    Rank Pope's 3rd Year Recruting Class

    Of the options listed I voted B, but I really think it's more in the C+ to B- range. Voting C with Milan didn't feel right to me, though. I have to give him some credit for getting his biggest recruiting win thus far at UK. For me how we ultimately judge this class comes down to how well Wilkins...

    Now will people get off Pope's *** and support this team

    This was an EXCELLENT job to get this done by Pope. I think he's now put a solid team together. My standard is going to remain my standard, though. Can he win 25+ games? Can he finish Top 4 in this SEC? Can he get to an Elite 8? Time will tell and I'm rooting for him to do all of the above.

    Milan UK

    EXCELLENT news! Pope needed this in the worst way. Now time to put it together on the court.

    If Pope doesn't get Milan

    Yet we still try to enter into every big time recruitment like we have the money and JMI isn't an issue, while showing almost no interest in more financially attainable recruits that are still better than most of what we're settling for. 🤷‍♂️

    BB: Hampton visiting again this week

    That's how I see it, but for Pope who wants to "shoot 30+ threes a game" I just think Milan is much more important. Especially with a backcourt that, while talented, have yet to prove they can be consistent 3 point makers at the level you'd want or need them to be. His best players at UK have...

    Milan to UK?

    Or, hear me out on this one, hire a men's basketball coach that recruits don't require double the money to play for.

    If I’m recruiting against Kentucky

    I'm not sure I could create a player in a lab that would be easier for Mark Pope to recruit than Momcilovic. He's from the midwest, shoots close to 50% from 3 with a high volume of attempts, and looks like Balki from Perfect Strangers. If Pope can't get it done with THIS dude then it's time to...

    If MM chooses elsewhere… anyone left?

    After Momcilovic I'm not seeing a game changer left on the board and it looks like the NCAA is about to slam the door shut on our "fill the gaps with a couple foreign players" hail mary if the player hasn't dotted all their i's and crossed all their t's when it comes to their interactions with...

    Milan to UK?

    Watching this UK baseball collapse while keeping up with the Milan recruitment that (predictably) looks like it's turning into another stumble across the finish line is like getting two kicks to the nuts for the price of one today. The current UK administration can't get out of here fast enough...

    Milan to UK?

    That does sound like a Mitch rule ("Kentucky Basketball shall not ruffle the feathers of any other program on campus"). If we've truly got him then he might decide to let them announce it right now to distract from this disgusting collapse.

    Milan to UK?

    It really would be nice to have an OFFICIAL announcement of Momcilovic to UK before the end of the night. The longer these "super secret done deal" recruitments drag on (especially for the name brand guys), the worse it seems to go for us.

    Milan to UK?

    Love it, now we just have to wait for George, Kramer, and Elaine to make their predictions before his announcement.

    Zoom Again?

    UK is the only rumored school where he can get the money he wants while also being a guaranteed starter and get the most minutes (aka we need him the most). He's also as close to a perfect fit as it gets for Pope's style of play. Given all of that in our favor, if we fail to land him I don't...

    Moreno withdraws from draft, back to Kentucky

    Great news, it would've been a disaster for us if he had stayed in the draft. I think our ceiling is "team that bounces in and out of the Top 25" with him just going by what we have on paper right now (could be better, could be worse, you never know how players will fit together and who will...

    Moreno Trending First Round

    We really live in a time where Thomas Haugh, who honestly should've went pro after Florida won their championship in 2025, is turning down projected lottery pick money and a year closer to that "second NBA contract" (which is what this board used to say to justify players leaving before they...
