And have peace, positivity, friendship, unity, and not *****, moan, complain, slander , libel, until the first loss?
If we get Mom, Can we all sing Kumbaya?

If we got Momcilovic, I’d definitely be happy.
I won’t be whining either way — it fixes nothing.

Yes for me; no for a bunch of others.
About 100 14 year olds on Xbox live already got my mom.
If you are asking this, it’s a self-own. He’s the best shooter in college basketball and a very good defender. He is probably a top 3 portal player this season at our biggest position of weakness.
Not surprising.
I think we’re able to feel pretty confident about our roster build heading into the season. We need a few guys to blow up in bigger roles like Butler did- but that is the brand of roster Pope builds.
I’d be excited for the season if we did.

I would be very excited to get him. UK fans really need some good news in a rough offseason.
Of course I'd be happy and let off a bit.
Spacing would change. You couldn't leave him to double Moreno, for example.
Moreno is a solid offensive rebounder. N'Diaye is an elite offensive rebounder overseas particularly long range rebounds that occur from shooting 3 point shots. The offense would be significantly changed by adding him and his 3pt shooting.

It would certainly help calm things down.
He's a team and a game changer, hope we get him.
If we get him and KEEP Moreno then there's definitley more reason for optimism than now going in . We still wouldn't have a great roster and its still coached by Pope. But yes it would be better with than without. Like goung from a Yugo to a Ford Focus - marked improvement but still kinda meh...... and you know Stevie Wonder will be driving it.
If we DON'T get him, will you shut the fcku up and get the fcku out of here and self ban?
I'd finally shout out a HELL YEAH, and leave it at that.
would be nice to get off my chest, after all the CMP *ahem* whiffs ....

eh not rly this program is still in an awful spot
If we don’t get him, can we *****, moan, complain, slander, libel and not have peace, positivity, friendship and unity? Fair is fair.
I hope we get him and Moreno returns as that team will be good enough to judge pope on, just as last years was. I have zero confidence in pope, zero. I’m on record and will say it again, next year will be a complete disaster regardless of roster.
Kind of where I am at. I watched a team last year that was supposedly composed of good defenders play defense when only they wanted. Imo coaching is composed of recruiting, X & O's, and motivation/ discipline. Pope is good at X & O adjustments at halftime, but abysmal at the other two. This team isn't anywhere close enough talent wise to compensate for the other issues.
I miss @caneintally doing his epic roster projections in threads like this! Where ya at, fella?
If we get Momcilovic I'll be awfully happy.
And I'll still say just like last year, "Hey. Um, guys..... We have a system that relies almost entirely on snipers to really work and we don't have any snipers. (But let's give it a try.)"

He would be this team's Jamal Mashburn! This dude is a stud who can shoot and defend. I would honestly much rather have him than Stokes. This guy is good enough to take a good team and make them a great team. He's the kind of difference maker we've been hoping for. There's not a helluva lot of guys out there with PF size who shoots almost 50% from 3 on a high volume.
I think, as the team is comprised right now, it looks like UK could go anywhere from 16-17 regular season wins. This also assumes the return of Moreno. That may no longer be so certain!
Now, the addition of such an elite shooter with size changes that to maybe 21-22 regular season wins.
So from NIT to 5 seed? Yeah… I’ll take it!

I would definitely feel better about next season.
The most important part I see is that Pope would have a hand-picked team at every position that fits his “system”.
Then we’ll see.

I would feel A LOT better.
but that just means I’m gonna be super cheesed off when he picks someone else.

He takes you from what would be a 20 to 23 win team to a team that wins at least 24 games and makes a minimum of the second weekend.
Would obviously be a huge get for Pope. Might save his career at Kentucky.

If they win regular season games and no longer get down 10+ pts in the first half then we can have peace but having Momcilivic and then Moreno back would make a lot of people more hopeful but we thought we were going to be special in the good way this past season and look how it turned out. Lose some early games and the melt down will be monumental
Which would be awful for this program. Think 10-Loss Tubby era 2.0, only now UConn and Duke are on our heels, and likely pass us, title wise, and Kansas far surpasses us in All Time wins.
If he lands Momcilovic it will only hand been a rough off season for the chicken littles
I was gonna say is pope getting a 4th year n the best interests of this program?
Still dont think he ever wins anything that matters here
