I'm starting to get a little "Thunder and Lightning for a New Generation" vibe off what those two could be. Talented greyhounds at the 2 and 3 capable of carving teams up from deep or slashing to the rim...

I think Kentucky will surprise people in the coming year, but good to have those pieces locked in for the year after that.

Are we at the beginning of the "Swaggy Pope" era?

I love it, MD. I also love the idea of Momci coming back to play with them. Wilkins also has tons of eligibility left, and Zoom will have more years to come as well.

G - Diallo
G - Wilkins
F - Hampton/Kam Williams
F - Momci/Hawthorne (even if you lose Momci, I like the idea of small ball with Kam Williams).


Just need a big man. Pope is trending upward. It's good to see. We (all of BBN) needed the last few days of great news!

If Milan does anything close to what he did at Iowa St and we go on a run, little to no chance he returns.

Milan is a great College player but not quick enough or tall enough for the pros. He will get more points at Uk because of the pope system but he won’t get quicker or taller. No one leaves 6-8 million at UK for 2 million a year pro money.

Facts he needs to show improvement in other areas of the game and increase his scoring a little

Guys we literally may go back to back 40-0 seasons and perhaps threaten UCLA's 88 game streak. And just to think that 2 weeks ago we all wanted to FARRRRRR Pope. Turns out that he does indeed "understand the assignment." I hope the FARRRRR Pope crowd is ashamed of themselves. "Swaggy Pope"!!!! Love it...just wish I had come up with that. Rupp, Pitino, Cal and Pope. When all is said done we'll be speaking of him in the same breath as those legends

I'm pretty sure he is just trolling. The account was just started today. I think it is probably safe to assume this to be another retread sock account. I'll put him on ignore but he will probably have another account by tomorrow anyway.
