Well pretty much what folks figured. Bit of a troll move with the UK blue paper and white ribbon.
The only troll move was hiring Pope in the first place.

Mitch has been trolling us since the night they hired Cult Outlook Mark.

I’m legitimately starting to dislike the man. Why did he waste time coming back only to screw up the portal and recruitment.
That's on Pope.

He can't read a room and his optimism is cult-level. No surprise. He comes from a faith tradition that teach that Jesus and Satan are brothers.

$7 million dollar offer.

Help from Nike.

A roster completely orchestrated around one player.

And the loser Mark Pope still can't close.

Put the for sale signs up in his yard.
If he gets Momcilovic this will be a great class. I don't want that egomaniac here anyway. Take your nba cards and video game covers to KU

"If" is all you and your last bunker boys have left.

The red army is on the eastern horizon and rapidly approaching. The Pope experiment just officially ended.

It's over.

He doesn’t look like a Kentucky player and will have to be THE star. So at Kansas he can drive Self crazy because he will be calling the shots.I knew he would never come here so it’s no let down for me. It was all a play talking about Kentucky, he knew he would get the publicity. It’s hot dog time in Kansas.

But the guy who went all in to bring him to Lexington should be respected?


That's rich.
Why don't just start making up crap that wasn't said? Why would you not go all in with the number one HS recruit when he keeps you high on his list to the very end? Many of our own "fans" constantly crapping on our coach is not helping anything.

People in here saying he’s dragged this out and you didnt want him because he has to be the star. Just stop. Y’all wanted him here. We all did. He’s good. If he picked Kentucky you’d all be elated.

Look dumb***, I didn't want to hire Pope in the first place and said to fire him once the season ended. What I am not going to do is sit around and cry all season last year or already roll up the white flag on this season in April like you are. You can whine and cry all you like, but the fact remains that we are one good SF away from having a good basketball team and there are a lot of really good kids out there still. So go back to your mommies apron and have a good cry, I don't care a bit about your doom and gloom

I wish you were right on this.

But no matter who we get or how good he is Pope can’t coach him.

He’s going to run zoom because it’s the easiest offense to teach and players want to play it. He’s not going to play defense or even attempt to play defense.

A Pope team is not going to rebound. Or learn to rebound.

If the players just ignore Pope and start cooking on their own he will sub them out.

He has absolutely no game feel. He will win some games sometimes when he shouldn’t because when he doesn’t know what he’s doing the opponents can’t figure it out either.

I can't argue any of that
