One thing Iāll say in our favor is that his only profile info on Instagram is āChrist Follower.ā Hurley may still get him, but Pope is probably better at getting the outwardly religious kids.
I knowā¦..Iām reaching. š¤·š¼āāļø
In my mind, this is why he and Rob are on campus at the same time. Rob has already verbally committed and Pope wants to show stokes who his PG will be. Just me reading tea leaves with no intel.
Agreed on who is leaving. I have no idea about Stokes, though I assume itās not here. And count me in the group that thinks some retention is REALLY important. Especially for a system guy like Pope.
My first Kentucky basketball memory was the Laettner shot. So, Pitino. I recently had my daughter watch the ā92 game. She was cheering so hard against Duke last weekend. š
This. I never understood that hire. I know he gave pope his first job, but thatās not why you hire a guy. He seems nice enough, but nice doesnāt coach defense.
And whatās interesting is teams like Iowa, Purdue, Illinois donāt have much 5-star talent. They arenāt all super athletic. They are skilled, have high basketball IQ, and are well-coached.
I donāt think they will, actually. Historically, the team that wins it all doesnāt struggle with their opening round game. And Arizona looks spectacular. Or maybe Iām just telling myself this to numb the pain.
Polacheckās report said ABās contract wasnāt renewed. So that sounds like he was let go. No one said one way or the other (as far as I can see) about Hart.
Iāve never had any confidence in what Mark Fox brings. I remember his subpar performance at Georgia. Thatās not who you need coaching at...
