    Radical changes needed for UK's Basketball Program

    I will say Pope had a substantial NIL budget and built this roster. Barring major injuries, this season should be good test of his coaching ability. IMO, if we are a top 15 team and make it to the sweet sixteen or better then he earns another year. If we are outside the top 20 and exit the...

    At this pace, how long can we expect to keep Stein?

    I think we have a great coach and he was a fantastic hire. The future is bright. That being said, talk of losing him is extremely premature. He's 4-1 will two wins in OT. We are two "go for 2" plays away from being 2-3.

    Mitchell Not Coming to UK

    For anyone that says this isn't Pope's fault. The recruiting and development of a roster is 100% Pope's responsibility. I would argue Pope did a mediocre job assembling a roster and Mitchell was almost a gift that landed in his lap. I just hope a 19-11 record with a tourney bid and 2nd round...

    No Green Room/Draft invite for JQ

    Someone may draft him on potential, but he is very raw. His skill level will have to improve drastically to ever step foot in an NBA game.

    Pope post on IG

    I believe everyone agrees that Pope will not only have talent, but talent that fits his system. He is getting a fair shot to succeed. If this team has a repeat of chemistry issues and/or doesn't perform then he deserves to be fired. If he takes a talented team to a Great 8 or Final 4 then he...

    There’s Absolutely Nothing Pope Can Do To Make Me Want Him Here

    I literally thought it was a joke when I first heard we hired him as a coach. Admittedly, the first year with a team thrown together quickly I was impressed with the success he had the first year. Everything since that point has reaffirmed my initial reaction was correct. He's just not...

    Pope Flying to Israel

    We need 2-3 studs and a supporting cast. We have zero studs and a supporting class. This is arguably worse than last year even after the injuries. We had one player (Oweh) you could argue was a stud in the last third of the season.

    Stokes to Kansas

    This season is going to get UGLY. i hate that for Ky basketball. Fans are going to treat Pope so bad it could impact recruiting his eventual replacement

    Stokes seems like a great kid. Good luck to him.

    You can’t blame him. Peterson was a drama queen and Self protected him all year and kept him at a top 3 pick. Stokes knows Self and Kansas are the safe bet. Why in the world would you take a chance with Pope

    FIRE MARK POPE

    Agree. Only one option at this point. Pope needs to go. Get Donovan before someone else does

    Every expert says it’s Kansas

    I agree if Pope can’t land a Kentucky kid who has a Nike contract then he just needs to resign. Literally the only positive is we could be so bad he gets fired mid season to give Donovan more time to prepare for the following season.

    Stokes announcing at 6:30 EST

    The most drama I ever recall with a recruit deciding/announcing was Terrence Jones. That "drama queen" worked out pretty well for us. Don't worry about this drama, we want this talent

    Feels like the program is dead.

    Not dead, but on life support. It will take a coaching hire like the previous hires of Pitino and Cal to reinvigorate the program. At this point, whiff on Stokes go 16-16 and fire Pope. Hope Donovan takes a year off and go get him at any cost.

    Blackwell Officially Commits to Duke

    Everyone rags on Scheyer, but every single one of us would take Scheyer over Pope in a heartbeat. Duke has a chance to win a championship every year. They were one fluke play away from a Final Four. They were one of the only teams to beat the eventual national champion Michigan.

    Would you take Tounde Yessoufou Over Stokes?

    Well, if you believe the info that Nike is footing some or most of the Stokes NIL deal then these are not mutually exclusive. You try to get both.
