But why post that photo if you aren’t going to St. John’s??

Fair enough, my initial thought was the UK photo was him literally turning his back on UK (his back is facing Pope). Probably feels some type of way about how it panned out, but solidifies that it could’ve been a character issue that would be hard to overcome thus far into the offseason

That’s exactly what it is. He’s slighting pope saying we’re behind him and he’s saying St. John’s is the choice

Glad we’re interpreting it the same way. Definitely gives some confidence that the ‘insiders’ are at least getting some things right about us moving on, hopefully all the Mitchell/kohler smoke is real, could get real exciting real fast

Or the staff didn't like his demands. None of us know if he came and said I want to start at the 3, I want 35 minutes a game, I want at least 15 shots a game, and I want the (random jersey number a player on the team is already wearing). Nobody outside that small circle knows why the staff backed off. But they obviously found something they didn't like. They also see the current roster practice every single day and know better what the team needs than us posting on this board. It could also be that Mitchell and Hall were graded similarly by the staff and Mitchell is cheaper/has less demands/is a better locker room fit/more interested in actually coming here.

POfM82, I like a common sense analysis of the possible complications in recruiting Hall that you shared with us. Good Show-A Jolly Good Show!!!!!

Our football staff is filled with former UL players. We good. We also were happy when Kenny Payne went home to UL, knowing he cherishes his time at UK more. :)

i think his tweet is much simpler than that. If we did move on, hes still using Kentucky for buzz and negotiation tactics to get more money from St Johns.

I know Florida doesn't want him and Tennessee doesn't need him. Cal would probably take him

But LSU doesn't have a starting five yet so he would fit in there.

Kinda skeptical that we’re fully out/pulled out of his recruitment, staff would be putting a ton of faith in Mitchell and Kohler gaining transfer ability, gonna be interesting to see how it shakes out

Hall was eligible to transfer, and I would have gone for the sure thing. Plus, UK needs a small forward, as Kam is injured, and you can't count on him.

Why do people keep saying we need a small forward? Milan is the 3 for this team. He might slide over some at the 4 when we go small but he is our 3. And kam is going to be fine and play this year.

Milan is better as a stretch 4. If I had a dollar for every time I heard an injured player is going to be fine.

Well he is our 3. That’s what he is and always has been. Matchup nightmare for the 3 spot similar to Haugh for Florida. Not many teams have a 6’9 3 man

Recruiting specialist Mark Poop strikes again. Apparently “Leading” for all 3 guys at one point, now it’s Hall to St. John’s, Kohler to BYU and Mitchell is “up in the air”

Kohler and Mitchell still aren’t eligible so who knows. And hall going elsewhere is a blessing.

Weird take.

Guess u think Cal and Pitino are boyscouts. Or coach k or Roy. All had issues and controversies. And so on.

The other poster acts like Bruce pearl or pitino are some desperate souls and will take anyone. Pitino has been to tons of final fours and technically has 2 titles. Pearl took auburn to 2 final fours.

The point is u have to be willing to do what it takes to win big. Im not surprised u missed that obvious point.

I don’t think being a boyscout or not is in any way a factor, your strawman arguments aside.
