    Moreno Tweet

    I’ve heard all this before, and I’ve seen ratings for the NBA fall into laughable numbers. The NBA is probably the most boring product in all of sports, and most people I meet anywhere say the same thing when it comes up, online or in person. I’ve never met a die hard NBA fan anywhere these days...

    Moreno Tweet

    To even think about taking Moreno says a lot about the NBA today. There’s a reason you can ask 500 sports fans and most say they pay no attention.

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    The statistics you point out are totally nonsensical. You are leaving out the most important variables which means those stats are completely void of context and don’t fit inside anything that would be acceptable from any sort of academic standpoint. I hope you understand that. You’re wanting to...

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    The reason is not simply a year 2 coaching record. It’s not ridiculous the only ridiculous thing is how some don’t seem to comprehend anything past a coach in his second year “doesn’t get fired”. First of all in the NIL era at serious programs you are going to see that way more in the future...

    Mark Pope 46-26 63.8% after 2 seasons at UK

    It’s amazing to me how off some of this stuff is. Pope is NOT YOUNG. He is not EARLY IN HIS CAREER. lol. Why are you comparing Pope to guys on that list? Pope is working on his SECOND DECADE COACHING. His 2nd -4th years in coaching he was terrible for UK standards. He is still TERRIBLE for UK...

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

    He was throwing games. He wanted all of his demands met and when it didnt happen he went Lazy and said fine we’ll just grab some Wheelers. Anyone notice how the second Calipari leaves Kentucky he’s suddenly a few made shots from the final four? A lot of people just never understood him...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    I’m not going to say that I don’t get a little hot n bothered by UK basketball. I grew up watching with my Uncle Rubel, he’d always tell me it’s better without the teeth in. He’d always think it was funny to say! I never understood how takin his teeth out made basketball easier! Until I got...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    Mark wasn’t a good recruiter at any stop he’s been at. When he first got to BYU, they weren’t expecting what they do now. I don’t think Mark has ever signed a top 20 player. Not sure he’s signed a top 25 player. Best recruits he’s ever pulled were given due to being in state kids. And one of...

    Kyle Wiltjer on N'Diaye

    When you are 0-40ish on all top prospects you’ve gone after, then don’t talk to me about a guy that is your back up back up option. All of his pickups better be undercover diamonds. Coming up the guys that just continued to make excuses for this will look back and wonder what the hell they were...

    Let's see where we stand

    For sure. This isn’t like the tubby era. First of all, it doesn’t matter what they say. They’ve been down our throats forever. Why would you hold back over that? Makes no sense. They destroyed us over Tubby, and what happened? We became the top destination over night. So what? Second of all...

    Let's see where we stand

    Which I don’t get. Calipari was perfect for UK, the hard assed Italian take no prisoners, hated across the country, UK type guy. Why does anyone want the opposite? Calipari’s mistake was going all in on “forget the program all player” routine. He didn’t have to do that to recruit well, it was a...

    Let's see where we stand

    The most ridiculous thing that has ever been said by anyone associated with UK is “greatest AD we’ve ever had”. That man had nothing to do with campus investments, mega deals, nothing to do with it at all. As a matter of fact Kentucky is the only Sec program running behind the new era DUE TO...

    Let's see where we stand

    I see a lot of people looking at this like it’s 2001. They just aren’t moving with the times. This is mega money pro sports, you don’t sit around at a program like Kentucky when the coach is this bad and a terrible recruiter. Media has been all over this talking about a potentially bad fit...

    Let's see where we stand

    The issues with Pope are about recruiting. He is a flat out terrible recruiter and it isn’t changing. In the NIL era with UK resources and cash available he shouldn’t be half this bad. New era, terrible recruiter, you fire him and nobody wouldn’t understand that. Hubert went to a final four at...

    Franck Kepnang: Jackie Robinson award winner.

    I’ve heard from someone that would know that he’s nice enough but has an arrogance to him that is off putting. He expects the red carpet but hasn’t earned it. Not very appreciative of things like they thought he would be. I think Mark has an odd personality and his ego went a bit off the rails...
