    MO WILLIAMS HIRED AS AN ASSISTANT

    He’s a solid choice, IMO. I think he’s Pope’s best hire so far. I’m basing my opinion on him as a player & a person more so than his time at Jackson St., though. He has the criteria to be a good coach, IMO. He was a cerebral PG & a team leader at the highest level. He understands the game as...

    Mark Pope

    Embarrassing! I’ve bitten my tongue all year bc I did nothing but complain about Calipari since 2018 & I don’t want to be perpetually negative. But, he HAS to go. Today was just inexcusable. The season is on the line, you catch a massive break with ISU’s best player out & you sh*t your pants in...

    ***** Kentucky vs Iowa State Game Thread *****

    I’ve been watching since 1978 & this will go down as one of the most embarrassing losses I’ve seen. It’s bad enough to lose to any team that is missing its best player. But, to get run out of the gym with the season on the line is next level humiliation. Especially, considering we were up 12 at...

    Moreno’s vice grip mitts strike again. Holy sh*t this team is hard to watch.

    Both can be true. I don’t like this team at all & I think this is the dumbest UK team I’ve ever seen. But, the whistle has been extremely one sided, today, IMO.

    This team could be really good if they were just a little less, monumentally, stupid & careless. We’d be a top 3 seed if that wasn’t the case, IMO.

    Moreno has to have the weakest hands I’ve ever seen on a big.

    Man, when I was in my late teens & 20s I could play all day, going 100%, without getting fatigued. And, I was nowhere nearly as conditioned as these guys. No way these guys are gassed after 10 minutes of game play.

    What do you mean?! They are the 3rd best WCC team. Be happy we’re hanging with them. Idk what some of y’all expect.

    Wonder if this is true?

    You don’t consider Yaxel a superstar? Michigan got him for $3M. And, as far as I know, only a few guys were paid considerably more. I agree about needing a superstar. But, I think they can be had for far less than $7M. And, personally, I wouldn’t want to give that kind of money to an unproven...

    Wonder if this is true?

    Ellis looks legit, IMO. Very skilled with good size & athleticism. It’s hard to tell from highlights but he seems to be a good passer with nice vision & awareness, too. I’m always leery of leagues overseas bc I just don’t follow them & don’t know enough to form an educated opinion. And, the...

    Wonder if this is true?

    That’s part of my point. BYU & those types of schools do have to seriously overpay to land big time recruits. And, I don’t even mind overpaying. But, we should never have to double or triple offers & act desperate, either. Just kinda frustrating after hearing Yaxel’s comments. Idk if that’s...

    Wonder if this is true?

    Totally agree. No way I’d give Stokes $7M. I don’t believe that anyway. But, he’s not worth that. He is a great player, but, for $7M you can add 2-3 guys who would make a similar or bigger impact. With probably half the headache, too. I get strong team cancer vibes from Stokes. I’d definitely...
