Exactly. And I’m not a Pope pumper, I’m in the camp he is in over his head and will never be Elite. Chandler wanted star money and also would have started if he were to come back, for us to be good we need an upgrade and now we have a chance to get it.
Were not going to get it brother

Mark Pope has to be aware his future depends upon getting top ranked recruits through any means-Portal, High School, overseas. There is no secret this next season will be make or break. I have to believe he will convince the powers that be to spend whatever it takes.

Those carrying on about his poor coaching may be right but where were they before this season? Everyone was mad at the experts when it was suggested we were not a top 5 team or weren't going to win the SEC. Jelavic was going to be awesome. Chandler was going to really improve. Oweh was coming back. J.Q. was a pro in waiting. Noah was a dead-eye 3 point shooter. Jasper Johnson was a 5 star offensive juggernaut, etc. You all (including me) expected this. So the difference in belief and outcome was so much of a disaster it tainted the prior season where many of the same people here were praising Pope for the accomplishment of building a team after Cal had f'd us.

My hope is Pope gets those truly top 10 Portal players and others in the different positions especially in the front court. If he lands the top talent and wins everyone here will change their tune next season. Time will tell in the next few weeks and expectations can be based upon who will be playing for us.
Not everyone. Lot of us saw the flaws even before the Purdue exhibition.

I think I heard there are over 2000 players in the portal. KU, UNC, UL … a lot of teams don’t have rosters the first week of April. So many idiots on this board wanted last year’s team gone and now we get idiots complaining about roster turnover. The Doom Patrol can’t keep its story straight except that it is always mad at Mark Pope.

This board is full of a bunch of cucks that can’t complain about anything irl. Sure I like chandler is he worth more than we’ve ever paid for anyone other than oweh HELL NO. Stop it we the nonsense “our we even gonna have enough players to field a team” the portal just opened very few have committed.

Definitely a Pope pumper and D-Bagg that has no idea what good basketball is!
lol…just because I refuse to piss and moan every single chance I get doesn’t make me a fan of the current state of our program. I’m just as frustrated as the next person but I refuse to sit here for the next 365 days and act like an absolute moron like a lot of the cry babies you see on this board who like to whine and complain just to get validation or attention. I’ve been a UK since 1995 so I’m way more credible than you anyway!

Crap like this is why I haven’t been around in a while. Nobody is happy right now. But this post and others like it add absolutely nothing of worth and are pathetic attention grabs.
Threads like this one only have one intent and that’s to create a bunch of drama. Adds no substance — the whole point of the thread is “people that don’t agree with me should be silenced.”

I dont want the job

Can you name everyone our current roster, please?
The portal just opened, numnutz.
Do you want Pope to just sign guys without properly interviewing them to find out if they fit? He's trying to negotiate deals and you're over here acting like a spoiled brat that wants his cookie now, so you start another one of these idiotic threads.

Most of y'all who don't even like pope are being pretty level headed in this thread, I give props to you. hopefully we do it right this year.last years team had too much turmoil.So maybe it's good that alot of the players left from last year's team. Hawthorne and potter are known as decent three point shooters, so if they stay that's fine and you can probably keep them cheaper because not knowing what they can produce.

LOL @ Poop interviewing players "to see if they fit". He will take anyone and everyone he can, at twice their market value.

Don't get it twisted, the PLAYER is interviewing HIM, and in most cases, it doesn't work well for the clown in command.

We are in a dead period, no visits allowed until after tomorrow. A lot of questions will be answered next week. I suspect most players want to check out the campus before committing. But in this pay to play era...who knows?

Sad times. We dont even have a roster!!

Cant wait to get a coach that knows what hes doing.
Pope doesn’t even pump himself these days. He knows he’s up against it. I mean, the guy hasn’t landed anyone lost everyone.

Okay, cool, you're entitled to your opinion, but couldn't you just post that in any of the thousand other "I hate Mark Pope, he sucks" threads?

I wouldn’t be opposed to merging and perhaps even pinning one giant Mark Pope sucks thread so every thread doesn’t turn into a Mark Pope sucks thread. It was the exact same way at the end of Cal’s tenure.

It gets redundant to the point reading the board is pointless and there can’t be any good discussion of any topics without faaarrrrr the coach and juvenile insults about the coach’s name (Poop), appearance (Cow), etc.

I expect that kind of thing from teenagers. Most people posting here are at least 35.

Problem is, they don't look around before starting threads AND they think their opinion is too important to just put in a thread, they want everyone to see that they have an opinion and it is more important than all the other hate posts.

They would never keep it to one thread. Only way that would happen, is if a mod kept merging them, but that would be a fulltime job.

Heck, I might start a couple myself, just to see Jedwar get mad. 😂

What was the point of this post? Maybe wait until portal players actually start getting signed and then reevaluate. Literally all the top guys still on the board and haven’t signed with anyone.
That point of this post from almost a week ago is were not landing any portal studs!!
