Interesting thing is that outdated information that OP posted actually says Kentucky is the front runner with Arkansas picking up steam. Interesting which part of that he wanted to emphasize. Pay attention people.

And yes…nine months old, has no bearing on the reality of today’s situation.
He’s one of the biggest idiots on this site .

The short term memory of some on here is absolutely laughable.

Mark Pope has yet to Oakland us. He has yet to Saint Peter’s us. He has yet to UNC-Wilmington us. He has yet to 9-16 us. He has yet to NIT us.

I don’t believe Pope is the man for the job, but the people on here sucking John Calipari’s d*ck are absolutely pathetic after the shape he left our program in. He wasn’t recruiting Acuff and Stokes types here anymore, he was recruiting Devin Askew and Kahlil Whitney. He got fat and happy at UK, and the only reason he’s motivated at Arkansas is because UK fans ran his sorry *** out of town. Prior to that he was content to play with his dog rather than try to win SEC tournaments, and copped an attitude when UK fans called him out for it.
I’d like to add , he’s beaten a barely ranked Vandy team the entire post season. That’s it . He also had the 13th most difficult sec schedule.
I fully expect him to lose to the first good team he faces just like he has every year since 2015 . The only exceptions have been when he’s lost to bad teams .

Did you love Cals last five years? Because that’s why he had to leave.

Stokes to Arkansas solidifies the Mitch downgrade, especially if Acuff takes Cal to the Elite Eight or beyond.

Surely Mitch can't feel like he did this program any favors. He's a snake in the grass. I can't stand him. He's single-handedly destroyed Kentucky basketball.
If Cal wants, Cal gets..

I get not liking Pope, but thinking Cal was getting it done for us is a whole 'nother level of stupid. He was washed, and we kicked his *** this year with Kyrie Irving 2.0 running point for him.
