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!
This is another version of Stokes. Leverage UK to get the best offer and wait until the last minute to make a decision. Milan is forcing UL to come closer to UK’s #…and UL has done that.

Is this dude even good? I mean I get he's obviously a good ball player. But is he good enough to be having this kind of anticipation? Just seems extremely funny the hype people are conjuring up.
Very good player, think Koby Brea type impact (but will come in like Koby finished his career… not exactly similar in style of course). But no, he is not as good as folks on here are making him out to be. Of course he’s not the difference in whether we’re a final 4 contender or not. That’s utter nonsense. He doesn’t automatically make us a good defensive or rebounding team. We would still have major, major question marks. Compare our roster with Mom to teams like UF, Duke or UConn, and there is a big drop in talent/depth. He just happens to be the last of the better portal players available. A lot of fans on here are 13 year olds or very immature and will make him into Michael Jordan (the ones that post messages followed by !!! and evaluate based on YouTube clips). Having said that, he’s significant and a must have at this late stage IMO. I do think he pushes us into the top 25.

Can someone explain why some people think what I posted is negative or “trolling”. I care about this program and feel like these recruits using our rivals to milk us for more money is not worthy of our brand and history as college basketball royalty. That is clearly what is happening in my opinion. Very calculated. Even if it is his agents doing it, he is aware of it. You can disagree but a difference of opinion doesn’t make me a “troll”. We have the highest offer. Commit or move on Milan.

I'll be honest, I think I'm finding myself too caught up in this. I would honestly love to have him, but if he go somewhere else, fine. It means he doesn't want to be here.

I don't want that to diminish how excited I am to see Moreno play for us. He's a guy that could have put his name in the portal too just to get more money out of us. He's also going to go higher in the draft than Mon. Using the portal for more money is something everyone apparently does, but Moreno didn't.

Either way, I'm beyond excited to see what Moreno next year! Hope Mon chooses to play beside him!

I like the roster we have. Momciliovic is not worth this insane amount of money. He seems like a slightly better version of Steve Novak. Stats are eerily similar. Are we OK with letting Pope spend this much money in an attempt to save his job? Because it sure feels like that is what he is doing. Diallo and Wilkins will be studs. Moreno will make a huge leap and I expect Kam to be vastly improved. Just need a couple more guys to be solid role players and we are fine as is
I totally agree

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.

I don't but I think it's a sad indictment we don't already have him. We offered the most money and have the most pt. The decision should've taken 30 seconds.

If he really wanted to be here, he already would be. That means he is looking for reasons to go somewhere else.

I warned that Stokes had plenty of time to commit if he intended to. That's why I knew we weren't getting him. This situation isn't to that point yet, but id wager Tuesday is it: either we have him or we aren't getting him.

I think he is better than Novak, but stats do tell a tale. I still remember Larry Birds CAREER statline, which I think would shock kids who have never seen him play. 30/13/5/2.5. Insanity. Still say he is the best SF ever. I know there is another guy who is more physically gifted, but you let a prime Bird go up against a prime LBJ and Birds team will win the series more often than not

Agree! Larry legend was so multi dimensional. And in his prime before the back issues there is only a handful of players I would take over him

7 million for someone who is not, I repeat not a first round pick is stupid. Popes team will not sink or swim based on what Milan does or doesnt do. How our guards play is muuch more important, how Morenos develops is much more important. Save the money and forget the boy from Ames, Iowa pop. 65000

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

I've never once went to someones page to see how many posts they have lol. What a clown.
The account you're using was created in 2009. Not after 'the change' .

You should check the post counts. Find your fellow trolls. Hang out with like minded people.

This is the world of college sports well live in.
The choice is to live with it or without it.
I'll be happy with Milan if he comes, and if he doesn't..I'll survive. We all will ...

Pope whiffing fatigue. Recruiting is nothing more than unwarranted stress because Pope can’t close anything.
That’s basically what it is. We all know if Calipari was here nobody would be worried about any recruitment and that is the truth. Cal had many issues later in his tenure, but recruiting wasn’t one of them generally if it was a guy who wanted to be here especially.

I have zero Milan fatigue. Kid has done nothing wrong and moved through his recruitment quickly.

Pope needs to close this today and I’m still optimistic he will. This is, make no mistake, the most crucial recruit in Pope’s career and he absolutely cannot afford to miss. Thankfully, I think he lands the plane.

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.

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.
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.
