Oats wanted Wilkins bad. That was the competition for him. Milan was a huge get and we got him just like everyone gets recruits. Money money money.
Oats wanted BG bad too.... Not sure that means Wilkins was a stud recruit. He was #29-#42 in the portal depending on which service you look at. That is not the #29-#42 best college player, that is the #29-#42 best player that was not happy at their school or that was looking for a pay day.

Oats knows guards. That’s what I base that off of. Have you looked at some of the portal rankings and how players turned out? It’s comical how bad they are. It’s worse than hs kids. Adrian Wooley for Louisville was top 10 last year and couldn’t get off the bench.

Sounds to me like Pope is the smart one then . If he’s making BYU spend more money. And if Cal was so smart we wouldn’t have been a hat on the table for the dozens of recruits he lost to Duke .
How is Pope smart being constantly
Made a fool? He is constantly trying to buy players that have already been foregone conclusions to other places. Not once has he flipped one. And making BYU spend more and losing credibility looking like a joke isn’t smart no matter how you look at it.
Also, SCwildcat3 agreed with you. That should tell you how far off your logic is.

Credibility 😂 I hope pope or whoever the next coach is just doesn’t recruit anyone to make all y’all Nancie’s happy. Then he can’t miss on anyone.

If he makes BYU spend more on a recruit we aren’t likely to land that’s money they can’t spend on Millogo.

But I was mainly just joking and wouldn’t have even commented except for the “Cal is smart ”Bullcrap.

Cal allowed us to be a hat on the table countless times. Practically every time we went head to head with Duke , the Edwards kid that went to Georgia, Simmons at LSU,the kid that chose Oklahoma State over us , the kid that went to Memphis,etc.

Cal misses on guys he wants too .

It wasn't a whiff. Cal realized it was not a good fit, so he walked away. He has added that to his recruiting strategy. He learned it from Pope!
It’s Ellen’s job to nutt dangle Cal not yours . Embarrassing

Zion Williamson and Paolo Banchero were both UK leans at one time that went to Duke. Cal lost his fastball after he turned down to play at the PK80. Nike made sure that Duke would get the pick of the litter after that.

I agree with most what you said. Sorry if my other post sounded abrasive. Wasn’t intended that way.

CMP has beaten BYU for recruits before and there is no reason he can't again! It all comes down to whether this young man wants to become a legend and wear the sacred cloth or not!
It comes down to if we offer 15-20% more! At least it feels that way. Hopefully this team has a great season and we get back to being Kentucky.

Cal is smart. He probably canceled it himself knowing he’s going to BYU. He’s coming to UK so Pope will offer ludicrous money and make BYU up their offer. That’s a trend for players now.
So Cal never kept recruiting players that he knew he had zero chance of landing them?

I think with Mo and aboya on staff now it’s probably them doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Mo has Nike connections and aboya and African and agent connections. His best friend is a big time agent now to some of those kids.
Uk needs all the help it can get
Can mo get Nike back to help with recruiting

Nut Hugger Alert. You probably cried they got rid of Stoops to you moron.
Nope it was beyond time for him to go. He did a good job then just coasted and went down hill. Pope will be gone this year without big results. Then we will move on to the next. Whining everyday about it isn’t going to change that though. He’s the coach for this season.

As far as I am concerned, Pope better overacheive so massively great this year, future recruiting does not matter for next year. I'm serious about that. I'm fed up with hearing the news from the recruiting front. I'm more interested in football recruiting with Stein, actually. Been following that much closer. Knowing Pope is gonna continue whiffing at the absurd rate he does, hey, if we get a good player, I'll file it away in the "blind pig gets acron" category and not pay any more attention to it.

Don’t underestimate the importance of WWW focusing his interests on the nba instead of “influencing “ kids on their college decisions.
That happened around 2016-17.

That and pissing off Phil Knight changed the landscape of UK basketball.
