Are y'all in favor of sending him out to troll UL like Stokes did to us?

PS: FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!!
I am not in favor of duplicating or in any matter emulating the behavior of Stokes: We have been here before- act like it.

The #1 thing I really admired about the way Nick Saban coached, was how his players conducted themselves: They were Alabama, and you were not. Not a lot of finger pointing, outlandish celebrations after each tackle or reception, very little taunting on field or in the media. Their fans are not mouthy on social media (comparatively speaking) - every fan base has "those" fans.

We are Kentucky: We celebrate National Championships. Wake me up to pound my chest when we win #9. GBB!

Pope would probably give up his left nut just to not whiff on this mom guy. Larry Bird loading.

If he comes to UK then shuts Stokes down that will be funny AF when we play Kansas. I'm hoping a guy like him as a senior is basically a all star at this point.
He might outscore Stokes but he won't shut him down. Lack of Defense is one of the things that kept him out of the NBA.

You’d think if UK had made the impression needed to land Mom, a “weekend to decide” doesn’t bode well for our chances. The deal should’ve been wrapped up days ago.
That sure would be nice wouldn’t it. Tounde decides to return to college at almost midnight and is already signed to St. John’s. That’s what real programs do now. Same with Blackwell and Duke although they were pretty much set before he made his decision to return.

If it's a done deal why hasn't he announced
It was said from the beginning that Sunday was the deadline. As early as last night, but 3-4 days max. I just hope we wrap it up today. The longer I goes with us supposedly leading and at the end without a commit… the more worried I become. This is the roadblock for every single top recruit we have missed on. This very point in the recruitment.

Honestly, no. I just want him announced for us ASAP. The anticipation is killing me and I can’t help but keep worrying something happens and he doesn’t wind up at Kentucky.

We have 800,000 insiders and analysts saying it’s Kentucky, but I feel like we have been living in a recurring nightmare of “done deals” that end up in other uniforms. Just be a 🐱

Mom isn't shutting down a cone. Need pope's first year offense back too. He's not a put the ball in his hands ISO scorer like Oweh was. Mom would not have been good in last year offense.

Is Momi better than Derek Willis ?
Outside both being white-ish guys, similar height and being above average shooters.....is there a comparison between the two?

WIllis best year was 18 mpg, 7 pts a game, 48%FG and 44%3pt...and an anemic 4 boards a game...while playing with Ullis/Jamal Murray were the focus point of the offense.

Momcilovic worst scoring season in 10 pts a game....his last season was 17pts a game. He shot 49%3pt all while being the top offensive threat (maybe Jefferson was near him as team leader). Also,Momcivolic can put it on deck and has secondary moves off his jumper.

So, I get WIllis worked from being not playable to a solid contributer his last 2 years at UK....but he's not in the same class of offensive fire power as Momcivolic.

Who cares? This is probably not true, any more than about 85 percent of the click bait from desperate "content creators" but if it is, I could not care less.

In fact, Kentucky should advertise it, like St. John's does when their Billionaire Booster buys Tounde Yessoufou or Kansas does after paying more than than for a freshman who looks suspiciously ordinary at times in all-star games. Get the word out that Kentucky won't be out-spent.

$8-$9 million for a fringe 1st- 2nd rounder? After Pope passed on MULTIPLE elite players (lottery/ 1st rounders) the past couple of years alone?

Yeah, I was born in the daytime, but it wasn’t yesterday-time!

This sounds like damage control and hyperbole, to make it appear Pope was all in before Milan takes “less money” to play somewhere else his heart is in the moment!🙄
