    Kentucky is Near the Bottom of the SEC in Athletic Donations...

    I mean is that confirmed or is that just the assumption everyone makes?

    BB: Allen Graves update

    you guys are operating on this mindset that if a recruit spurns us, it has to be Pope but the guy is saying his choices are Duke and LSU LSU hasn't done jack in basketball in forever, has been in 1 final four in the last *40* years. so its not this kid is I'll go anywhere just to not play...

    Kentucky is Near the Bottom of the SEC in Athletic Donations...

    I expressed that concern on here 2 years ago , saying that I was worried schools like St. Johns would end up with a huge bank while Kentucky would eventually struggle - and I was assured that would never happen at Kentucky. IMO, and without anything to base it on as fact, I believe that the...

    Pope's SRS (performance vs schedule) average for 2 seasons at UK is 20.19

    I'm glad there is something positive but it doesn't pass the eye test for fans who watched Gonzaga/North Carolina

    sounds like UK is about to become the Cincinnati Reds of College Basketball big fans/small cap

    Pope's SRS (performance vs schedule) average for 2 seasons at UK is 20.19

    I'd agree, you can't be getting bombed by 20 points and not be competitive one night and then beat a final four team 2 days later. At any rate, at least that comparison provides some hope. I honestly think last year, Pope badly misjudged the kids he recruited and he wasn't prepared to deal with...

    With Cal, UK was at least part of the story (recruiting/draft). Feels like we're starving now on all fronts.

    I think UK fans angst is making it the story, not so much Pope's lack of closure on recruiting. I still believe there is a possibility that we end up with a good team when all is said and done and all this hand wringing about what Pope can do in recruiting will be marginalized. To me its just...

    Hypothetical Jai Lucas Question for Those Opposed

    so the logic is, he looks like he is the guy but he hasn't proven yet, and because of that he has earned the right to be the coach at Kentucky.

    Hypothetical Jai Lucas Question for Those Opposed

    I remember when Shaka Smart was the guy, lots of Jai Lucas vibes from people wanting him to be a coach. He went to a final four with VCU and hasn't been talked about since.

    Hypothetical Jai Lucas Question for Those Opposed

    How does Lucas move the needle for coaching at UK? no one is looking for "well he'd be better than Pope". That's not an acceptable answer. Look at his schedule with w/l's last year and see if you'd be satisfied with what his team did. There are alot of assumptions about what he *can* do, not...

    Pope on X - let’s talk. Round 3 Q & A KAM starting?

    Magloire52 its a damned if you do, damned if you don't with Pope on communicating with the fans. You know he doesn't want to do it but there is so much pressure right now on the state of the program he has been talked into it. the easiest thing to do is to own it. I'd say , look I know there...

    Pope on X - let’s talk. Round 3 Q & A KAM starting?

    Say what you will about KSR but two things stand out recently they led the charge about how corrupt it felt with Barnhart getting a retirement golden parachute to do nothing now Barnhart is walking away and just a few days ago, they were all over social media talking about how we'd heard...

    Per Trilly, Santos trending towards LSU…

    honestly, at this point Pope is acting like its his own money he is spending. Everyone says UK has plenty of money but has anyone really verified it? Maybe he is severely limited in NIL and no one wants to admit it? Everyone at Kentucky is in circle the wagons mode from the President on down.

    Was it the Southern Conference back then?
