    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    This. People need to let these dudes go. They came for Cal. They gonna roll with him. Heck, even a legacy player in Reed… who grew up with two parents who played at UK and his dad roomed with Pope and is still close… he wore Arky gear before the game last year. That said EVERYTHING! It...

    POLL: Did Jayden Q do UK dirty?

    Look, this stuff is going to become pretty common place now. UL was pissed bc Adidas and his dad shut star guard Brown down. Their coach couldn't complain too much bc Adidias paid the fee for him to go to UL. Cards didn’t cover a dime. Cost them a pretty good season too when all was said and...

    Moreno is as good as gone...giving Pope a "built in excuse" for next season's failure...

    The built in excuses are over. There won’t be an out, regardless if Moreno bolts or not. Pope was a knee jerk hire by an AD that couldn’t land the big fish. He had an overachieving season followed by one of the most disappointing of my lifetime. Another disappointment on the hardwood with a...

    If we get Mom, Can we all sing Kumbaya?

    I think, as the team is comprised right now, it looks like UK could go anywhere from 16-17 regular season wins. This also assumes the return of Moreno. That may no longer be so certain! Now, the addition of such an elite shooter with size changes that to maybe 21-22 regular season wins. So...

    Tyran Stokes pulls a Zach Calzeda

    This isn’t wrong. UK needed a top flight talent for perception alone.

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

    As a proud alum, I’m just embarrassed by all things UK right now. Our daughter is a sophomore and having a good experience, but even her program is jacked up and massively disorganized… as I hear is a problem with many departments. UK is just a mess on so many fronts. But athletics can’t be...

    Please, without being nasty, explain to me why our recruiting efforts are almost beyond belief ?

    It’s likely a whole slew of things. Some of it linked directly to Mark. Some likely with agents and the JMI perception. Lack of vision is probably another. First, Mark is a very tall (weird but maybe a factor), highly articulate neuroscientist of sorts. He doesn’t speak the language of many...

    New Low - Duke's Bench Better Than UK's Starting 5?

    Duke I think lost 7 games the last two seasons... total! By a total of 22 pts. UK lost at least 6-7 games by double digits this past season alone. There is no comparison between who they are and who we are. Galaxies apart right now. Duke would beat the living crap out of Uk most nights… sad...

    The Center spot ???

    That’s probably one of the biggest issues right now. It’s like Pope only trusts himself, and sadly he’s not resonating with many guys being recruited. He can’t fix this alone.

    Current Roster Outlook and Expectations

    .500 team Consider still that the inevitable slew of injuries will happen and numerous 20 pt plus blowouts will follow. UK will decline NIT and look to hire a new coach in mid to late March. In all seriousness, that’s my expectation based off the island of misfit toys operating right now in...

    Should UK dump Nike and find a brand that will feature us?

    It’s not Nike’s fault that our program is a mess.

    The hatred for Cal is blinding some from seeing reality

    Likely the truth… but Cal going 1/14 ( no tourney in 2020) on titles with the unreal level of talent brought in was still disappointing. He also missed the dance 2 times and had a losing season. Cal had some serious low points amidst some for the great successes!

    Does Pope know?

    No…bc he is a stand up guy who will likely fail at this thing. Never humiliated the university with his personal demons like Clyde and Sutton did… repeatedly! He will likely be looked back on as a great disappointment.

    Stokes to Kansas

    Correct

    Stokes to Kansas

    Barring a miracle season, this could be the nail in the coffin. Don’t want to hear anybody crying for Pope. Top talents don’t want to play for him, period. Love the guy, and he’s been given his chance. Now he must roll a pair of 7s or it’s over.
