I’ve got a better chance to recruit this stud to my Rec League, than Pope has beating the other suitors out for him!

Where are we at now? Like, 0-39 on high school 5 stars? Dude has whiffed on more talent in 3 years, than Calipari has put in the league his entire career!

I know they have to write about it, but there's really no reason for articles to be written about UK basketball recruiting top high school players.

Can't out-pay BYU. Can't out blue-blood UNC w/ Pope at the helm. Can't out-Kentucky Louisville.

We have nothing to sell. Nothing. Really gotta get a real coach, a real AD, a real university administration, etc etc etc.

Yes, I would rather fire Pope right now, have Malachi Moreno player-coach the team, and work on rebuilding the foundation of the program, which is rotten to its core.

UL recovered just fine from Kenny Payne. Sometimes you need pain to enact real change.

I would argue I am more of a Kentucky fan than you, because I have standards for the program, whereas you are happy with mediocrity. Thankfully, you and your kind are not in the majority, whether on these boards or across the globe.

Let’s hire Malachi Moreno as the new AD while we’re at it

Malachi was a reference to a previous post I made in another thread saying if Malachi wants to come back but is on the fence because he would rather get away from Pope, then get rid of Pope and pay Malachi the salary.

But honestly, there's nothing on this coaching staff. Nothing. Mark Fox? Mo Williams? That guy is a certified idiot with his Stokes tweet and then the one about being loaded. So maybe Malachi player-coaching isn't so far fetched.

He is more of a fan than you since he doesn’t want us stuck in purgatory for forever. We are literally a laughing stock right now.

With surrender posts like this how can we not be?
Oh that he's more of a fan because he wants Pope fired crap! The bottom line he is our coach here now and he's getting players here and now and they're the ones that's gonna be playing this season so get on board or just go away till you hopefully get exactly what you want. The same bitching about it and bashing the coaching player incessantly every day make you a better fan is the most delusional ******** I've ever heard..

Shaw dropping this story professionally only for it to immediately devolve is fitting.

No way Rosser leaves the state of North Carolina, right?

I don’t know what cowboy said not sure why you are quoting me. A real fan expects Kentucky to be Kentucky. Cry me a river.

You apparently are a fossil. lol @ go away. The day you make me is the day I’ll go away. How about them apples?

Just like there's no reason for some of y'all to comment about it cause you can't say the same **** every time
Do you feel confident at all in the possibility that UK will land any of these guys? Given the current state of the program, what makes you think that you will somehow find optimism on this board?

Exactly...instead of spewing hate on the program, just go the Hell away and come back when we have a reincarnated Coach Cal pulling #1 recruiting classes

Yeah I wasn’t a fan. Not real familiar with Texas. How far from Houston are you? The roads/highways were nuts.

Oh damn. Texas is so damn big lol. That’s cool man. I apologize for beefing with ya. We all Cat fans in the end I reckon.

And from what I remember, isn’t Houston kinda central and to the south? I remember wanting to visit Austin because I didn’t think it was too far but never did. I did visit A&M though

Yeah, I was being a bit of a jerk too, so I apologize man you do seem pretty cool. Texas is humongous. I am 2 1/2 hours from A&M and I'm gonna try to see the next ball game that's at A&M. I have to see who we play the week of Christmas. I have not been on a cat game since college that was longer than I'd like to remember😂

No need to apologize bro. You are a well known poster and I was out of line. I’ll take the blame for it bud. Thank you though.

I got a place you can stay in Lexington if you ever come. Can’t help on tickets unfortunately. Used to be able to. Last UK game I attended was I believe Cals last at Rupp when we beat Arkansas of all people.

I reallt want to catch a football game since I haven’t been in forever and want to check out the upgrades done to the stadium.

My daughter lives in Saint Matthew so it's a quick drive to Lexington pop over for a bite and talk about the cats I think that would be cool. I'll drop my wife off shopping.😂Yeah I went to uk from 79 to 81 before I joined the army and I was having the time of my life. We were horrible under Fran Curci back then in football but avoided we have a good time during the games.!
