    Pope's seat could be inferno hot even before the start of conference play

    In my lifetime I can never remember a more preseason dreaded basketball season than the one coming up. Even in Tubby’s later years and the two Gillespie years. There was more hope then than what we have now. At least Billy had Meeks and Patterson, two guys worthy of national player of the year...

    How old is Billy Donovan ?

    The perfect age to be the next head coach at UK!

    Please, without being nasty, explain to me why our recruiting efforts are almost beyond belief ?

    As everybody else has said… Pope. He had no basketball connections with anybody who actually matters outside of Utah. Has never been successful as a coach therefore the media never talked about him which makes him an unknown. Has never coached any big time freshmen or even decorated...

    Barnhart shot himself in the foot

    With his half assed head coaching search. I think most would agree that if he would’ve made the right hire he would’ve gotten his $1 million a year position. Not saying it’s right because I don’t think that it is but he definitely wouldn’t have gotten as much backlash that he has if the...

    Kentucky name has never guaranteed recruiting success

    The fact is other than Rupp, Pitino and Cal were absolutely perfect for UK. Both winners with alpha personalities who didn’t answer to nobody. Gillespie and Pope just didn’t have the right personalities for the job. I love Tubby and I won’t say he didn’t have the personality but then again maybe...

    Mid Major Mark Strikes Again!!!

    I re-read and yes you very much did compare them in their times here at UK. My memory and comprehension is at a level nobody ever thought was possible. You switched gears in your second post once you realized how ignorant your first post was. What does Cal getting run off or not have to do with...

    Mid Major Mark Strikes Again!!!

    You can love Cal or hate him. But for you to compare him to Pope as far as coaching goes, is foolish.

    Mid Major Mark Strikes Again!!!

    Cal’s at Arkansas. Pope’s at Kentucky. Arkansas is not Kentucky. They’re not expected to win national titles there.

    Given the currently outlook of Kentucky's roster, the team could be in for a rude, historic awakening at the start of next season...

    Yep. He’s not returning because of his love for UK. He’s returning for the money and the money alone. That’s it. He has to know his departure after next year is inevitable.

    Looks like Pope isn't promising anyone playing time

    Ain’t got much of a choice right now. You gotta play with at least 5 and I think we have about 6 or so at this current moment

    Ousmane Ndaye

    Dudes 7’ tall and weighs 210 lbs. Hope he can block some shots cause he sure ain’t no bruiser. This commitment does absolutely nothing.

    UK Announces No New Job for Mitch

    Mitch Barnhart needs to no longer be associated with the University of Kentucky ever again!

    “Things are trending in right direction for Mark Pope”

    Everybody keeps saying he’s similar to Almonor so it must be good? Didn’t he average like 4 ppg? This is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Matt Jones says Stokes could announce today or tomorrow

    I assume you’re only talking about Kentucky results? Gillespie accomplished more at A&M than Pope did at BYU as in at least winning some tournament games and a top 10 national ranking on several occasions. Maybe not by much but he was actually more qualified to be here than Pope ever thought...

    Lol I have no clue what your point is or what you’re trying to say but I’ll take a swing lol. What effect did Cal have on this hire? And I don’t remember who it was from but I do know it was a reliable source that reported Pope called Barnhart and insisted he be the next coach because no other...
