He had a "No Contact Tag" which means he or his agent reached out to us. Not sure that means anything, but it's better than the other way around where Pope calling his new crush in the middle of the night hoping to land a prom date.
Is that the scenario for this case on the tag? I looked up what that meant and it could also be placed for guys focused on the draft process before coming back, if they do.

This isn't a normal situation though, he entered focusing on the draft with a Do Not Contact Tag. It's not a quick Zoom right after the portal opened to gauge interest. This is a month later and literally no other school has talked with him. It is way more telling in this situation IMO that the interest is real and I'm sure it is based off $$$. I knew we had talked to his agent last week and made an offer and were trying to get him to visit Campus. This is a big win in his recruitment as previously I knew we were 3rd down the line in his mind. Now I'd be almost certain we picked up steam for him to speak with us first.
I guess we will see, still not confident.

The more you post the more I’m convinced that you and Monday Nitro are the same person. No way in this world that we have two fans that are both equally that dumb and dull.

Every time you post and I read it, your post makes me nauseous. Do us all a favor and keep your thoughts to yourself. Post less peckerwood.

PS nobody finds any of your boomer AI pictures funny. We are all glad that you finally learned how to use AI but it’s played out.

Thanks pawpaw.
lol saying nothing that whole post, you are ignorant when you want to be a Kentucky fan without really being one. our strength of schedule last two years have been harder than any years under cal, Pitino, Billy g or tubby fact one. you bandwagon fans wanted freeman but we got ousmane and McBride who are better than just freeman you still wanna *****. we got a guy like wilkins and missed out on guys like harris who played for losing teams
you're argument is invalid because you are named after a eastbound and down character and you have been banned numerous times because you get off to negativity
I am many things, a troll I am not.
if you aren't what do you have to add, to conversation except pope won't get him, whiff etc
it's so boring when it devolves into that on here. "go cheer for IU hurr durr" like only a troll would have the gall to insult the great Mark Pope? it's a ridiculous argument on its face
aren't you the same person as oliver simmons dude. herd mentality example.

Well, you're his BFF, right? Get the scoop. Just send him a text and ask him what he's doing. Meet him for lunch or something.
I’ll entertain you though I know you are a troll too, I’m definitely not his BFF but I do work with him off and on. He is a great kid and all business. I made my pitch for him to go to Kentucky already last month and that’s why I said it was my understanding we were 3rd on the list. Seeing this makes me happy though because I knew we had spoke to his agent but now to him directly is the next step. That’s one step closer at this point to making it a reality.

He’s a fringe first rounder right now. In what universe is it impossible to improve his draft stock? You being too quick to be a smart aleck made you look silly.
Zero chance He's lottery. Name one thing besides shooting that he dies at an elite level and that an NBA team would use a lottery pick on. Is he an elite athlete? Defender?

You’d be better off having a conversation with someone at the local special school. Trying to converse with him is impossible. He might be the dumbest person I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading on the internet.
okay bugs or is it 20m roster. you are a little baby who cries when people don't agree with them. you act your IQ which is in the low single digits. what do you know about basketball or Kentucky basketball. how many good teams were in the sec years prior compared to last two, how many good teams did we play in the pre season, how much did other teams spend on their roster and the results, did freshmen win it all last year? you are too stupid to answer any of the following questions and you have 20 plus names on here

There were a lot of good teams. Last year, for instance, we finished 9th in the conference. Your thoughts on that?

I have posted overall more negatively for the past few months, most posters have, but I will be right back in the game threads cheering on the team we have assembled when the season begins. I was a believer in Pope when he was hired and tried hyping him lol

I think number 2 and the fact he took the Zoom is telling. He entered with a Do Not Contact Tag and the schools originally rumored to be in front have complete rosters already. This is a good sign for us, not to mention the fact there has been no reporting about any other school talking with him up to this point. Give Milan the bag he wants and seal this deal up sooner than later.
That last statement is exactly how this needs to happen.

Negotiations should be happening now, with a commitment if he is not a 1st round pick to follow after the combine.

Do not drag this out/slow play this.

spelling police. we had 10 sec teams make it. the 4th place team and the 10th place team was only separated by one game genius. look how many sec teams got in tourney this year compared to years before and strength of schedule and get back to me. when cal started sucking sec got better too. coincidence I think not 1000001220.png

Between the "whiff" posts, the "you must be Pope's wife" posts, and the sexual innuendo for those outside the hive, this place does lack creativity.
The lame, unoriginality isn’t confined to one side. You can’t make any sort of criticism without a contingent of hall monitors labeling you as a troll or a perpetually negative jerk who MUST live a miserable existence. Or, “you just hate the coach”.

There’s a whole gaggle of posters here who are obsessed with other ppls’ posts & never even talk basketball. They just go on crusades in search of any comment they see as negative & don’t actually address the subject at all, only other posters’ opinions.

They twist themselves into pretzels defending the indefensible & will even downplay our amazing history in an effort to prop up the failing coach of the moment. “Actually…we haven’t always had great players or consistently been a contender since the 40s.” I have seen that exact bs spewed here. We even had ppl on here defending the freaking Shaedon Sharpe situation.

We used to take GREAT pride in being the all time wins leader. But, suddenly, once KU passed us, total wins are irrelevant to a certain segment. Winning percentage is all that matters, now. Constantly lowering the standards while lashing out at anyone who isn’t satisfied.

Those fans are the real embarrassment of this base. Far more cringe than anyone saying “whiff” after a coach goes 0-infinity in landing elite players.

Ask fans of the Yankees, Steelers, Celtics, Lakers, etc, about their expectations. Elite franchises & their fans don’t tolerate regression or failure. Their boards are no different than this one. Go root for the Browns or Vanderbilt if you don’t want the burden of excellence weighing you down.

Case in point. Nobody believes a guy who genuinely believes that Pope is better than Cal. Pope sucks just like your posts.

You’re so triggered that you can’t even put together a proper sentence and you make yourself sound so illiterate that nobody can take you seriously. Your posts are so bad that one would be better off trying to comprehend Chinese rocket science.

You should calm down and take a breath before you have a stroke papaw.

it just sounds like people are whiffing paint. in a day of age everyone has an opinion it's annoying.

zoom instead of wright
wilkins instead of harris
ousmane McBride over freeman
.
missed out on Stokes but honestly I dunno how he will turn out. need a sf/pf hybrid and back up center. lots of teams have specific needs right now, not just us.

everyone will have questions because each team is new. player a might have been great on team a but sucks on team b. we also have guys like Hawthorne, Kam, ousmane who could give us more than expected.
Everyone will have questions, except maybe Florida, it just comes down to coaching. UConn, Michigan, Houston and Duke have already proven that their coaches know how to make it work. Tennessee, Illinois, Alabama, Iowa St and Arizona have been pretty consistent doing it as well. Texas , St Johns and Vandy get more from less with their teams. Last year was a disaster for Pope, but his year 1 roster was a title team when healthy. You wouldn't have to squint to hard to see how this team with Milan could be good.

Offseason darlings Louisville's rosters does not impress me, especially for a system built on guards that can shoot. And Arkansas has 2 major issues, coaching and interior size.

If he comes, you have to think the plan is to slide Kam to the 4 with Hawthorne as the back up 3. Domino effect would have McBride in a back up PF roll and N'diaye as the back up center. A Zoom/Wilkins/Milan/Kam/Moreno is pretty on offense, possibly a disaster on defense. But a bench of Hawthorne, N'daiye, McBride, Morton and M Williams is solid. Spot minutes for Noah.

The roster doesn't have a lot of bulk, but would be long with a good mix of shooting/driving.
Think you need a defensive minded/rebounder type back up center to MM.

It was even worse under Cal. I wanted him fired after the Evansville loss. I would get crushed for saying it but I was right

you told on yourself. I never said pope was better than cal. you are a reject, who idolizes an east bound and down character. you know little to anything about Kentucky basketball. your IQ and your age are showing im only 38 kid. how good was strength of schedule in cal years?

I wish Pope would offer him enough money to pull out of the combine and sign this weekend. Just seems like the longer it goes, the more time he'll have to screw it up. Or for other teams to have donors kick in more money. He'd be the missing piece for a lot of teams.

people who use whiff are like 30 year olds who use bro. Getting more negativity out there. pretty pathetic. We have 12 players. Some going to be on bench some unknowns Ousmane and Hawthorne but this would be a big get. Heard mentality by bandwagon fans.
Not 30 or remotely close and not sure I’ve used whiff but what term is acceptable for you when not landing a target. As you may or may not recall we have missed every single top target we have gone after, two years in a row now.

I mean you can be critical, but if 90 percent of your post are negative though, why torture yourself?Yeah last year we were bad but was our schedule harder than it usually was? did we have injuries that could have helped us any? Pope did mismanage the roster. The lowe and jq thing was bad. Was substitution patterns bad? Yeah lack of good players and giving players time that didn't deserve it. If we are worried about wins we gotta play easier schedule and Pope don't have a good history with freshmen.
