    The Dust Has Settled: Stokes or Momcilovic?

    They didn't get Stokes and Milan. Which was the criteria laid out above. Pope got a very good transfer class. Getting Milan should hold weight. But we just move the goal posts. "Next time get Milan AND Stokes. That's what we do at Kentucky." But it's not actually what anyone does--or did.

    The Dust Has Settled: Stokes or Momcilovic?

    But no one could get both. Kansas got 1, not both. Duke got neither. Louisville got neither.

    Its time for Kentucky

    What exactly does "waiting" cost us? What does moving on give us/how does it benefit us? He's one of the best players in the entire portal. He's by far the best player left. He solves multiple needs for us. But yeah, let's take ourselves out of the running because the kid took *checks...

    Georgia uses beer tips for NIL?

    The guy was either pulling his leg or lying hoping for a tip.

    Trent Noah

    But Trent Noah DOESN'T shoot it at a 44% clip. "More athletic and all around better basketball player..." Better at what, and what exactly is he doing on the court with it? You're giving Mills this set value and then trying to equate Noah to Mills. When Noah shoots like Mills, we'll talk.

    Per Trilly, Santos trending towards LSU…

    LSU has ONE player right now. He'll be their starter. They're either offering him nearly identical money with significantly more playing opportuniaty. OR As their starting Center, they're offering him even more money. Pope has done a bad job at a lot of things. He deserves criticism...

    John Wall Named President of Basketball Operations at Howard

    If it's a ceremonial title where he just hangs around to be a cool guy to try to help draw kids in--cool. President of Basketball Operations seems so close to GM that...I would assume it's an actual GM type role. And with all due respect to John, I don't think he's done enough (really...

    The UK Job - How Attractive Is It?

    I actually think people overstate the personality and all of the other stuff. There's really only one requirement. Win. Win games. Win SEC regular season championships. Win SEC Tournament championships. Win NCAA tournament games and go to Final 4's. No one is going to care about any of...

    The UK Job - How Attractive Is It?

    I've heard over and over on Twitter that Nate Oats really wants the Kentucky job. And that he will take it if offered. I've also heard that Kyle Tucker and Oats are bro's. And you'll notice Kyle is pulling ZERO punches when it comes to Pope. Some people have suggested Kyle is trying to...

    Meanwhile, Calipari Lite Has the #1 Class Coming In, and Richmond/Thomas might return.

    Donors weren't on board, though. And recruiting was suffering. It probably was only going to get worse. Cal had to leave to get the big NIL. But also, he had REALLY stopped caring/trying here. He frequently made the comments about the NBA draft and generating generational wealth being his...

    Matt Says Mitch Barnhardt deal to get ripped up in a day or two

    I thought this too when I first saw the headline. But man, I think a lot of people are suddenly going to feel like it's time to get out.

    Downgrade

    Zoom>Aberdeen. Kam>Chandler Sophomore Moreno>FROSH Moreno. I know we're negative/gloom and doom. But let's be serious. If you're posting Moreno=Moreno, implying he won't improve going into his 2nd year, you're just looking to doom post. Kam was starting over Chandler before the injury...

    Momcilivic a possibility?

    I'm going to assume they'll pay a lot of money for Milan if we miss on Stokes.

    Colorado PF Sebastian Rancik Visiting Today

    Carr shot 32% from 3 ( on 2 attempts/ game)in his 1 season at UK--as a 5th year senior. Rancik is shooting 33% from 3 on nearly 4 attempts per game. Get him in a better offense with better looks. I think Rancik can be a big time stretch 4 in the Pope offense. I assume we're looking at him to...

    Should we re-offer Travis Perry? I notice he's still sitting out there

    Travis has already met Mark Pope. No way he's coming back.
