All of these family members think their kid is a superstar and it’s the “other” that is holding them back.

I taught a sophomore, maybe 5’8”. He is probably quick but he has a **** attitude and isn’t that smart.

I asked him how the season went. He just sat the bench for varsity. Like he wasn’t cracking the depth chart because the players above him are way better.

“Coach won’t give me a chance”

Yep, I’m sure the high school coach wants to play the least capable players and you are on the bench for no other reason.

One kid transferred. When I asked about him, “he following his own path”. It’s like dude, he can’t get on the roster at a crappy KY high school.

AAU and other leagues just blow these kids heads up

To be fair, Collin wasn't -22 in the Iowa State game. He wasn't 1-7 in the Iowa State game.

Hope this clears it up!
Yep. And there’s actually been LOTS of people talking about CC chasing NIL money …in fact far more so than than there was with JJ.

The uncle is now just making up flat out lies to feed his victim complex.

Bringing the implied racism card to the table with that latest post.

Ultimately, now that it’s all a business, value vs contribution is all that matters. If you want more than you’re worth, I’d rather you go somewhere else. If you can find a suitor willing to pay your ransom, then go. Simple. No hard feelings needed.

There's plenty of folks ripping Chandler for leaving. I don't know what planet Derrick Johnson is on, but it isn't this one. Using race as a wedge, when that has literally nothing to do with portal decisions, is a sign of prejudice and intellectual laziness. No good can come from continuing down this road.

And he’s got more to say today:


Certifiable. Wow. DJ is out of his gourd. Did he have injury or eligibility issues when he was at UK? I just remember him not really panning out. If the Hack still posted here, he could probably set me straight

Someone in his family should take away his internet privileges. JJ wants to land a job. DJ is creating baggage no one wants.

What Pope needs is to get the **** out of town. Derrick is on point.

Agree to a certain degree, but no one kept these kids from continuing to put in the work on their own. And if I were an assistant coach, I woukd not be waiting on the head coach to tell me to push kids to work on their game & help them.

Point...Mark is at fault but there is blame to share.

I don’t think Jasper really loves playing basketball. JMO.

And I feel for Pope having this *** hat uncle whining in public.
Don’t think anyone would choose Derrick Johnson over Mark Pope as a better character person.

Just can’t believe Dennis doesn’t tell him to shut up.

Hey Derrick I know you're reading this. We appreciate your time at UK. Why don't you get off the damn phone and tell your nephew to work on dribbling and other basic **** we were taught in elementary school? You look like a giant titty baby. Be better than this.

Jasper doesn’t have what it takes between his ears, he has talent but VERY low IQ and that’s usually something that can’t be taught.

His nephew already got more from Kentucky than he earned.

Also, a note to his uncle: Jealousy is when you can't keep Kentucky out of your mouth even after your nephew left. Move on, get your attention somewhere else. Also, preferably, just grow the **** up. The people who are forced to be around you will appreciate it.

I would love for JJ to stick around and work on his game. The language of basketball is not a secret. You either beat your man or your man beats you. Cal talked about exposure and not being able to protect players once they are on the court. We all saw JJ have a few good moments and a lot of frustrating moments. He would be welcomed back, but not at the expense of players who have proven consistent value. And, with a bench role salary.

Nice. I like ”Lady Bug,” Timmy. And, if Bum Beatle is the best you can do, not a problem. Dyslexic posters need grace. Grace given, Timmy.
If you like it so much, change your sign on to Lady Bug. It would make me so happy and do so much for my confidence.

Really? Pope has character? The guy with no qualifications sucking up $5M+ and justifying it with excuses like "we did better than the last 2 years"? Never can admit he is doing a bad job, just excuse after excuse. Passive aggressive ***** playing the whole "good guy" card? Former players have said he is not personable. Recruits run fast in the opposite direction after talking to him. Guy is pathetic.

Yeah, Unc is both stupid and delusional. He is pretending JJ wasn't given a chance. OUR STARTING PG WAS LOST FOR THE SEASON. Pope didn't want to move DA to PG. He wanted JJ to play the point, but JJ was unplayable. He is like a street ball player who never learned to play on a team. He could score, but he took terrible, braindead shots and turned the ball over everytime he touched it. And Unc made out like Chandler playing more because of a racial thing with Pope. It took a day before he had to post again and try and clean the egg off his face. Chandler was better in every faze, his man defense being his weakness, but JJ made him look like Gary Payton in comparison

He’s doesn’t suck. He’s not a point guard. But pope had him playing back up point as freshman in the SEC while pope was also trying to figure out what offense he was running
Should have never ran the left handed offense with him.
