other than Moreno we are better off if all the others leave. Chandler can come of the bench for 10 min a night if hes willing but don't break the NIL bank on him for that. plenty of spot up shooters that can come off the bench in the portal. I don't know if there are players good enough in the portal good enough to make us top 10. I think not. we are in trouble.

What's so great about Moreno? Did you see the rebounding today?

It is as long as Pope is here and the admin and fans accept that. But he’s a good man, so give him a decade to figure this out. Maybe he’ll get in the top 4 once within that time period.
Yeah "train wreck" means "all hands on deck, the ship is sinking, lets save this"...

What I see is an athletic department that has accepted, and is okay with mediocrity as long as revenue stays solid.

If Cal were still here and we were getting a 4 or 5 seed with a backcourt featuring Acuff and Thomas, we'd probably be pining to fire him lol

Just wait til next year Charlie Brown. Pope is gonna deliver the Great Pumpkin, you’ll see and then we will see who’s laughing. We have tons on absolute dogs coming next year to run zoom action and single high ball screens.
Sounds like Kentucky football.

... Is a TOTAL rebuild, at this point. Players that WANT to stay and think they collect the same NIL have to be kicked into the portal. If not renegotiate everything.
I was wondering about that what if they have a 2 year contract if we dont honor it that might hurt recruiting i guess recruiting could not get any worse also could the player sue for breach of contract

Kentucky deserves better than Pope or Cal. 4 or 5 seeds would be OK if the coach wasn’t a total ***. Cal is t worth it if he’s not winning huge. He’s just such a gigantic ***.

Agree ... recruiting is non-existent at this point. Pope will be trying to resign once he gets a good look at the prospects for year three.
