Kids got a lot of SGA to his game. Great game to watch. But neither team very interested in defense.

I’d like to get a freshman capable of going off for 30+, 3 level scorer with a handle. Maybe our recent run will intrigue the collins & holts & stokes.

yeah wish pope could recruit a four star ANYTHING
Look but munch Moreno is an outstanding center in Jasper is doing just fine himself. Two very good recruits that Pope brought this year in Hawthorne has great potential. I know he's not knocking out of the ballpark but man sometimes people are just bitching about anything

2 four stars

but i was talking about for next year, we have no one 😭
Listen, buddy….I won’t go as hard on you as many others because I know you’re just a kid — and yes I consider 20 years old a kid. The only thing you’ve known your entire life is Calipari, but I really wish you’d try to learn to relax a little and let things play out. Many of these elder statesmen of BBN have unfortunately showed you how to panic exclusively every single second on here and that’s not fair to you. Everything is likely going to be alright, and if it isn’t, we will make a coaching change. Kentucky basketball isn’t going anywhere but you may want to reconsider the idea of comparing every coach to John Calipari — no one else will be able to recruit like that guy did. You’ll either have to realize that or you’re gonna perpetually be disappointed — just being honest. Thankfully, there’s more than one way to win in CBB…try to enjoy the process — if we get through portal season without a roster, we can all panic together. Until then, it’s honestly pretty silly.

Village, at 20 years old, in this age of social media, he knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

You’re probably right, my friend. I always try to subscribe to the idea to ā€œnever ascribe to malice what can be ascribed to ignorance.ā€ It’s actually a part of why am ā€œThe Village Idiot.ā€ I’m willing to be the dumbest or most naive person in the room if it allows someone else to grow.

AKA I’m a loser, according to many. This is how I operate in face to face interpersonal situations so I bring it to these here message boards as well. Many hate it but I feel compelled to do it that way.

i just hate expressing my opinion AS A KENTUCKY FAN and everyone tries to invalidate how i feel
Typical 20 year old who feels they need validation about their feelings from everyone. I hate social media for just this reason. No one cares whether you feel validated or not and your shouldnt care either. Be a freaking man who can express himself and not give 2 fs whether any one else agrees or disagrees. You don't need any else to tell you how you should feel about how you feel. Everyone may have a voice now, but most should just listen and learn and stop being offended by every opposing post.

Sure ...you know and see all. Then laugh. Got it.
didn't say that
1. i called us not getting stokes collins and wilson even though we had predictions for all three

2. i knew we would lose to arkansas last year when everyone thought we would win

3. i knew louisville would kill us this year
