Pathetic, same BS as JQ.
The wiffs add up and then a late add with risk.
We've seen this before.
He needs to go!

Mitchell Not Coming to UK
- Thread starter FitchandMurray29
- Start date
Billy D's not coming to coach at UK no matter how many circle jerks you guys give him.
Mark Pope is not the guy, but Billy D is not gonna replace him.

This is now like the 30th best roster in the country. I have zero expectations for this season, a six seed would be an accomplishment.

**** this conference go somewhere where they don’t always try to screw us.. we made SEC basketball only to get ****** over time and time again..
I figured you would be in here celebrating. UK loses a stud player and any closet Duke fan would be happy
The lack of commitment by modern day players makes it increasingly challenging to stay committed as a fan ... unfortunately.
It is musical chairs, if not an absolute zoo !!

and we are Charlie Brown, just keeps pulling the rug at the LAST SECOND.
I do think we have a special player in Mcbride and N'Diaye but man it would have been fun to have Mitchell.

What is special about Mcbride? Undersized SEC 4 from a smaller school.
I will pretty much keep my predictions as something like 22-10, 11-7, 4th or 5th seed.
Classic RR....
Before adding Mitchell.."We have a Top 15 team "
Lose Mitchell.."We are the worst team in tge SEC and likely miss the Big Dance"

Justin McBride 6’8 250
Mark Mitchell 6’9 230
We should still be a competitive team in the conference and nationally, although the loss of Mitchell clearly hurts.
N'Diaye, McBride, Hawthorne and Noah will simply have to step up ... we'll soon see what happens.
Question: Will we roll with fourteen (14) or is there time to pick up a fifteenth player ... assuming he can be expected to provide major help ??
I don’t know, it kind of is his fault. He can’t recruit players of Mitchell’s caliber when he has to go against actual coaches. He got Momcilovic because he withdrew so late in the process that everyone else had already spent their budget, and he only got Mitchell because no one wanted to deal with the legal nonsense (for good reason, clearly)
Yep. I was ready to rock with this team w/Mitchell. I have zero enthusiasm for this team now. Yawn. That absolutely sucks man. Pope has to be livid right now.
For anyone that says this isn't Pope's fault. The recruiting and development of a roster is 100% Pope's responsibility. I would argue Pope did a mediocre job assembling a roster and Mitchell was almost a gift that landed in his lap.
I just hope a 19-11 record with a tourney bid and 2nd round exit is not considered "good enough" to keep saying one more year.

Part of me is glad this happened now.... Because we would have played the whole season always wondering if another judge was going to overturn the TRO, and every game he played in would have been forfeited.... Pope took a chance.... And The SEC AND NCAA screwed it up.... He has a decent roster for this year, Mitchell was just extra.
It's gotten to the point.... I hate college sport now.. It's a shell of what it was. Wish congress would step in and lay some laws down..or the power conferences break away and form there own league. And get away from the joke of the NCAA.

It has everything to do with him being from the SEC. He’s been granted an extra year by the courts(so far) and the SEC transfer rule is what was holding him up from playing at UK. Hence his movement back to Missouri. Right?
We obviously have money. Does Cade Tyson move the needle? IDK. I think we were the courts play out and roll with what we have, but if the players win, there will likely be someone available that can play
I certainly understand your sentiment. I will follow Kentucky, as I have for my entire life, but I will not be unwaveringly glued to the TV set if I have something better to do ... like going to a concert. You can always record the games, of course.
A decent roster is all some UK fans hope for now.
and let's not forget this (even though I didn't necessarily think Hall was ever a take.)
Alabama didn’t have any games forfeited last year.
Which PF did we whiff on? The guy who went to St. John's and blew his ACL or a whatever tendon it was to shreds? That's the only one I can remember and it was a blessing in disguise. Seems like the PFs were lacking in the portal this year.
Leave your mom out of this.
And he has EVERYTHING to prove now! McBride can become what Mitchell would have been for UK! I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!
Fantasy land is strong in this post.
When Cal first arrived all we had was smooth sailing for the first several years. Recruits lined up in droves to play here, we won a lot and were consistently on the top of the college basketball board and in the conversation. Things went South with Cal and a change was rightfully made.
But it really has been just the opposite with Pope after assembling his first team which did come together nicely especially under the circumstances. But multiple injuries derailed our season and it has been downhill since then. His fault or not, things have been a total **** show with him in charge and the buck stops at the top. He will get a 3rd season but anything less than a stellar season should lead to a coaching change. UK basketball was not built to be a circus but that is exactly what we have become under Pope.

While this is true, one does have a touch more athleticism than the other.
