I’m as negative as anyone but I think he’s coming. Something that I’ve been considering though, is it the best for UK if he comes? Even with him we aren’t a title contender but he probably would be good enough to get Pope a season good enough to save his job for another season. That’s the worst part about this.

Can’t help but think this is Stokes all over again. If he Milan was going to UK it would have happened. Seems to buying time increase amount from other program or holding out for something other than UK
What is it with line beards and the 6th post?

100%. Absolute worst case scenario would be a lucky S16 from another 2 seed having their AA injured or something after yet another up and down mediocre season.

Still when it comes down to it, I'd rather win as many games as possible to stay afloat vs Kansas. Just have to hope the new AD does the right thing and doesn't reward / promote mediocrity

Do "new" members ever make any thing other than negative posts? I assume this is another sock for one of the regular negative whiners. 6 total post and they all lean negative.

My mom’s meatloaf is delicious. I understand why he does it.

I can’t get with the “aww man, we might win too much to get rid of the coach” stuff. I’m weirdly protective about that idea. A true fan should always want more wins IMO no matter what. The coaching/administration stuff will take care of itself over time.

Until then, I’ll take every win I can get.

Here are my thoughts, if that scenairio plays out. Even if that happens, I hope he gets sent to the unemployment line if he has not signed two or three 5 star highschool recruits. This would be 3 years in a row showing the world that elite highschool players don't want to play for him.

I think it is less important that he is here for title hopes and more important that Pope shows he can sign someone that is in the top 100 players available without hiring daddy.

Sadly you're almost as awful
Being disgusted by constant bashing is not "slirping".
I'll wait here while you find me complementing Pope.
I'm just tired of reading absolute trash based on nothing but speculation.
You are a different kind of trash. You have nothing basketball related to offer. You are here to make trouble. What a bore

He’s trolling guys. It’s the same guy. If it says redshirt, it’s the lonely dude eating meatloaf in his mom's basement. Baiting everyone to respond
Off topic but quick question I’m hoping someone can help me out with. How do you go from freshmen to redshirt to junior? Is it based off time or posts? I’m on here everyday but don’t comment much. Thanks in advance.

Folks have whifflash, but I just hope they figure something out and can close this deal out. A roster with Momcilovic is going to be better than what we'll have without him. You can take that to the bank.

If it turns out that we are being trolled again, this would be difficult to recover from. We've tied up tons of resources and missed out on other options. I don't think there's a ton left, but good talent evaluators can find under the radar guys.

The fact that that's where we are now is pretty tough to take.

If it does turn out that we were being trolled, Pope might just walk after the season's over, and I wouldn't want that to happen, but that's where we're going with how ugly social media is getting and how these kids just seem (in my eyes) more and more self-centered as the years go by. Being trolled again would also clown the University of Kentucky basketball program, terrible look. Future players with no desire to play for UK would jump at the opportunity to tease staff and taunt fans. It's ugly.

If you’re getting hurt by a kid you don’t know about their college decision, you really need to reflect internally. Everyone take a deep breath. There’s so much more to life. Appreciate it.

Exactly, i remember when we missed on Caleb Wilson and i had to take a step back and i stress a lot less about this stuff because there's nothing we can do
