The Pope problem is not his weirdness. He doesn’t have a reputation of getting a player to the league.

Players do not improve playing for him.
Even though Ive been more Anti-Pope recently than usual and think we’d be better off with a different head coach. I still want to be objective:

I think Moreno has played better than expected so far. And will be drafted. Also, what about Amari Williams? Plus, I think Diallo, Wilkins and N’diaye have potential to be drafted.

I know Pope acts Dorkie, but I still want to be fair about the facts.

OK. Describe what skill Moreno has now that he didn’t arrive at UK with.

It’s not about being drafted. Did they improve?

Amari was the 3 time defensive POY in a conference. Couldn’t guard in a phone booth playing for Pope.

Oweh is the same player he was 2 years ago.

He was on IG live with Michigan State players today… don’t know what to read into this.


It's hard to say. My initial impression is that he didn't sound too impressed with UK offering Jamal a job. Maybe he thought it was a desperation move.

But I honestly don't know. I would be curious what others think.

He does a IG live daily it seems. Just decide dude. It’s been rumored to happen like 10 times now the past six months. If I was Pope I’d say I need to be finalize my roster soon, maybe he doesn’t care because this 5 for 5 may happen, but I’d challenge him to go wear Adidas then.

I saw it like that as well -- it seemed like "do you know what else this loser did?".

Like you said, I can be wrong. Who the f knows with this kid.

He better put aside his moment and announce today for the fans......I mean he will be in highschool again and get to be recruited like this next year. Just pick a school already....not like this is a once In a lifetime moment.
