I said 5 people making multiple accounts to post negativity to ruin every thread. If you took that to mean anything else, then that's on you.
Make your poll big boy. Only a few of you are crying about people calling a spade a spade. Everyone wants him to succeed but everyone also doesn’t believe he can. If that’s too much for your pea brain to handle maybe you should log off till the season starts.

I've heard enough of your crybaby crap as well. No need to log off that's what the ignore button is for.

Read my posts. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. If you are going to argue about a person's post then read their posts. Nothing you have written applies to me in any way.

So apparently one (or more) of you thinks we have the best guards in the past 7 years. I don't even know where to start with that. The level of delusion here is sometimes scary.
I like the potential of our guards for the upcoming season but we did have two lottery picks and Reeves in '24 as a recent example.

You have to factor in the Adriatic League vs Italian Lega Serie A.
You have to factor in terrible shot selection. Shooting 1-9, 1-8, 0-7 from 3 on a regular basis is terrible shot selection. And you know pope isn’t going to stop him. He let Mo and BG shoot as many 3s as they wanted.

I had read two sources that Pope was recruiting McBride as a starter. Makes sense with NDye being new to the college game.

“You read two sources that Pope was recruiting McBride as a starter”

Genuinely curious- what does that mean. You read it? On Twitter? Message board?

I don’t dislike pope, I’ve never called him names or any of that. All I’ve said is he struggles recruiting and that I don’t think this team has the talent to compete for a sec championship.

I agree with you 100%. And it’s not even that the name calling is “mean”. It’s just cringy AF. Like super cringy lol. Grown *** men calling him Poop? Like actively typing out the word Poop in an entire paragraph instead of Pope.

For the last fn time. Just because we don't like you bashing the team, coaches, and players constantly doesn't mean we think pope is doing a good job or that the recruiting is anywhere near what it should be. He was always going to get a 3rd season. Regardless of all your rants. Why not just try to find some joy in the game and team we all love. We just want you guys to stop posting the same negative BS on every single thread on here. It's every thread and it is ridiculous. Why are you so miserable that you want to try to make everyone else the same? Grow up. Enjoy life.

Find joy? Genuinely curious- what do you mean?

Also there is a BIG difference between the dorky grown a$$ men calling Pope “poop” and bashing him as a person relentlessly…and criticizing, critiquing and just calling spades spades. It may seem like folks are negative all the time because…well…there’s a lot to be negative about right now. Wouldn’t you agree?

Those two shot a total of 45 combined in 36 games. I would agree that was too many seeing as they only made 10 but that is far from having the green light at all times.

-My apologies to the idiot for plagiarism. I should have read forward first.

McBride is expected to be the starter, not N’Diaye — according to the latest episode of Zoom Action. This must come from a good source, as Zack G and Ramsey both acknowledged they were caught by surprise to find that out.

The idea is McBride has the higher floor.

Assuming this is true, thoughts?
It’s not even May 15. Little early to write down the starting five, especially with this collection of blue chips?

They combined for 45 3 point field goal attempts for the entire season. They definitely had no green light.

2025-26 Kentucky Wildcats Men's Roster and Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

McBride and N'Diaye both project to shoot better than those two guys, so I expect them to shoot a higher volume.
I would have liked to have seen BG shoot more 3's actually. Felt like wasted potential to not see that aspect of his game developed further.
But, guess we'll see with Bama how much he's shooting

Ousmane and McBride will instantly improve our shooting. The rest of their game is the question mark.

No, it’s not my 200th account lol. Is that what you do when presented with a question to your OWN question?

I’m not being combative. Genuinely curious what you mean when you say we “should find joy” Can you elaborate?

Are you also saying that criticizing is…not okay? I’m genuinely just trying to see where you’re coming from. Are you able to explain? It is a message board after all my man.

I know people are getting mad at me for saying we’re not very talented as a whole this coming season. I would love to be wrong about it because if I am wrong we are winning but I just don’t see these guys being able to win with the top teams in our out of conference and in conference schedule.
I can't disagree with you, even though I think Wilkins and Zoom are going to be very good.

However, I didn't think the 24/25 roster was going to be any good either, but they pulled off enough big wins to get a 3 seed.

If MP fills out the roster with a couple good pieces, this team could easily be better than that one, then it comes down to how well they like each other.

If you start looking at it through the lenses of homerism and "Pope is one of us, so we can't say he sucks" it makes sense. Anyone with any sense of objectivity can see, this is a disaster waiting to happen. And Pope can't recruit at the level needed to win at UK. But people start seeing the 1996 title and Pope signing balls and autographs. And it all gets convoluted. Kyjeff1 agrees. He got banned for his rants on Calipari, but he won't say anything about Pope because he's a former player. And because Calipari dissed some of the fanbase, he deserved to be called bad names appr. Idk, this is why you don't hire former players. Emotions get involved and it gets messy. Michigan won 8 games with Juwan Howard. Then won the title 2-3 years later. I guarantee you he had supporters going into that 8 win season too.
Wow, you've come up with your own synopsis of my feelings towards Pope and Cal.

And you're wrong.

I have literally said I have the same concerns all of you have. I've also said Pope is on very thin ice with all the fans that have 1 foot on the fence and I definitely do have 1 foot on the fence.

I've said it a hundred times, I'm just taking a wait and see approach. That's it and it’s NOT because he's an ex player, it's because he does some things very well and he puts UK first. He wants it as bad as we do.

The only thing I said about Pope being one of us, is the anger everyone has towards him. Why call him a "dope"? That seems uncalled for.

Also, man, I don't want to be a guy that just goes ape sh*t on every coach the second he has a bad season. I feel like I'm giving him a fair chance to get it right, but like I said, he's on the thinnest of thin ice.

At least get the facts correct if you're gonna trash me.

I remember Kyjeff didn’t like Calipari and now he is really getting aggravated with Pope criticisms. I don’t think what I’m saying is unfair, I just think theirs a low percentage chance a guy that struggles recruiting like Pope can make it at a program like UK.
I don't think you're being unfair at all. I get it, I'm just in a different beautiful space right now, the fatique is setting in, but I'm running at a +11, so we're good.

Even a simpleton would understand the content of my post. So, either quit playing dumb or create your 201st account and try again.

Okay… so explain the content of your post then?
Also… why would I create another account to read your post again lol? That makes absolutely no sense.

With all due respect I don’t think you can explain or refute your post in question. I think you know I’m at least somewhat correct which is why you’re saying “he has made 200 accounts!” And using terms like siMPLetON.

Genuinely- what has there been or what is there to “find joy” in? And how are fans being critical of the current climate and results a bad thing?
