    Expectations if we land Momcilovic?

    Every team that wants to contend must have one superstar. Much will be determined by whether or not MM comes back. But MM is not a dependable scorer so having MOM will fill that need. Then it will be up to the coaching staff to create the chemistry needed to make a run. Either MM or MOM will...

    UK with 17 offers out!

    Like asking 17 girls to the prom and hoping just one has no other option.

    UK player stat projections for next year

    I also disagree that we will not score. This team has better offensive numbers on paper than last year's team . Zoom, Wilkins, and McBride averaged more than anyone we have brought in via the portal in the past and will likely all average in double figures. Hawthorne, Williams, and Moreno...

    UK player stat projections for next year

    McBride will start. Hawthorne will get at least 20 minutes per game and average double digits. Not nearly as confident about N'Diaye .

    Maybe he can handle Chinilu from Florida

    Pope badgers should be ashamed of themselves

    North Carolina has fired not one but two of theirs since Dean Smith retired. So the fact that he played at UK does not mean that he can coach at UK.

    New Low - Duke's Bench Better Than UK's Starting 5?

    Even if they choked they played an entertaining type of basketball and certainly were not down by 20 in multiple games. The end result is not always the only measure of success. Most of us would have been happy with a competitive team than made it to the elite 8 which is something we have not...

    Current Roster Outlook and Expectations

    This unfortunately will be a lower tier SEC team . Almost certainly in the bottom 5 or 6 teams without a go to scorer at this point . Likely a 15 -16 loss team. There is still time to add a couple of scorers but they will need to come from Europe.

    Quaintance Pre Draft workout

    The kid was not performing well in Pope's system and with the surrounding talent somewhat limited. So his handlers and agents decided to pull him from the line up so that any weaknesses would not be exposed. Basically, a Shaedon Sharpe move but certainly supported in part by a coach who...

    Marcios Santos Stats for today’s game that Pope flew 16 hours to watch.

    He looks like he is forty not 24. Does not seem like someone who can really help next year

    Is the team set for next season?

    No No depth at all. Any injury would lead to a 20 loss season. Likely will start season lower in rankings than any team in recent memory. Have to wonder how long major donors will accept this scenario.

    Hearing more and more behind the scenes about Eric Monday, Barnhart and Capilito..

    Breshear is a die hard politician. He only does stuff if there is a political advantage for him. Like a law school dean who is a Republican . Totally unacceptable to a hard core Democrat especially one who seeks to be President of the country.

    Matt Jones says Stokes could announce today or tomorrow

    My guess is Oregon which got in just hours ago. Same happened with St Johns when it was supposed to be Alabama or UK. Have to wonder if Stokes was going to KU and Nike stepped in when he said he did not want to play for Ky due to concern about Pope. And then Nike offered up tons of Nike NIL...

    Blackwell Officially Commits to Duke

    The main issue right now might be money. I don't think Pope has the confidence of the main money people and the golden parachute given to Barnhart has made things even worse. So there is less than half of what was previously given and that has led to being outbid on several players especially...
