I think he would fit perfectly with what we have. That would be a long team. I wonder if we would see more zone defense from Pope with that length.
Nah I think Pope is pretty much a man to man defense guy. My question is if he can drive the ball.

Especially when they throw "mid" in posts as well. Automatically means at max they are 25. Staff has been wanting to get him on campus since last week, Pope needs to do whatever it takes to seal this one up as quickly as possible. Convince him he is the focal point of our offense, Zoom and Wilkins mid range game will give him a ton of open looks and showcase him so he is a lotto pick next year. He can be had for the right price even if he truly wants to stay in the draft. Pope just needs not to mess it up which seems hard for him.

In no universe is "Milan" a lottery pick next year or any other year. You're a complete clown

I think it will be a battle between us and UNC with Kansas a long shot from the outside looking in. Duke and Floridas lineups are filled out, Kansas just signed Parker Jr, UNC and UK are the teams that need him the most. I'm telling you we can land him if we offer enough $$$$ and Pope doesn't mess it up. It may be 2-3 weeks before we know anything but if we handle it right and offer enough it could be done well before then. My faith in the staff is pretty low after what we have seen this off season this far but surely its time they wake up and make it happen. Probably wishful thinking but lets do the D*mn thing!
Well that's the kiss of death

Heard mentality? Lmao.
Herd mentality yes, the guys who take every instance and make it a negative one and its usually by fans who have only been fans during Cal's tenure. Only like a team when things is peachy. We have had two 12 loss seasons during a time when our schedule has been the hardest too. Look at years when Pitino, Tubby, Cal coached and who we played and get back to me.
What word would you approve of instead of whiff?
Missed out on. What about Wilkins? What about Mcbride? First year he threw a team together because pretty late switching coaches. Last year we put together a team that didn't pan out. Injuries of Lowe, JQ and overpaying them two especially. That has hurt with missing out on some players this year. Using words like whiff become tik tok trends to the negative heard.
We missed out on Wright, using us for money. We missed out on Freeman who may end up injury prone. We missed out on Stokes, which should have never offered him. Having a player like Zoom over Wright when Wright won't have a guy like AJ to pass to no more should be interesting. Alex Wilkins when comparing him to a guy like Juke Harris who came from an awful Wake Forest should be something to watch for too. Ousmane and Mcbride are better than Freeman especially if Freeman gets hurt. We are missing a good wing and a good back up center. We had number 2 transfer class last year and it didn't pan out. If Pope does well and we get a couple more players everyone will be alright. If pope does bad with what we have he'll be let go. This year lots of teams spending big money and it'lll be interesting to see if it pans out. I think lots of teams will look like fools like we did last year, IMO.

I do not know what kind of shot we have, but it sure would be nice to have him stroking the rock for us.

We know in-person recruiting is a disaster for Mark Pope.

I doubt video zoom calls are much better.

I wonder if Kentucky can find some guys willing to be recruited using only Morse Code?

Pope could start out with a simple SOS...dot-dot-dot...dash-dash-dash...dot-dot-dot...Things could unfold from there, without perceived weirdness or lack of charisma or personality conflicts ruining everything.

We really need that guy. He is basically the only player left who could at least give me a glimmer of hope for next season.

We wouldn't need a SF if we got Momcilovic. We would need to play him 36 minutes a night
I agree he can play both spots but mainly 3 if we added Cameron Hinuindo he could play the 4 then you have the African league guy to back up the 4/5 with McBride, Kam And Hawthorne backing 3/4 spots

yeah like it did with wilkins, zoom, ousmane, etc. If you offer a kid like this money. Kids nowadays want promises on playing time and shots, i guess Pope don't lie to kids like certain coaches do.
Well it’s obvious he’s starting day one and he needs to tell him you will have to tell me you want to come out or you are playing the whole game 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
