Santos to LSU

[UKortho]

No. He stinks.
But Pope couldn't even get a crappy player that he prioritized enough to fly to the Middle East to see? Instead he chose to go to a perennial conference cellar dweller

I used to like that guy's posts once upon a time. He's turned into bASS.

You love speculation. Come on and give it a try!!! I think you can come up with at least one possible explanation!! I did not even have to put forth any effort. Why do you think he did it?

Beattle bum laughed at this post but he's a non-uk fan troll.

A 23 year old Euro-Pro freshman in college basketball. Such a drastic swing from a few short years ago when we struggle to get Big Z cleared.

The evidence keeps piling up that Pope gets played. You can’t defend him when he continually goes after guys who are already committed to other schools. Just a waste of time.

Pope should have been fired the second the clock hit zero after the Iowa St. game.

This is the answer.

Round-trip flights from Lexington, KY (LEX) to Tel Aviv (TLV) typically cost between $1,300 and $2,100, with prices fluctuating based on demand and season. Budget around $1,100 for one-way, with potential to find lower, "hack" fares, often involving two or more stops, say. September is often cheaper, while summer and holiday seasons are higher

I recently flew Emirates business class to Dubai RT for 3, during holiday (NYC start, 0 stops)-- ballpark of 4k per person. Assuming Pope flew first class or equivalent, the trip would easily cost 10k

The fact pope flew to Israel at all for this “recruit” is grounds alone for termination. Does anyone know if will wade did the same?

Most likely sent him a text message like "Hey, I'll pay you, and I am not Mark Pope. You in?"

 

[20MRoster]

Pope goes to see Santos, RR reaction: We don't want him, he is a scrub

Santos signs with LSU, RR reaction: Can't believe Pope didn't sign this kid, cancel the season

Guilty as charged. I've said before that I would have laughed if we got this guy, but this epic recruiting fail is somehow even funnier. Whiffing on a guy is one thing, how this unfolded is pure comedy.

In his twitter video, Pope said he went to Slovenia and Italy also so it wasn’t just to Israel.

More Lars Legend Nein (been here for ever but was forced to change his screen name in April ‘26 for undisclosed top secret reasons, but trust him, he’s a big fan) stalking and posting more about me than Pope. Good work Number Nein!!!

Who could have guessed his trip included other contacts?

Uh, most people who don’t have cornbread for brains.

He's a troll. Just put him on ignore like I did and you will be much happier.

 

[LarryLegend9]

I was a Larry bird fan growing up and the strange bastard keeps calling me the weirdest names and crap like that because I pointed out how he used to defend Stoops like he does Pope now. Lmao

Anybody with the username like he’s got is a fruitcake. Idc how smart he pretends to be

Does anyone actually ever take your posts seriously?

By the way, Santos is right about Pope. "He is weird", but not as weird as the strange posters who troll this message board.

Like you.

So who did we whiff on in Slovenia and Italy?
