Is the objective to win games? Then no.

And all those guys u referenced on the roster are mercenaries too. They just aren't as good as this guy to command a bunch of cheddar
Exactly. None of the players on this roster are "proud" to wear this jersey. Aside from Malachi Moreno. They're just here because nobody else will pay them as much as Pope is willing to.

🙄 I’ll keep my opinions to myself then. Real friendly group here
It's getting difficult to give anyone the benefit of doubt on here. We have trolls that get banned multiple times a day and keep starting new accounts. I was avoiding going in on you but these guys have legitimate reason to be skeptical.

Noah and Potter are two more examples to quickly prove you wrong. It may be true for some of them but let's not pretend this isn't the case for a lot players across the entire country given the current situation.

Yes, same situation exists for every team. My point is in order to be good, you have to grit your teeth and play the game.

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.
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

I don't understand all the wah wah about him not making the decision yet. The kid isn't doing a damn thing wrong
lol. Yeah, it’s not like this isn’t one of the most important decisions he’s ever going to make. He can use this money to start a great life if he’s smart, and As long as he chooses a team before the start of practice, what does it matter. Saying all that, I sure would love to have him on the wing this season.

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
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.

I've always said top players will not play for Pope they play him to the end to get more money with no intention of committing at the end of the recruitment.Pitino makes a phone call player commits the next day.

Don't read it then. I spent my whole professional career worring about how what I write would look. Retired and on a UK message board not so much.
I didn’t and nobody else did either.

Golf clap for you and little tiny violins. Just saying, if you want to converse, make your post readable. Shocker, I’m aware.

The only trolls I’m seeing, are the ones still believing Pope closes on this guy… Like, it hasn’t happened in 3 years, but it supposed to happen now?

Pope could have had 2-3 more impact players for what Momcilovic is reportedly wanting!

This is why you don’t wait on the last quality player… You will pay a premium for not being prepared!

Who's "we"? 398 posts in 17 years! You ain't a part of any we around here.
I also lost my account during the change. Ive had that many posts in the last year. You're right, the group I'm in actually know a thing or two and would never make a stupid assumption on post count

We are probably in that smokescreen time of the recruitment. Right before the announcement we hear about another team pushing hard. Will we be a hat on the table, yet again?

He pulled out of the draft 4 days ago. We have so many recruiting “experts” with “connections” that tweet and post on this board about it being a done deal. He will announce any second! That leads to the fanbase having excitement and anticipation that it’s going to happen any time. As time passes and no announcement happens anger should not be direct at the player trying decide what’s best for him. It’s not his fault. He at no point has said anything about committing by now.
I think you are correct. These so called "insiders" do more to stir up the fanbase than anyone and are just looking for clicks, I guess. These people are the real problems getting fans excited and then nothing happens or, sometimes, the unexpected happens. These insiders are the real problem.

Anyone else having that? Let’s just roll with the guys who are proud to wear this jersey and forget about the guy trying to milk more money out of us.
