    Liam Campbell - Top 100 recruit, Idaho HS Player of the Year

    You say “80th ranked kid” as a bad thing. Go look at the rankings of guys in UConn’s last few classes. You’re still in complete Calipari mode. Yes we want to go after top tier guys but you also go after guys like this.

    Aly Khalifa enters transfer portal with "do not contact" tag

    To be fair it’s been like 2 days lol. He can’t really recruit yet as most are already signed. Yes portal guys but he’s also brand new to UK. I’m more interested and think it’s a sign of the future on how he recruits during/ after next season and who he brings in from the portal then.

    Aly Khalifa enters transfer portal with "do not contact" tag

    I think he was just commenting to your comment stating he could shoot, we really needed him etc. Im all aboard the Pope train and expect hurdles the first year but this guy from BYU will not be very good if he plays for us. Role player. A big body. Not much more. And that’s okay.

    Let’s Build A Staff and Roster

    It would be awesome but Reed himself doesn’t really have a connection to Pope. Reed is a 19 year old kid. His dad played with Pope 30 years ago. I’m just not sure that’s enough to keep him from the draft with him being predicted lottery and high as 5-7. That’s like $20 million dollars lol. It’d...

    Fland and Quaintance playing against the World

    He’s Great assument. I fully expect them both to follow Calipari but that’s okay. We will see. But just to clarify did you think we were going to go to the Final Four or win a Title next year because of Fland? Or do you think Calipari and Arkansas will go the the Final Four or win a title...

    Fland and Quaintance playing against the World

    Hmm. I’m a bit intrigued by your comments on Fland. Did you expect a Final Four or a championship next year? I certainly didn’t. It seemed like most of us realized UK was going to be pretty lackluster next season had Calipari stayed. Do you think Calipari will win a championship or get to the...

    Fland and Quaintance playing against the World

    I’m not really sure “Cal’s success getting them drafted” is accurate. Calipari did not “get them drafted”. Calipari recruited them, en masse, to come play for Kentucky. He just recruited exclusively freshman for his teams every year. It’s not like had 10 of them gone to Arizona, or Miami or USC...

    Fland and Quaintance playing against the World

    How so? I’d love to have him at UK lol.

    This is all feels very deliberate, and very smart.

    Definitely. I think I’ll care a lot more this season. Last few years I’ve not really cared.

    Let’s guess the attendance of the presser tomorrow

    That’s one way of looking at it. A misguided approach for sure though. Fans were sick of Calipari for several reasons. One of those reasons being Calipari verbally admitted (brazenly) that his main focus was to “change generational poverty (incredibly offensive honestly), get guys to the NBA...

    Big z in portal

    That’s exactly it I think. He’s not a for sure One and Done and he is the type than can stay for 2-3 years and be super solid. That’s why we all like him so much.

    Big z in portal

    Kentucky has an NIL of at least $4 million so far.

    Poll: The national media has weighed in. Kentucky should be “humbled” by the hiring of Pope. Are you “humbled”?

    Perfectly said. Although I do think some of our ( well meaning) fans now realize we can’t just pluck whoever we want simply “because we’re Kentucky” or that “any coach will crawl over broken glass” to get here. If Drew and Hurley were out despite trying, Donovan seemingly not interested. Oats...
