Yeah, we go down with family every year. Last June we walked nearly 50 miles in 5 days. At least that's what my watch and phone claimed. I'll be wearing Sketchers Max Cushioning Glide Steps. They're quite springy.
We only take one actual vacation a year, the rest are to visit family in Ohio. So we splurge a little on this one. I do my level best to eat Disney World.
I hope you all have a good trip

According to a source passed around on X from Jack Pilgrim's friend's work acquaintance, a decision to commit to a Power 4 school may or may not happen on any specific day between now and some date in the future.

Tubby lost the fan base when he failed to secure Chris Duhon, Darius Rice, Omar Cook, Rolando Howell, Luke Ridnour, Imari Sawyer, Marcus Taylor, and Andre Barrett in a very short window of time.

We all knew he was a mid-recruiter after that recruiting season, and outside of the Morris/Rondo/Crawford class, he never really recovered from that stigma.

It will be the same with Pope if he loses this recruitment. The last remnants of his bunker-boy supporters will take their cyandie capsules and it will be over.

I'm over him at this point. Maybe that kid Pope is seeing this week will reclassify, and piss off Momcilovic.
Love how he was so adamant about “it’s not about the money” but clearly his decision will be based financially and it seems as if the holdup is over, you guessed it, the biggest payday. People also gotta realize that it’s gotta be a red flag for a guy that’s a 50% 3 pt shooter to not get draft guarantees, so clearly he’s been told he has to improve other aspects of his game that just weren’t there. Great shooter, not much else to give.

I have stayed away from bashing Coach Pope publicly on the internet out of respect for UK, Pope and UK Basketball in general.

For me, there are still some lines we need in society and using fake names to post on the internet has given the least able to feel mightly.

But this recruitment of this kid after all that with the last one who punked UK, I will not openly bash the coach but this has definitely gotten concerning.
With all this money being floated around and still no commitment? That says what everyone is saying and others are thinking and worried about.

Jesus, I remember that open envelop like it was yesterday and that was chump change compared to what is going on today in college sports.

I feel UK is due some reparations over all this.

Hell, Stevie Wonder can see something is off here. It is almost like the kid is doing everything he can not to commit to UK.

I hope this all works out but count me as one of those who is now extremely worried about the future of UK Basketball.

How in the world did we go from eating first to begging for scraps?

It doesn’t have to be today obviously but my pre conceived idea of Milan’s charecter, that he was no nonsense, got **** done, etc will change and I’m going to force myself not to look this Bull shi t up because it’s a waste of time.
I sound like a little ***** but I really am tired
I understand the frustration which we all share, but I have never heard or seen video of Momcilovic saying he would decide by a certain date. Media folks who get paid to be "insiders" post that, but they have all been wrong across the board on almost every recruit, so why should we believe this kid ever said he was making a decision asap?

Who could have seen that hiring an unqualified coach, because he played here, was a bad idea!?

agreed. even if he lands milan, pope needs to demonstrate he can land higher end talent that is a requirement for the job. if he exits the summer with zero players.....its just impossible to continue to manage a roster like this every year without an influx of talent

I saw that BunnieBitchie was laughing at your comment, but you're spot-on. Takes balls to play schools like this when the NBA didn't even want you.

Why isn't chud trying freedom of speech behind bars? It's the same laws. I don't know why he wants out of jail so bad lol. He'd get stretched out and he knows it. Freedom of speech. Freedom to disrespect people for no reason.

I like ol Chud.
How do you know he isn’t going it in jail? And of course he wants out. Nobody wants to be there. Nobody is stretching him. Atleast not one on one.

I believe JmI does us no favor as it adds another level of red tape but its not "the" reason. Its Pope coming off as an out of touch quirky dude and having no level of success either in his career or getting kids in league - os the main reason. I just keep hearing how its all JMI fault.
I agree but combined we have no shot.

Don’t shoot the messenger… Again, but…

There’s a credible rumor going around folks in the western part of the USA that are in the know, that Momcilovic is either at, or about to visit Arizona.

This is not coming from social media, so please don’t ask for a link, it’s coming from someone(s) who operate in the shadows, which is more than I can say for some UK insiders who are about to be served up some humble pie for jumping the gun!

With that said, I’m not in the prediction business, so I’m not making one… however, I’ve said for a couple of days, it’s a Louisville/ Arizona battle.
He’s going to visit Zona when he didn’t want to take visits at all?

How do I know? 😅. Dudes a cornball. Harrasing people with a pistol on his side? And there's some people that love being in jail. There's real killers and real racist in there. He won't survive behind them walls. He'll have trouble surviving when he hits the streets again unless he goes into hiding.

Your question gives me how do you know Pope isn't the man for the job vibes. Common sense tells me.

Also yes. He'll get stretched one on one. Theres no guns behind them walls. Those big muscles don't mean a thing. Seriously. But I get it. You're the type to like somebody like that so I don't expect you to have much to your ol noggin.

Chud is a dork in real life.Begging folks to bond him out😅 he's celebrated for attempting to murder somebody while people on here give Nate Oats hell...BBN I'm not surprised

Not true. I understand you think facts are attacks. You are just too emotional about Pope to open your eyes.

JMI smacked Matt jones down so he uses every chance to blame them.

No other coach at UK has a problem with JMI. Even Pope has sung their praises.

I know pretty much every major donor. None of them have a problem with JMI

But I’m open to listening. What evidence do you have that that JMI is the bogeyman?
You consider your biased opinions to be facts. They are not. They are mostly uneducated guesses.

I am not the least bit emotional about Pope. I would not advocate firing any coach after two seasons with all the given circumstances regardless of name or their connection to our program. You are the one with all the hatred for him. The other coaches aren't dealing with players who have the same level of opportunity to make their own deals marketing themselves which JMI apparently is interfering with. You do not have enough information to be definitively declaring the JMI impact as none.

Makes sense. He knows our offer and hasn’t committed
