Achilles

 

[ORCAT]

Major setback for St. John's. We were in big on this guy at one time too. Guess we're not the only ones with the injury bug. Sorry to hear this for the kid and team.

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

Butterfly effect. Likely wouldn’t have happened had he come here. Hate that for gim though. Speedy recovery.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Oh that's brutal.

 

[BluWildcatz]

Is this his third injury?

 

[exo6desmo]

Wow. Who could have possibly foreseen this guy being injured. Again. Huh. It's not like he has a history of this or anything. Yet, everyone was freaking out about losing him.

 

[mdluk1]

Wow, bad luck for him. If he’d come here and this happened, the Pope haters would have exploded.

 

[Hitman206]

Wow, bad luck for him. If he’d come here and this happened, the Pope haters would have exploded.

Especially with him getting more money than Quaintance.

You are showing your lack of understanding of the butterfly effect.But then you show compassion for”him”.
Many on this board including me were concerned about his history of injuries - I’ll bet Pitino will move on with CLASS & let him return next year but for less $$$$$$.

Damn right we would have because I seen a large amount of posters state his injury history and say how risky he was. I would have absolutely been btchn.

 

[FactsOrOpinions]

Why not a fourth thread? Lol jk mods can delete. I'm sure y'all all posted at the same time. Just messing.

That is one Pope whiff that is awesome. He would have continued the massive injury streak we have had. Thank ya Jesus for this miss. He agreed on a deal here before he left too. Thank you agent McGreedy.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Pitino said it was a non contact injury too. Just bad luck.

I mean people would have every right to be upset. I was upset at losing him for sure but he was a risk. Going hard after him in the first place after JQ made no sense but until that point Pope needed talent and had to take risks sadly.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

I think Pitino did Pope a favor

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pitino said it was a non contact injury too. Just bad luck.

He’s just one of those guys who will never be healthy. Whatever it is his body can’t handle the stress of playing. He plays less than AD or Porzingis.

 

[DarkPope]

I seen a lot of posters screaming whiff but to each their own. At the end of the day I played 6 seasons in the league, let me cook and evaluate talent.

 

[Anon1751335390]

Good thing we didn’t overpay for him.

 

[Wunky]

Massive bullet dodged.

 

[Hitman206]

Not how Karma works.

It is when you committed to UK and then St Johns comes in with a higher offer and you go there.

Bad luck? There’s no such thing. It has to be someones’s fault. We always blame it on the strength or head coach here. I wonder if they are blaming Pitino or the conditioning coach?

 

[BellyBall]

He was always boom or bust. Pitino gambled and lost. Glad it wasn't us.

 

[JimboBBN]

What a good miss this ended up being

 

[NociHTTP]

He says his achilles injury is too small.

 

[Bluegrasskingreboot]

 

[Threedognight]

He says his achilles injury is too small.

Apparently Villanova has come in and increased the injury bid

 

[UKCowboys]

Yikes

 

[UKVACats0107]

Glad this was a "whiff" !!
Thank you Mr. Freeman.

Probably will transfer to UK after this season to wrap up his rehab and be ready to go

He did whiff. Luckily this time. Basketball Gods had our back. But evaluation?? Bennys in here could see the injury risk but Pope couldn't?

Don't say well Pitino wanted him too. Pope just kicked his *** last season.

 

[FactsOrOpinions]

Lot of players praying for a injury in this NIL era. especially ones with no shot at NBA

He never committed to Ky that I know of?
Still question your Karma opinion?

5 in 5 changes that narrative

 

[KYAnywhereEverywhere]

I remember seeing a few times that he was an injury risk, but didn't see why. What were his previous injuries?
