    Jasper johnson nears commitment after peach jam

    We do not know how Pope's offense will perform in the SEC. Pope's offense is inside out. Cal's offense was supposed to be inside out, but Cal never got away from dribble drive. Pope wants to get shots inside the paint or else from three. The philosophy makes sense in terms of shot...

    So whats our weakness this year?

    The ultimate question will turn out to be how well Pope and Brooks recruit and adapt. I trust that he can coach a game because I have seen him do it. He is smart and he knows the game. It is always about the talent level fitting into the system. There are 7 seniors on this team so available...

    Nate Ament

    I feel pretty good about Moreno and Johnson but don't know what to say yet about filling out the class. I count 7 seniors on the roster so we need a big class that contributes at a high level.

    Short practice reel

    I am thinking maybe we have a couple of program pillars in Colin Chandler and Brandon Garrison.

    Pope “lifts us up”

    I think so too. It will be very disappointing if he does not.

    So whats our weakness this year?

    Our weakness this year is baseline depth. Our strength is wing depth. Cold shooting days will get ugly, but our team is capable of pulling some upsets. I do not think this is a great Kentucky team. But we will not regress from the recent Cal teams. How long will it take Pope to build a...

    We’re getting carried away step back

    Mark Pope said yesterday that Barnhart has done a "remarkable" job at Kentucky and should be appreciated for it by our fans. Pope went into detail and gave good examples. Being enough of a Barnhart hater to post this toxic OP, you will probably rationalize what Pope said because it does not...

    Points per game estimates. What say you?

    How can anyone come close to knowing this? New roster, haven't played together before. Most of these players have not even played in this system before, and we have no idea how playing time will be split up. I will be interested to see.

    Pope with his daughter on the recruiting trail

    Wow! I just watched a replay of Pope's press conference. He is a VERY personable, intelligent, impressive man and coach. I listen to him and I do believe he will recruit well at the SEC level. His players will enjoy playing for him.

    Interesting take from a life long hog fan

    For some reason you are forgetting all the transfer players Cal has at Arkansas now have an additional year of experience. They will be better than they were last year. Aidoo is not a slight improvement. He is a big improvement because he is a very physical interior player who defends...

    Interesting take from a life long hog fan

    Cal's first Arkansas roster is loaded. It is a tick or two better than his last roster at Kentucky. Whether or not Cal beats us next season, it is an unbelievable blessing and a new awakening for Kentucky sports just to be out from under that awful contract.

    Interesting take from a life long hog fan

    Yes, but he is someone else's problem now. Cal and Barnhart were not getting along. Kentucky fans were fed up. Getting out from under that contract may turn out to be one of the best things that's ever happened to Kentucky sports. If Pope is an immediate success, that might be icing on the cake.

    Kansas officially out for Jaxson?

    Which is why Pope has to take Lanier if he can get him. Rather have him playing for us than playing against us in orange, if that is what it comes down to. But I really want Jaxson Robinson because of his length and versatility.

    Small Forward spot

    Brea is a guard all the way. Not enough muscle to defend most forwards. Oweh is potentially the best defender on our team, all due respect to Williams and Butler who will be in that conversation too. Oweh can do it. Would not bet against Almonor. Trent Noah might be capable if he can move...
