Will we punt on the 27' class?

Mark Pope has stated he wants to get all 20/20 of the top players to visit.
Oh to answer your question, yeah probably.

2027 class doesn’t have a “tyran stokes” that’ll take our entire attention
You don't see that as even more of a problem? A staff so dumb that they supposedly spent all their efforts recruiting one guy that wasn't a sure thing.
Hopefully Billy D, G, or Jai lucas will have us a class in 2027
lol. We? pope will. The next UK coach most certainly won’t.
If Pope gets a 4th year, we will whiff on the kick, appear to recover the ball, only for it to be stripped and returned for a TD.
I doubt that will matter. I’m sure will be on the top 3 of multiple players only to run into the exact same problems.
Like Charlie brown when Lucy pulls the ball away
I think it depends on how Pope does this season. If he’s mediocre again by mid season no shot any recruit comes here until we fire him and get a new coach. He’s already the butt of all jokes in the recruiting world.
I think we get two, I just don’t know if they’ll be top 50 or not. We need to add Rondo, Crawford and John Wall to this staff now. Hell I’ll take Cousins for the big men as well while we’re at it.
. Kinda joking ! Seriously though, I would call and make Prince an offer to be the GM I think. He seems like a great fit and Id think the money would be very competitive.I predict Kentucky will continue to be mediocre at best and for the recruiting to be just as bad. I really hope these last couple years have shown that the great recruiting we had was entirely because of Calipari. I remember there being an argument when he left if the recruiting was the coach or the school. At this point we can hopefully all agree that it was entirely Calipari.
Besides maybe John Wooden, who had Sam Gilbert buying all the best players at the time for UCLA, Cal is the greatest recruiter of all time in College Basketball. I’m 10,000% not saying Cal is the most honest recruiter either, but he can sure get about anyone he wants.
Pope doesn’t have to be the greatest to ever do it, but he does have to get some great players to come here or time is going to run out. He’s been given a chance of a lifetime and I’m pulling for him, but results are what matters, and so far he hasn’t shown he can recruit at this level.
Not only was he not a sure thing but he was a longshot who fooled only our coach into getting strung along till the end.
Missing him was the least of the problems. The big problem is Pope not being able to tell he was completely getting played.
