what we had last year and that Stokes doesn’t matter. We pivot to the next savior that we can whiff on.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Kansas gets Stokes we get a McBride what the **** has this world come too. Can we send Pope on his way tonight!

 

[UKCowboys]

Good

 

[true-blue1]

Pope has to go! Why bring him back for year 3??

 

[TheBlueCat]

Pope whiffing left and right and our new assistant is tweeting at recruits an hour before he pick a different school. This program has become a joke.

 

[Beamin Steamin]

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

It was always Cal

 

[Farsight Clone]

I never did find out what he tweeted...

He commented directly on Stoke's post saying "Lets Gooo"

 

[ComebackCats98]

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

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I hope we beat their *** & the rug doctor loses his tupee at the end of the game

Yeah! Now we get to see Stokes dunk on us in the top early season games!

 

[BlueSince92]

 

[kywildcat1021979]

The good news is we get to play him in about 6 months.

That sounds like about a 50 point beatdown for Pope and his dopes!

 

[Farsight Clone]

It was always Cal

what

 

[LineSkiCat14]

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.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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.

 

[UKCowboys]

The good news is we get to play him in about 6 months.

He will score 24 on 8 for 28 shooting

 

[Cats4321]

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.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Will also be fun to cheer Mo Williams getting the boot next year, too. What a dunce.

 

[mrjuk lostinspace]

This kid is nothing but drama.

I said a few days ago that I didn’t dig his vibe. Whatever, let KU have all the drama with a kid who claims he doesn’t like the spotlight…

 

[BleedBlue_22]

I’m Pope’s biggest critic, but this is a blessing in disguise. Stokes is a drama queen. Bad locker room guy.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Pope is one of the worst recruiters I've ever seen

 

[WiseSerpent]

Is Mo Williams a drunk?

Would advise Mo to rent and not buy.

 

[Resignmarkpope]

Now we can play basketball!!!!!!

All my focus will be on football! Pope fatigue

 

[Beamin Steamin]

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

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

I’m Pope’s biggest critic, but this is a blessing in disguise. Stokes is a drama queen. Bad locker room guy.

So who are we getting better? Have fun losing 14 games.

 

[KyKevin]

Now I won't have to hear about that ******* clown anymore. Stokes is a clown.

But a rich fkn clown for sure.

 

[RevRupp88]

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.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Yall thought it was Kentucky that got top talent and not Cal. LOL

Go back to your corn fields.

Our coach is the clown.

 

[NineBannersSoon]

Now I won't have to hear about that ******* clown anymore. Stokes is a clown.

I think you misspelled Pope.

 

[peterpiper09]

We may get another top notch player now. On the other hand, Kansas has no money left, and I don’t know if they even have enough players to field a team.

That all-time wins gap should start getting wider now

 

[blueblood2767]

glad he went - Kid is going to be a cancer.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Gut was right.

On to the next. Probably not good for Pope’s future.

"Probably?"

Today was his Gettysburg Pickett's Charge.

It's over. Pope's high water mark was the Sweet Sixteen in year one.

It's over.

He's finished.

 

[Macys Socks]

I have been saying that I heard Kansas was the pick weeks ago. I'm not surprised.

Do you want a cookie?

 

[GACatsFan7]

Bye!
