Kohler to BYU

[kywildcat1021979]

BYU > Pope. We can’t even deny it at this point. They’ve won every. Single. Time.

Fixed that for you!

How many hours do you think Pope has wasted on Zoom with these guys?

Isn’t he like 0-50 with players he’s zoomed with?

 

[Skyguyb27]

What about Garrison and the guard that went back to Fl and our shooter who went to Ole Miss?

They did it during the portal being open.

 

[Snarks]

He’s a good player. I figured BYU with the religious and local connection. I think it’s interesting BYU had more success in the ncaa tournament with their coach prior to Pope and more success in the postseason and recruiting with the new coach after Pope. Really makes you wonder why Brigham Young University basketball fans are way happier now that he is gone while so many Kentucky fans cling to the notion Pope is Hurley 2.0 and going to be great just because he played here.

Don’t forget we paid BYU $6mil for mark pope too.

I knew you’d come out the wood works

He's writing whiffy Whifferson whiff again in the wood works? Weally?

The church does need money to operate and help others but it is greedy imo to ask people for 10% of their income for life. It should be whatever you feel like giving when you can.

Churches are following what God has stated.

I’m afraid with Sankey and the SEC asking the judge to rule him ineligible he’ll have a hard time getting to play. Don’t get me wrong I’ve went on record on this board I’d want Mitchell more than anyone although Kohler would have been great.

Then are mo at lsu, Aberdeen at Florida, Garrison at Bam ineligible?

 

[bnewt5]

Look Mitchell has always been the first choice ,heck nobody knew he was a possibility till the zoom,They told him to wait and see ,and he didn't want to ,so I believe Mitchell will get the injunction and be a cat,he was always first choice

No one knows if that is true or not. 1st reports say pope and uk did not even contact Mitchell when he 1st became available, but they were already contacting kohler. Could also be true uk was trying to get kohler to wait until the Mitchell situation was decided. No one truly knows

 

[bnewt5]

Exactly.

So the logic of "well we didn't lead for him so it's not a whiff" is just wild to me.

The mere fact that we didn't lead for him and a large portion of recruits since Pope has taken over is EXACTLY the problem here lol.

You can't lead for everyone. This one guy in of itself isn't the problem. But its the pattern of always finishing 2nd or 3rd or 4th that Pope has had here is.

Exactly right but if you look at this continual pattern and acknowledge that there is a problem, then you are labeled a troll or non fan. Kohler and the over seas guy that picked ucla over uk are the latest examples.

Don’t forget we paid BYU $6mil for mark pope too.

Quite the bargain wasn't it

How many hours do you think Pope has wasted on Zoom with these guys?

Probably quite a few.

Churches are following what God has stated.

Only that they should give livestock and land. Israelites tithe to the levites. That’s it. Nowhere else does it say to give any % of your money to the church that I know of.

Mark Pope is ***. These last 3 years have been such a waste.

 

[TFCat11]

How many hours do you think Pope has wasted on Zoom with these guys?

Zoom Call = Kiss of Death, when it comes to Pope’s recruiting!

Lets just hope, if that judge declares Mitchell eligible, Pope stays as far away from that Zoom App as humanly possible

 

[NineIsOnTheWay]

Sometimes y'all guys confuse me on here. Is anybody seriously upset that this guy went to byu? It was said a week ago we were out on him.

I for one was kind of happy when I seen he committed to BYU. Simply because I want Mitchell and we can't have both. Now if Mitchell commits somewhere else I will be kind of annoyed because I am expecting him to be a cat. Never expected kholer to be a cat.

Your right we should’ve hired Billy Donovan who last won a championship over 20 years ago because he surely will understand an almost entirely different atmosphere and game

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Exactly right but if you look at this continual pattern and acknowledge that there is a problem, then you are labeled a troll or non fan. Kohler and the over seas guy that picked ucla over uk are the latest examples.

Guys there is like 365 other school and 25% have just about the same money as us. So if you take off that “Kentucky standard” bs everyone always talks about there isn’t a ton of reason to come here unless you like the gameplan

 

[kyjeff1]

Yep.

Lost in all the narratives is the fact that the UK staff clearly doesn't think their current pair of 4 men (N'Diaye/McBride) are capable of playing heavy minutes the SEC; otherwise, why would the staff have recruited over them?

Got to get Mitchell.

I think Pope is doing the right thing by trying to get another difference maker, but he keeps losing these battles and it certainly is a bad look.

However, our media seems to know too much. Nobody seems to know what's going on behind the scenes at duke, uNC, UT, Kansas etc… , but everything Pope does, is broadcast for all to know.

As fans, it's great that we know what's going on, but this is the reason Cal stopped telling us… ..anything. "I don't know" "haven't seen him", "you'll have to ask him". The fans and media really shouldn't know everything and Pope will eventually learn that.

All these misses are right out there for everyone to see and when they also know that you had a 2-1/2 hour zoom with Kohler, they know you went all in and missed on another guy that BYU got.

Now, I wanted Mitchell over Kohler. Kohler didn’t do much for me tbh, so if Pope gets MM, great, all is good, but if he misses… .wow. You can't miss this often in this seat.

 

[Smeegs]

Then are mo at lsu, Aberdeen at Florida, Garrison at Bam ineligible?

That issue has nothing to do with Mo and Garrison. They’ve only had three CBB seasons, so of course they indisputably have remaining eligibility.

 

[HorseyMcBonerBalls]

How many hours do you think Pope has wasted on Zoom with these guys?

Remember right after Pope was trolled by Stokes and after that decision immediately fled the country, flying out to Israel to desperately ***** himself out recruiting a C level player in Marcio Santos?

And then Will Wade literally sitting at home just texts Santos saying "F that nerd, come play here" and we immediately lost him to LSU? Lol.

What is impressive is that despite Pope being an absolutely awful recruiter and evaluator, it still will *mostly* work out for him because the system is basically designed for him not to fail. We've always got a ton of money to throw at players and now with the fifth year shenanigans we've got a never-ending stream of backup options despite missing out on target after target.
