He’s going to bring in a top three portal class, I’m not at liberty say more, signed an NDA, though it’s going to be epic!
Now Now Phil, we don’t need names, just let me know what positions that we have locked up, not counting what I have listed below:
(2 PG’s, 1 SG, PFx2, 6’9” Hybrid Guard/Power Forward High School Phenom)?
Moreno - C
Williams - SF
Noah - SG/SF
Hawthorne - SF
Potter - C
Let us know what you know!

Sorry brother, thought people would realize that was sarcasm. I believe we all know he needs 6-8 players, I can see 1-2 those being overseas players similar to what AJ was, otherwise, I don’t see how he can complete the roster.

If I told you that Pope would have zero portal commitments the Saturday after the portal opened, most of you would have laughed at me and called me a troll…

Yet, here we are! What says you guys now?
It all hinges on Stokes, we have the guys lined up and waiting once we know what happens there. Literally Dedan was the only one who didn’t wait and he was option 2. By end of this coming week we will have our team in order and fans will be happy with the roster construction.

It is concerning. What is there 5 players on the team right now?

Yeah, we are super excited about going 9-23 next year.
Plus he is not in fact guaranteed to be gone if he stinks it up again next year. We’d all like to think so but come right down to it our administration has serious issues to where if we win 15 games next year or maybe even 9 and ticket sales don’t drop too far we really don’t know for sure wtf will happen. Especially if God forbid we get “progress” and he wins 23 games.

That's a ridiculous claim. I can guarantee 15 wins and he is definitely gone. 23 wins would not be progress but rather the current average.

Since you seem to be in the "know", is there any contact with vaaks? Would seem to be a priority since Chandler left.

Travis Perry and a couple seniors from Lindsey Wilson and Campbellsville University. Pope read on Rupp Rafters how important it was to have in-state players and wanted to make sure that happened.

You can’t guarantee shi.t.
I'm not much on going out on a limb. 15 wins next season is a guaranteed coaching change there is zero doubt about that. The only way that it's not a certainty is if the season were somehow cut considerably short. Especially with a new AD there is no chance he could suffer a losing season and keep his job.

Every year Pope contacts and Zooms the top portal players only to be stuck with his 3rd-4th option. 0 commitments with only 10 days left.

I’m not high on pope. But the portal opened yesterday and you’re out here saying we only have 10 days left. You know one could say that we have 83.3% of the portal window still open to sign players. But I’d expect nothing less than a middle schooler like yourself. You’re not even a Kentucky fan. Just leave.
