I’m sorry! I just don’t see it. If he turns this team into anything, I would be shocked. My hunch is that he won’t and this will be his last year at the helm. Love Pope but he ain’t it. What will Stein is doing proves that coaching matters.
Don’t care! If you think building around a guy who asked to be the 2nd highest price tag at UK and want to blame Pope for him leaving, you’re delusional. He’s not that good and UK needs to do better.
This thread poured lava on my soul! At least warm weather is coming! I’ll be back for next year, I can’t help it. I will cling to any glimmer of hope that UK can someday return to its previous status of being Elite! I am like you all, painfully cursed with Kentucky fandom.
