Pate has said from the beginning he was only looking at UK due to Hart. It's his only relationship at the college level due to their time together in the G league.
Him wanting to play for Hart is nothing new at all and not in any way a knock on Pope.
š¬ sleeping during the recruiting years of BCG i see... really didnt expect anyone to claim he was doing a better job recruiting.
Pope brought in division 1 players. The bar set by BCG is lower than that somehow.
The pitchforks are out today. You guys shouldn't be so firm in your hatred, it may make you look really stupid in the long run.
Reminds me of the most immature among us who cry and scream at halftime only to see the game flip.
I may end up being wrong, but you crybabies have not been proven...
I believe Pope will get this done. He did a great job last year given the circumstances and anyone reasonable was happy with it.
Flopped this year. No sugarcoating it.
He will learn and adjust. I expect a full turnaround next year.
Cart before the horse...
BCG had division 3 recruits and a record of abuse in the locker room.
Pope is in an era where you can completely change your team in one season.
So let's say he gets the right pieces and makes a run next season... not outside the realm of possibility at all. In fact...
In '24? Ive been around this board since the beginning. Ive always been an arrogant jerk and im not changing my stripes now.
Cant find one single way BCG was better. Do tell...
