    For the amount of money many of you spend on tickets…

    You can’t tell me how to fan. I’m installing a batting cage/pitching simulator with my savings so cope & seethe over that, pseudo fan. I swear ppl will get offended by ANYTHING. Lmao

    I agree. Roster construction is the main reason I’m so down on Pope. Last year’s roster & the one he’s building now both seriously lack the main ingredients needed to maximize the potential of zoom action. Lots of good perimeter shooting & quick ball movement is required & he loads up on average...

    He’d probably choose the gulag, willingly, if he was down to us & that.

    Possible Moreno replacement

    Even before learning the glorious lore behind this name, I thought to myself that if any one name could perfectly encapsulate the essence of Mark Pope’s recruiting aura, it’s freaking GLEB!

    According to Goodman these school leading for Momcilovic

    I would hope not. But, that’s what I inferred from that quote. “It’ll take deep pockets to land him” & it’s down to UL & St John’s. Made it sound like we can’t compete with them on the money. Doesn’t make sense considering how much UL has already spent & that we don’t really have any super...

    According to Goodman these school leading for Momcilovic

    We should have plenty of money. If donors are truly freezing out Pope then they need to go ahead & fire him. What’s the point, otherwise? It’s not fair to Pope, the team OR the fans to withhold money, NOW. And, there’s no need to waste a season & bring him back if he doesn’t have the support...

    Moreno Interview

    That’s a little over the top, too. But, closer to reality than the things I listed. Jmo. WITH Moreno I think it’s a 19-13 (8-10) type team. Without Moreno, 15-20 losses isn’t out of the question, IMO.

    Moreno Interview

    I’ve seen ppl say that our starting 5 is as good as UL & UT. I’ve seen ppl say we are one Momcilovic away from being a FF team. Gotta have a pretty great roster to be one player away. Ppl have said that we have the best backcourt in the country & the best at UK since Fox & Monk. I’ve even seen...

    Moreno Interview

    What do you mean? The roster is great. I’ve read that on here for weeks. You must be such a miserable person, with no friends. Negative, negative, negative.

    BB: Allen Graves update

    If it wasn’t his family or if he wasn’t a LA native it would be something else. Ppl still making excuses even after Pope has missed on literally every top target he’s gone after. But, none of them are his fault & there are countless, valid reasons why. Did it matter that we had plenty of money...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    Yeah, I know his history & it’s still shocking, lol. UK is really the first job he’s had where he’s even in a position to consistently go after elite guys. I mean, nobody is bringing studs to Utah Valley & I assumed it would be pretty tough at BYU, too, til Young proved otherwise. Pope got some...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    His struggles in recruiting here are shocking to me. I wasn’t expecting him to pick up where Calipari left off, but, holy hell. These last two cycles for both HS recruits AND portal players have been a nightmare. He’s not only missing on literally every top target, but, he’s also taking several...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    I think the first name sounds like Oose monn. Last name is correct as far as I know.

    Let's see where we stand

    Possibly Momcilovic & Graves, if they withdraw from the draft. So, technically, they aren’t even really options yet. But, there’s not much beyond that. I voted “barely make the NCAAT & 1st rd exit”. I think we’re a bubble team in a 76 team field, with the roster as is. Feels like a 19-13 (8-10)...

    BB - Washington Center Kepnang commits to UK

    I hope you’re right. We’ll see, I guess. You’d think he would’ve adapted this past season when it was clear he didn’t have the personnel to run zoom action. It’s not just my opinion that good perimeter shooting is required for that system to thrive. It’s just a fact. Same goes for quick ball...
