I mean everyone knew on this board it would be strikeout #3 of the week for Pope... If he doesn't make that long run in the NCAA this year (Final 4) then it's time to GTFO! I have a feeling the new AD knows this and a change will happen.............

That's because they aren't stupid... Meanwhile Mitch had to go pay BYU to get a coach with a career 63% winning percentage and no tournament wins too come coach UK talking about total mismanagement!!!!
I’ve tried to remain optimistic, but at this point there’s mountains and mountains of subjective evidence that Pope just can’t recruit high schoolers. At all. I’m not sure how you can win at the highest level without an an inflow of elite young talent.
Maybe he pulls off a miraculous 2025 Michigan-esque season. I hope he does. But I find it more likely that J Batt will be flipping through the phone book come March.

You know all 4 coaches flew out to see him this week correct? Even the great Calipari.
He was always waiting out the sweetest deal and went through schools surgically. This wasn't about falling in love with a school/coach/program or development, it was who had the sweetest deal to offer. Kid is a Social Media darling, UNC has Jordan calling him and offering him a shoe deal, $$$ and I'm guessing he'll be their only big signing and Malone promised him a featured role. That's a sweet deal. In Ark, Cal can't give him a featured role as that always runs through his guards and Black has been his priority. Guess is Henry wanted to go to Cal, but between Cal needing a Smith replacement first and not willing to up the $$, didn't work out.
for sure. His brother did the same thing. This has always been UNC to lose. Once Jordan stepped in it was over. How can you turn down Jordan. I don’t blame him. He will be featured at UNC ans get all the money he can want. The main reason pope struggles with wing HS kids is the offensive style. It doesn’t feature someone exclusively and that’s what the top kids want. He needs to adjust his offense to more of free flowing wide open system with the guards and wings running it not the 4/5 if he wants to land these prima Donna wings.
What the hell, don’t you think you’re jumping the gun. Must be a slow day, nothing else to occupy the brain.
another year of our lives wasted on Fart Dope.
MJ thinks North Carolina, BUT he said he was told by multiple people earlier in the week thinking he is ours. Sounds like a whiff.
Recruits do not get to go on NBA television shows to announce for UK, it's just how it is.
MJ also said the ship has sailed and he was glad he didn't release that UK feels good about the recruitment. MJ is finally learning that Pope generally feels good about ALL recruits, and that is his biggest problem, IMO, he can't read the room EVER.
I think it’s funny when people say Pope recruits players to fit his system when he literally offers every kid in the top 25 and is told no by all of them.
It's every single kid having an offer from Pope. And him feeling great about all of them. It's the Pope Hope.
Sounds like a UNC lock, if so then the local whiffers will be bellowing it out. If by some reason he goes to Arkansas then the Cal humpers I mean pumpers will be out (sometimes they’re also the whiffers). Now if Pope somehow got him, we’d hear about what a horrible 3pt shooter he is. Me I got my popcorn and going to clean my reading glasses(don’t want to miss a thing)
Maybe I am misunderstanding, but the UM model, is just like the UF model, and the UConn model. Transfers and retention.
Kansas in 22 was the last team from the old model, which was still mostly based on retention (same as Baylor, Virginia, Villanova, and UNC)
Might want to laugh at yourself for thinking you was right.Certainly you mean pre Madonna.
UM model was all transfers, struck gold. UF model is diff - Golden made that 25 team with a ton of under the radar talent. Condon and Haugh were lower HS prospects, Chinheylu and the three guards were all lower transfers. Give him credit for having a good eye.
Hurley plucks high upside talent that fits his system he knows he can coach up.
Go after Josh Schertz! If you don’t know who he is…look up his career stats!
If the truth was known, BYU might have waived the buyout to get rid of him.
The people thinking he is ours is probably pope.
If I remember correctly pope and staff all but stopped telling them anything because they can’t keep their mouth shut about anything. KSR group does a lot of clickbait stuff I know that.
Mason has played pretty well so far, Zoom is same as he was at Washington
Still have to need a creative guard that can score
He would be a solid hire. NY guy, would have the nuts to handle the place. He passed up looking last year though, so might be waiting on something.
Our dumb*** AD was gladly willing to pay $6m for Pope’s buyout. Like BYU wasn’t going to let Mitch shoot himself in the foot. It’s amazing how much we’re getting bullied by freaking BYU of all places thanks to our jackass of a former AD.
There are a lot of rumors about him wanting to go to the NBA.
I heard it was 20 million and he thinks Jordan will give a contract for 100 million. So Pope’s offering chump change.
