Look everyone, he’s a big boy now! A special little man! Ohh yes he is, a special little man.
. There’s you a little attention buddy, don’t spend it all at once.
Yea, I saw the picture of the lodge with that story and it doesn’t scream luxury, at least by today’s standards. I would move out in a nanosecond if I was making hundreds of thousands each yearWell whaddya know
Mark Pope outlines Kentucky's summer plans -- which include the entire team living in the lodge
The entire Kentucky Basketball team will live in the lodge this summer, a change from years past that Mark Pope hopes will help them bond.www.on3.com
Living together will always be best, especially in modern day sports where teams are only together one year. Gelling and bonding is everything in today's cbb.
We are grown *** adults of a wide variety of ages, & WITH FAMILIES. We also (for most jobs) don't have to work as closely together as does a sports team. So you tried to give a horrible analogy.
WildCat Lodge is not "a normal dorm". And just how modern do you think they are living off campus. I bet they aren't buying or renting homes.
I was just a regular student and didn't stay in campus beyond Sophomore year. In fact, I left the dorms after first semester of my Sophomore year so I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting some space, quiet, less shenanigans. and more independence.
If I couldn't have got into one with a semi private bathroom and had to continue with the barracks style one I wouldn't have made it that long.
There are only so many times anyone wants to deal with puke or even crap in the community showers before the luster dims severely.
They wouldn't be dealing with that nonsense but still.
Summer seems a good compromise and maybe Freshmen could get some extra guidance and supervision to help them to get on the right track but that isn't worth having a reason for star Freshmen to avoid coming here but then I have no clue what the competition is doing but I doubt they have mandatory living arrangements.
Juniors and Seniors especially with serious girlfriends, wives. or kids the shine probably comes off really quickly.

Most are millionaires now. They can afford to rent a deluxe property for 9 months.
There is a lot to be said for conveinence (Wildcat Lodge is next to Memorial). And for being around your friends and teammates.
You must be young.
I would expect less "shenanigans", more quiet goes on at WL, & that it has more space than regular dorms. I didn't mind dorms at all, well except the bathroom down the hall part. But if I had one with a semi-private bath I'd been happy.
I think it's very important for chemistry and team bonding to be around each other A LOT!!!
They’d have to kick my butt out of there..
This dude is fantasizing of rooming with a bunch of teen boys.
Another note: he's been sending me private DMs absolutely begging for bare *** shots, telling me to "spread the cheeks so much it burns." He says its for "research."
I think your mom needs to research your internet activity. You’re one sick little kid.This dude is fantasizing of rooming with a bunch of teen boys.

Another note: You’re not as funny as you think and should look for some help as soon as possible.
Right? Almost as if someone had started a thread by saying
“On one hand if this team was as bad in the locker room as it sometimes seemed they were then maybe we were better off with them living as far awar from each other as possible.
Otoh ALL our great teams lived together and you would think that would be one good way to mold them into a real team.
Thoughts?”
Mark Pope has Kentucky Basketball team living together in Wildcat Coal Lodge this summer
Mark Pope is emphasizing team chemistry ahead of the 2026-27 season, as he is making all players live together.

Young depends heavily on where along the line but it is getting thinner and thinner on the still call me.a kid side for sure.
Get lost. Thanks.This dude is fantasizing of rooming with a bunch of teen boys.

He's a complete tool. Just think, his dad used a tool to make a tool.
Haha! Dang brother, I may have been wrong about you. You are pretty damnn funny.
. Crazy maybe, but funny.
That's funny, that's what your mom said to me last night. But we all know how that one turned out.
**bbbbRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAapPPPPPPPPPPPPPPpppp**
lol. Well you’re alright in my book then. I’m a momma’s boy too bud. I was just acting a fool.
Kiss and make up?
*I spread my cheeks and literally start quivering in anticipation. My hairy man knees shaking violently in the darkness.*
Our thoughts don’t count and shouldn’t.
This is solely a coach’s decision. No more or less than how practice is run, who starts in games, who gets how much playing time, etc.
It’s just another “There’s no I in TEAM” thing if Coach says that’s how it’s going to be—and case closed.
But FWIW, my own “thought” is if they can’t live together in a disciplined way, than how the hell can they play together as a team in a disciplined way?
Here’s the thing:
Facts are facts. We can use our thoughts, especially in discussions, to try and uncover the facts by tools like logic and investigation. And that’s useful and interesting. This board wouldn’t exist if that weren’t the case.
Saying “our thoughts don’t count” is meaningless unless you’re trying to tell us no one’s going to go running to Pope and force him to implement a solution if we figure one out. News flash: no one thought that anyway.
