How did we do better?
Wilkins from Furman is a future hall of famer, don't you know

Diallo is just as good as Wright. We didn't want a ***** who signs a contract not to have sex anyway!

N'Dyiaye is oozing potential (even though hes 23 years old and most likely is what he is at this point).

Kepnang is a GROWN *** MAN, almost eligible to collect Social Security. DAT EXPERIENCE BRO.

Ellis was their 11th and Zhang was their 12th commit. They only had one player from last years' team return. Just filling their Hawthorne and Noah spots.

We have very similar teams:

Diallo - Shelstad
Wilkins - Montgomery
K Williams - Knox
Ndiaye - Ekezie
Moreno - Bidunga

Kepnang - Dynes
McBride - Folguieras
Morton - Wooley
Hawthorne - Zhang
M Williams - Johnson
Noah - Ellis

And we have Potter and Z Hawthorne also.
All their players are overrated. All of ours are underrated.

I see a 38-2 type season with this bunch. UL with that group of bums is looking at reverting back to the Payne years (4-28 and 8-24 is their ceiling). Bidunga? Overrated. Shelsted? Overrated. Folgeurias? Overrated. Knox? Overrated.

U6 fans need to sit out any discussion about cheating by other schools.

How can a midget with more tatts than an English soccer hooligan get more players than UK?

They are going to be indebted for years to come. No way they have that much NIL.
Probably, I don’t know a thing about their money situation. lol. They’re trying everything they can to win basketball games this year is all I know. We’ll see if it kills their program like a couple people believe, but I very much doubt it and I’d have to believe it can only help.

If by some miracle they win a ACC championship, and then make a final four, does anyone believe the money wouldn’t flow in to try to replicate that success on the court. It certainly would here!

Personally, Id be happy if they didn’t win 10 more games the rest of their entire history, but I’d rather Kentucky take a more aggressive approach as well and go after the best of the best players. I’m not saying Louisville has done that, but they are taking their shot!

Stopped reading at "Momcilovic would not move the needle very much". Might as well have said "Since we all know the Earth is not round"
He’s a good player and would be a great addition to a well rounded team but that is not what we have. Here he would not be expected to be an important addition but a major piece and that’s not the type of player he is. We have already seen how players under pope perform outside of their role. I stand by my evaluation.

I just disagree. Pope gets murdered over recruiting, "D2 rosters".....and his coaching.
Both of his first two teams were also wracked with injuries....and he went to the 2nd round and S16 with "subpar rosters" missing a couple of starters. IMO, you can have it one way or the other. He either brings in good talent or he is a good coach

How many roster spots does Louisville have? Seems they've landed a player every day for the last two weeks.

Don’t think anyone has ever said much bad about team 1. The injuries did hurt them as far as their ceiling was concerned. Team 2 I’m not sure was any good fully healthy. I think the injuries helped curtail the lineups a bit but even still pope was out of control with them. We barely made the tournament, and if not for the three comeback wins (lsu and TN X2) we probably don’t make it at all. The fact we did and it took a miracle shot to force OT and win round 1 is nothing to hang your hat on. Pope has been anything but impressive in putting together team 3. Major target and after major target has gone elsewhere. Pope went all in on stokes (a terrible decision for more than one reason). He seems desperate, clueless, lost, and delusional all wrapped up in one. I’ve grown to dislike him very quickly and I was one of the few who actually thought his hiring was great and he would do well here. Boy was I ******* wrong.

Who believes that it will kill their program? Rainmaker? He's a clown. He said they blew all their $$$ on their first 2 signees then they proceeded to sign about 4 more. Like I said he's a sunshine pumping Pope nut hugger. Nothing more
