    Jasper Johnson to the Portsl

    I see his potential but he needs at least several more years to mature physically and psychologically and we don't have time to wait. It is what it is.

    Mason Williams to UK

    I like it. That is all.

    CMP show 23 March 2026

    That last remark about the 1% of negative fans sounded a lot like what Barnhart says. It's a little more than 1%.

    Stop with the "I want this coach"

    Pathetic. That's their problem.

    Who returns? Your guess?

    Others manage to do it. Pope spread the wealth too far this year and didn’t land a star player. Lowe's injury was unexpected. JQ is another story and that money could have been bundled with money we paid a mediocre player for a star player.

    Stop with the "I want this coach"

    Temperment is key and in the end will be Pope's downfall. As mentioned by the OP, an absolute Alpha is imperative and nothing less will do. How many elite, top tier coaches throughout history are primarily intellectual, philosophical and super nice people? Maybe a few but by far the most...

    Who returns? Your guess?

    If Pope brings back Garrison or Johnson then he just isn't serious about fielding an elite team. Even if they are backups. My guess is Pope brings Garrison back out of misguided loyalty but Jasper won't accept a bench role and Pope musters enough spine to let him go.

    Worst hire than Billy G. If true (Posted April 2024)

    I wasn't. Was dead wrong. Had hope in Pope. I want him to succeed here as much as anyone but I have come to the conclusion he just isn't the right person to kill it here. And thats what the program needs. I hope this post comes back next spring and I'm dead wrong again but I just don't see it...

    What a team!!

    That team had us beat. Had us beat. Took a miracle shot to be moving on.

    If J.Q. had any honor

    There sure are a lot of jaded, cynical, ignorant armchair qb's in here.

    Pope is getting killed by the Media

    It was a very public way to get the team privacy.

    JQ Returning

    By all accounts Pope and JQ are high character individuals. I refuse to believe this situation is anything other than a calculated gamble, a risk, a hope, that didn't play out as desired. A serious knee injury, surgery and recovery for someone as large, as powerful and as explosive as JQ is...

    Santa Clara Vs Kentucky Team Comparison

    We will win if we make a decent % on 3's and don't allow one of their shooters to have a career night like we've seen too many times over the years (sigh).

    Does anyone else think Pope will do this?

    Strength is important but there is no replacement for talent and skill. Our overall talent level is the problem. Look at Ament from TN. He's slender but highly skilled and will flourish at the next level. That's what we need more of. Not a bunch of hulks with mediocre talent.
