I knew you would be determined to turn this into a bad thing, regardless of what happens. Only a dumbass like you would think getting the best three-point shooter in the nation is a no situation.
I’m just realistic.

The best three point shooter may get us as high as 5th in the SEC and as far as the **** 16 for MMM(Mid Major Mark)

We went from CCC to MMM.

I think people get way too confident in believing what they WANT to believe. If a Twitter account with Kentucky or BBN tweets people take it as gospel. Today it was he has told the coaching staffs of his decision only for Matt Jones to say the opposite. Yesterday it was a done a deal just waiting to announce. The longer this goes on the less optimistic I feel

To some extent, there’s an element of these things in any system, but without a “set play”, the need for proficiency in each of those categories is amplified in the continuity offense Pope uses.

This is why not everyone can run it. When it’s run correctly, it is extremely difficult to defend against.
I guess his teams rarely run it correctly then? The "video game offense" BYU team got eliminated by Duquesne.

I mean, you aren’t wrong. Pope has to actually show something. What a quagmire right? Results need to be proven to keep a job. I remember back in the day.

Watching this UK baseball collapse while keeping up with the Milan recruitment that (predictably) looks like it's turning into another stumble across the finish line is like getting two kicks to the nuts for the price of one today. The current UK administration can't get out of here fast enough.

The really sad part is we DESPERATELY need him and he doesn't even make us elite, just Sweet Sixteen level (and that's if we get the right draw).

2025 was a top 10 offense in KenPom, kind of insane considering the roster situation and the injury problems.

2026 was abysmal.

I think the difference in 2025 and 2026 can be summed up by having the right personnel for your offense versus trying to just make it work.

Defense is a different story.
Now do the defense. You know i love you bro but your view behind them glasses might be a bit blue.

But I thought it was trending on X? X never lies! Announcement incoming??

Still think we get him but talk about taking a piece of good news (someone picking him to UK) and just running with it as if it's done.

We’re at the point where if he does come it’s only because we’ve offered way too much money because that’s what it took to get him. And it it takes that much and it’s the only reason he chose us I okay either way if he does or if he doesn’t. If he doesn’t we saved a huge over pay IMO

Maybe I'm crazy, but I tend to believe a guy who runs a successful KSR over random anonymous X sources who could very easily just be a 20 year old with a fake account. But that's the world we live in now. That's not an endorsement of KSR in any way, but I believe them as a source over some of these fake insiders.

Again, its basically June. He knows what each roster is and theres no one else after him. Hes taking every offer and seeing which schools can counter it.

It almost feels like the winner will actually be the loser. Out $8 million for one player. I didnt even think a guy like AJ Dybantsa or Peterson was worth this much.

History shows us under this coach players don’t trust either the system or coach… money isn’t the problem
Been saying that for 2 seasons. First the Popettes blamed JMI.

Then they just blamed NIL as a whole.

We may very well get this guy?

But it won’t matter. We don’t have a coach.

If we don't get him it's a "whiff" , if we do get him we overpaid. Who didn't see this troll coming?

Absolutely no idea what MM will do, but some of the folks posting on RRs are more dramatic than a room full of 13-year old girls fresh off their first break up.

Stating facts isn't blue.

I wasn't talking about the defense. Scroll up to what I replied to.

If you care to know, the defense was bad --- that's obvious. No one would reasonably argue otherwise.

What the hell any of this has to do with discussing the fit for 5-out zoom offense in Mark Pope's system, I'll not know.

I like you too, Dudah but I'm pretty serious about staying on topic. And I never shy away from my opinions. They're never secret or hidden. Pope's defense has not been good enough at Kentucky. It was close to passable last year, but abysmal in year one.
I don’t need to scroll up. I saw you talking about the offense. That’s why I said now do the defense. If we can’t play defense, especially in the SEC. We will suck, like we have the last 2 seasons.

I’m not playing mind tricks my bud. Just saying.
