    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...

    Pope takes #1 Recruit CJ Rosser fishing

    It's difficult for me to get excited about Pope recruiting a top player, but I appreciate him for giving us that future meme. He's a good guy, a well meaning guy, it's just.... *sigh*. Nothing else has worked, time to think outside the (tackle) box 🤷‍♂️

    Juke Harris?

    Best case scenario is he goes to Michigan. UTjr is really going all out to buy their way out of the "Zero Final Fours" meme.

    Be Honest: What are your true thoughts with UK's coaching situation

    Cal was DONE here so I was ready to see him go. With Pope, as a recruiter I never expected him to do great with recruits ranked 1-20, but what I did think was that he would excel with recruits mostly in the 40-80 range that fit his style and he would outscheme more talented teams like was...

    The ELEPHANT in the room

    I want UK football to do well and win the national championship. That being said, imagine how it would go over with the "football first" folks if I created an account named UKBasketball78, and then went into every football thread and tried my best to defend and prop up a clearly failing...

    So Many Chicken Littles

    My standard for what needs to be accomplished this season has not changed and it will not change, no matter the recruiting failures. I expect Kentucky to put a winning, Top 4 in the SEC Regular Season, Elite 8 product on the floor. That is a reasonable expectation at UK within three seasons...

    Remember when some said Popes 1st class would be his worst?

    I was definitely one of those that thought so. I thought he would use that group gradually build something special. 🤡

    Which roster is better?

    I'd say Pandemic Cats would win 8 out of 10. Pope's Last Hopes win 2 because "Cal gonna Cal".

    Time for Kentucky to dump Nike

    There are a lot of legitimate gripes to have with Nike and their (mis)treatment of UK. I don't think this one is on them.

    Mcbride to UK

    Hope he does well here. Doubt the staff would let him announce right before Stokes if they were confident we were getting him (I know, different positions, just more of a thing of everyone getting their own special announcement day), but who knows. I certainly don't feel great about it.

    Mo Williams post on X

    I like the Mo addition, but geez that tweet did nothing to help the perception of the competence level of Pope and his staffs at UK. Hopefully we forget all about it an hour from now.

    Mo Williams post on X

    Could be something, could be nothing, but I can say that I wouldn't post that if I was a college basketball assistant coach and I wasn't 100% certain he was coming to where I was coaching at.... 🤷‍♂️

    Stokes announcing at 6:30 EST

    Yes, and that would be on Pope if it happens. He is the one who made Stokes his top priority over more attainable, but still good, recruits.

    Who Does Stokes Picks Today at 6:30?

    When was the last time a national TV announcement went UK's way? Pre-2020 Cal Era? My guess is Kansas. They've been the team making moves and clearing room for him. If Nike is a make or break factor, then my guess is Oregon. A poster mentioned they've already been ruled out, but the only thing...

    Is the team set for next season?

    If that's our roster so be it. I'm not lowering my own personal fair standard just so people can say that we overachieved by getting an average roster into the NCAA Tournament. My standard for a UK coach by the end of Year 3 in the NIL Era: - At least 1 Top 4 finish in the SEC Regular Season...
