Kohler to BYU
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
Isn’t he like 0-50 with players he’s zoomed with?
Don’t forget we paid BYU $6mil for mark pope too.
He's writing whiffy Whifferson whiff again in the wood works? Weally?
Churches are following what God has stated.
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
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.
Probably quite a few.
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.
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
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
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 culture/gameplan

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.
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.
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.
Right, but that's not the latest issue. Sankey and a few others are trying to block this, because they don't want Mitchell to transfer from one SEC school to another SEC school.
The fact that Mitchell didn’t enter his name into the portal prior to now, is irrelevant to the conversation when the NEW reason is the SEC school to SEC school issue.
Fact is, there are plenty of other SEC to SEC transfers, so why is it an issue now all the sudden?
If the SEC and NCAA want to fight this over the 2022 eligibility issue, cool, but that's not what Sankey is doing. You can't block Mitchell from transferring to another SEC school when you've allowed several other players to do it. Hell, Aberdeen did it twice.
I think a lot of people have been overestimating sankey and the ncaa ability to unfairly target certain players.
if Mitchell is cleared and ready to go but then sankey blocks it, I think we have the capability and a big enough fan base that we would make it national news
So TLDR if Mitchell is cleared by a judge than he is playing UK basketball
I think the other SEC to SEC transfers were within the transfer window to transfer intra conference.
Between the wives dictating crap and the absolutely insane pull to just.... Live in Utah for some unfathomable reason.... Yes.
Its too bad Pope doesnt have that same desire to live in Utah.
Some of the best skiing on earth is in Utah, but yeah, I wouldn't want to live there and certainly not attend BYU
Well Jalen Washington is the exact same situation, plus there is a few others coming from other conferences going to the likes of Oklahoma, etc.
Anyway, Aberdeen only entered the portal because he thought he might get a fifth year due to not playing much his freshman year. It would be dumb to enter if you had no idea you'd have the opportunity to play and no court would deny a window to open if someone was deemed eligible after the fact.
Aberdeen also said he transferred to finish some credits at UF over the summer to graduate. So his 'completely different' situation, in which he still played 4 full years of basketball, was a complete stroke of luck.
I notice you spend all day going from person to person looking for a fight. Pathetic. Muteville.
Why would someone without eligibility enter a portal? Since they've been given a 5th year of eligibility, it's ridiculous for the SEC to punish it's own members.
Then why are we so heavily involved with so many of these guys, and we are basically never the perceived leader? The few times we have been the leader like Wright, Caleb Wilson, Stokes, Christian Collins, etc somehow it almost always goes wrong. It is insanity and anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves.
I don’t know. I’ve asked the same question several times on here. Doesn’t change the SEC rule though.
I was just responding to those comparing other SEC to SEC transfers and wondering why Mitchell is different. That’s why. Even if I find it stupid.
You have absolutely ZERO facts to back up that statement, only he his family and Pope know anything about how serious negotions with him were or were not. Such assertions are idiotic. However it would seem to me that Pope should refrain from recruiting battles with BYU for Mormons from Utah, pretty big hill to climb there.
Becoming harder and harder to recruit top level guys. All the more reason having a coach that's a great recruiter is just as important if not more than the actual coaching IMO.
What is the problem exactly? He got his feelings hurt because UK fans wrote him off as going to byu. Wow I wonder where he ended up going.
