Mormons have problematic opinions of black people. And Native Americans for that matter. It’s literally in their scripture. If I were a black person, I’d never want to be associated with a Mormon. I certainly wouldn’t blame any black person who feels wary of one.
When I lived in Idaho Falls for about three years, I knew several black Mormons one was actually senior leader in the church. The bottom line stereotypes is a nasty thing and you just throw that out there honestly makes the site look bad.

Hell naw. You ask any ex Mormon and they’ll tell you they might act nice in front of you but what they say behind your back would make David Duke blush.

No matter how Pope personally feels, he will always be limited in who he is recruiting because some people will not trust Mormons because of their racial biases.
You are truly pathetic. You honestly just don't know when to shut the **** up.

That Mormon cartoon from like the 70s explaining dark complexions did the modern Church of LDS no favors. That said, Pope has the respect of the 96 guys and I've never heard a word against him in a racial regard.

I'll take Pope's living actions over a cartoon from the Cold War any day.

I see everyone talking about "getting these guys to the league"! These guys are going to the league regardless of who coaches them. Cal could recruit good players but HE didn't get them to the league. Look how many guys he kept from moving to the league. I really with the NBA would just get rid of the one year of college rule. It would make the game so much better.

Yes, It says a commitment could be as soon as March 31st, and he hears kansas as the perceived leader

Also said uk could be the spot if kansas falls through
Kinda sounds like "yeah, I'll go to the prom with you as long as the captain of the football team does ask me."

To me, it's really obvious where he's going. I mean, think how hard it is to imagine Stokes, who is super competitive and fiery, playing for Pope. It just doesn't make much sense

Put that dude on ignore like I did, it’s a whole lot more peaceful! He has nothing of value to add, ever. Just negativity.
I have been putting people that never post anything positive on ignore. It's more peaceful and cuts down reading time.

IMO Cal pushed more out too soon than one's he actually helped make it.

Not a big deal but when I lived in Nevada in the 80’s I worked with some Mormons and I’ll tell you they look out strongly for each other and will stab you in the back in a heartbeat.

What the hell are you trying to say?
I was being sarcastic, while pointing out that UK was'the first SEC school to play black football players. If black players dont like UK, which is not the case IMHO, I not sure there is a good reasonfor them to not like UK.
