He never said he wasn’t interested last talking about you so I guess that means you know you’re an idiot.
They were the tailpipe, windshield wipers and blinker fluid. Nothing important.
Ability to motivate is not a thing .. Now if you want to say Pope didn't identify kids who were motivated then so be it
I don’t agree with you. Coaches across all sports, the greatest ones motivate their players to play at the highest level for them. The ones who can’t struggle.
Pope needs to motivate himself into studying the offense Dan Hurley runs, like seriously study it. Omg, the way those players constantly move to get open, it's more of a European type of offense but a very good one.
Yes it is very nice. It’s like a different level of basketball and talent he runs.
To me it's the defense that has keyed the run to the championship game.
They are guarding on a different level than they did in the regular season.
Michigan under fire for 'bought' roster ahead of national title vs UConn
Michigan's roster is being scrutinized online before their national title game on Monday against the UConn Huskies.

JJ was from Lexington. He was also highly rated. Had UK not taken him this board would have melted down. I cannot blame that on anyone. In fact, it wasn't like he was a starter and could have just been brought along if we had a loaded roster, which we didn't.
BG was an enigma. He was highly rated and had a ton of potential. He just never seemed to "get it."
UK has often had players that simply never did rise to UK levels. Unfortunately for us, this past year was a "perfect storm" on so many fronts.
Curious for those who might answer a question of mine..
When players like JJ, Lowe and Garrison announce they are hitting the portal, does UK or any university for that fact, allow these players to continue to use that schools facilities knowing they are leaving?
If the answer is yes, can anyone explain why this would be allowed?
If players announce they are leaving and continue to use a schools facilities, isn't this like paying for someone to f you?

We had an entire thread basically saying this as well and the response was that if players, parents, families, other posters didn't like it they were a bunch of snowflakes, etc. I thought that was quite sad, to be honest. It says a lot about the way people in our society are being raised.
Whether or not we like it or not aside...
The students technically haven't transferred, even entering the portal doesn't mean they are leaving. They can still choose to return to UK if they don't like the offers in the portal. They are still enrolled at UK as students, meaning they have access to classes, facilities, and all things other students enrolled at UK would have as well. The UK basketball specific training facilities that other students don't have access to, these portal entry players do still have access to, because as stated above, they haven't transferred. They just have announced that they are going to portal and hear other offers.
The absolute key to our problems this season and the reason the two coaches were cut
Thank you.
You threw me for a loop when I read about classes and all. After I watched Carson Beck say he has not been to class in over 2 years and I haven't seen anything from Uk or any other school about what used to be a bid deal, players grade averages and team gpa stuff.
I thought when NIL came, classes might be voluntary now.
Using Evan Miya’s player ratings Pope also chose to start the 1119th player over the 104th lol(Jelly over Mo)lol we were literally starting the 269th ranked portal player
