    That's fine, but do we really need another HC who makes hires based on friends/favors. Hope it works, but not feeling good about it.

    But you're actually saying they are. I just want them to make UK the first priority while they are here, and you're saying they will only come if we let them care about UK, NIl and the NBA simultaneously. Uconn players weren't even strong draft contenders when they went there. Those guys cared...

    A week in….what are you most excited about?

    What's it like living in a world where everyone is a troll simply because they think differently from you? So we just want to compare ourselves to Cal and Arky? We've missed on every player we had that transfered. We missed out on our entire recruiting class sans Perry. We lost out on good...

    Lol, try 63.4% for his career. Only one of those years did he coach in a p5 conference. 0 NCAA tournament wins, 0 conference championships, and only making the NCAA twice isn't that solid of a resume.

    So, all you're saying is Mark Pope lied and kids really don't give a **** about the team they are playing for so long as they get NIL and money and get to the next level as fast as possible? Funny....I thought that was a chief complaint among Cal coached teams.

    Wanting it's great, but it's more imperative you actually do it. So far, his resume doesn't show the latter.

    Lol, what is with everyone comparing us to ArK and Cal? I thought the idea was to move on from that, but so far every just compares what we're doing to Cal and Ark and rationalizes we are okay because we're in the same situation.

    Lol, they finished no better than we did. They ended their season at the same point we did, correct? "bUT tHey fInIsHeD 5 sPoTS hIgHeR iN da kEnpoM!" You don't get anything for that! MSU had 15 losses and finished higher than both. Wisconsin had 14 losses and finished better in Kenpom than...

    So, we got sold lies? Uconn seems to be doing pretty good at it. Their making it to the pros but appear to be giving their all for Uconn first.

    You seem so confused. No one has said that players shouldn't have ambitions of making NIL money and to one day play in the NBA. However, playing for the name on the front of the jersey means that all comes secondary to playing for UK. It doesn't just mean winning at the end of the season. If...

    Assistants Update

    I'm just going off what Mark Pope was selling at his press conference. He said he was recruiting guys that played for the name on the front, not the back. So I'm lost for expecting that standard he mentioned? Dreams of making it to the NBA and having that be their primary motivation for being...

    Some optimism from Norlander on our situation

    Assistants Update

    Okay, so the Fox hire seems like a friend/favor hire. Which is a similar issue we had with Cal. The Hart hire is a lot more intriguing, but someone who coached Ignite doesn't seem like the kind of guy with connections to the KY first type of players. He seems more like a guy that would be...

    Kenny Payne to Arkansas

    Not disagreeing, but I am curious what his qualifications and background are for the role he is being hired for. I, like most, was always perplexed why Bruiser was brought here and what his role was. It seemed like a friend hire, which is why I am now questioning this hire since I don't...
