Arkansas, UK, UNC plus a few more. His mother played at UNC
If Malone walks in off the street and builds a better roster than Pope I’m gonna be pissed
He'd be a good bench piece
Would you be disappointed with the #15 on3 recruit as a projected starter? Ranked higher than Kinney and Toure.
For the OKC Thunder
We have 3 players and you’re saying a legit NBA prospect would be a bench piece lol
Bro it might seem like just a dumb take... really it's a former anon-troll. Just a heads up. Go Cats
We don't need them if they don't want to be at UK for what UK is.
If he doesn't appreciate our tradition and the name on the jersey then to heck with him. I want players who want to be here.
Until we are 10-24...
This isn't Hoosiers. Kids are going to high bidder
I was joking when I said it. When Pope said that it was kind of a dagger towards any kind of hope that he knew what he was doing.
Correct. A lot of us convinced ourselves that we were ok with giving up 5 star talents if it meant roster retention with better coaching and fundamentals. Well, now we have none of that. Another Mitch special.
They are also well coached. To be fair Amari looked great under Pope so I hope he finds more guys like him again.
If some of you are to be believed, our bench would extend into the cheap seats.
But Muurinen’s a bit different than other Euro bigs. What sets him apart is not the ball skills as much as it is the crazy speed and bounce for a 6’11” white guy:
Prepare to be pissed. Keep in mind, Malone got fired sitting 4th in the West. All over a pi$$ing match with ownership and roster management. Stan Kronke is the owner. Josh, his son, was in charge of the roster. See where this is headed? One of Josh’s buddies was an assistant and is now the head coach. Long story short, Malone can absolutely coach. My guess is UNC will be immediately relevant.
Moreno would have barely seen the floor for any of the final four teams
Moreno was good as a freshman and could make a big leap next season. Mara was nothing with UCLA and wasn't a highly sought transferbut made a big leap with Michigan.
You’re living in the past. There’s no such thing as “rebuild mode” in this new NIL/portal era … especially for a power conference school with UK’s financial resources. Teams are now expected to “reload“, not rebuild.
How many times have you seen him play? Not highlights but games. My guess is ZERO, yet you make a statement that he could possibly come off the bench.
If the $22 million dollars spent last year is true, I don’t believe it is, then we can afford 2-3 high dollar high school or portal players.
What difference does that make, you are going to be pissed off at Pope anyway. Why don't you leave Pope alone and let him do his job. Unlike at least 1/2 of you on here think you know more about basketball than he does. Shocker, you don't.
Yours assuming Pope is in the same class with those two guy? Did you fall and hit your head? Cause that’s a hematoma talking. We damn sure are in a rebuild mode. We are rebuilding from not only the last two years but the 7 years prior to with that greaseball gumba running the program straight in the ground. And I’m not even touching the JMI mystery. Top recruits visit, then cut us from their list like a fat girl during prom week. Kentucky as we knew it, is over.
