Pope’s latest tweet
- Thread starter UKJenning
- Start date
I am still waiting for this team to make BBN proud...
If Dedan Thomas is first, I may just become a monk.
I’m afraid that Pope going to work means that we are about to overpay for AAC and OVC players that were the best 6-7th players on their middle of the standings team.
"Let's go to work"
Sounds like something Mark Stoops would say.

Let’s go to work feels like something Mitch told him to say while flying, just slob dawg and Poops used to do after a disappointing season end.
Lets say Pope gets good portal class and lands Stokes. Okay good, he checked one off.
Then the the next question is, how confident are you that Pope can utilize that talent to win games?

I don’t believe he has the ability to connect with and coach star talent honestly.
A player like Stokes would give Pope fits.
Pope couldn’t get a bunch of role players to play together, and they chose to play hard and play defense when they wanted to.
You think he can get a couple of studs to listen to him?
I wish MP the absolute best, though it’s like watching a tin soldier go into the teeth of a dragon…going to be a sight to behold, this upcoming season.
Pope’s first UK team were as together as a team I’d seen at UK in quite awhile. They played hard all the time, so you’re point is moot.
And this years team was as not together as any I’ve seen at UK in a while.
Pope can‘t close the deal on star players so the topic is moot.
Another GD injury case, please make it stop.
100% Agree.
This is correct but they also lost and gave up the same way as this years team did too. So this point is also moot if you don't consider that additional nuance.
A Zoom Call? lmao
You don't zoom call the best players in the portal. You wine and dine them.
Another injury prone player why am I not surprised and while I'm at it I wouldn't be surprised if Pope don't over pay for him just like he did for the whole team last year!
Who is Lori Williams. Lady should go back to the kitchen. Last year we had players from Alabama, Florida, etc

Who's your guy at PG?
Thomas has issues but he is #3 PG in the portal.
And some want to argue about how smart pope is. I still say he’s a dumbass.
I don't have one at this point. i just want healthy players especially at the PG position.
Pope's Zoom call with Dedan Thomas earlier this morning:
SOLD FOR 3 MILLION.....
If this dude cashed a third a of the checks his mouth writes, he’d been playing in the game last night!
Stop “tweeting”, and land some damn studs!

JQ had issues and he was the #3 Big in the portal… And?
He's been talking since he got here about knowing the assignment. Well his assignment going into year 3 has only best gotten him to the sweet 16 with a bunch of blowout losses compiled in 2 years. I'm with you just quit talking and show us the business... He needs to be ruthless but he doesn't have it in him and that's the biggest problem.
It's all about how long you wait to pull the trigger on an offer.
Better players could enter.
Johnson from Colorado is another SoCal kid like Dent so I really don't like Pope's chances there.
If you didn’t see that pope was a walking disaster by beginning year 2, please, take part in festivities, but no more opinions in forceful ways. If this was not within your abilities, it’s incredible.
Does Pope know it’s his job to get to work?
So, any pg will work, you're ONLY request, is that they are healthy?
You don't want the #3 pg, because he broke a bone in his foot before?
I mean, I am worried about injuries, but Thomas isn't some frail, undersized kid.
All I see in this thread, is a bunch of dudes that are going to complain about everything Pope does and everyone he signs.
How do you complain about Dedan Thomas? Okay, he had a foot injury, all he's doing is talking to the guy. Chill the F out. I still want him though.
However, there were some funny a$$ memes in here though, not gonna lie.

Why are we not getting top PG in the portal rather than settling for the #3 PG with an injury history
Pope finally starting to tweet, now he & his staff should go on KSR or another radio show not within the JMI walled garden. Remember when that used to happen? Why so secretive?
Right now it's Johnson from Colorado.
A SoCal kid can be a hard sell to Lexington.
All the West Coast schools need PG's also.
Then there is still the Stokes factor.
Are we holding back big offers so we still have the money for him
Should have already been settled but that topic is another thread.
Pope said the call was 'beautiful'. Pope said he was concerned with fatigue.
Quick question you want him? As in, as the starting PG on Kentucky?
Lori Mills is a top basketball analyst and highly regarded recruiting expert for the local YMCA sports league and ESPN.Who is Lori Williams. Lady should go back to the kitchen. Last year we had players from Alabama, Florida, etc
