Ridiculous argument. He has a team capable of winning a championship. You are just stuck trying to justify your months of Pope can't recruit bullcrap posts to admit he had a good class
You went from wanting Pope fired, to thinking we're a top 10 team in just 2 months. Unreal.

C- and he is very lucky that Milan was still there. Missed on a much better PG than Zoom. Missed on a better player than Milan (Stokes)- missed on every high school prospect...but he also did get Milan.
I am not sure that Stokes is a better player than Momcilovic at this level. He's going to be a better pro, but productivity in college? I can see Momcilovic taking a big step forward. Stokes is going to have an adjustment. And he's going to have to carry a lot of the load at KU.

You're in many threads blowing up on people, and often are the one instigating. And dude, "you focus too much on your feuds" is not something a reasonable person should take as an insult, let alone one that leads you to jump straight to telling someone to **** off. That's not "giving it back," that's pretty extreme escalation. Looking back, I regret jumping to insulting you in response after that. That was emotional instability on my part. So I apologize for that. And for calling you a jerk here. I have no reason to feud with you, and if my reason for commenting at people over this is dislike of the endless feuds, I shouldn't be a hypocrit and participate in them myself. So I'm not gonna call you out anymore. I see you in other threads with reasonable things to say about UK ball, and that's what we're all here for. Let's turn down the temperature.
This dude and beatle bum, who came over from simping for Stoops, on the lair. Are in serious contention for worst posters of all time.

Shoot, that is all he does. Are other players going to be jealous of doing the dirty work, while he just stands outside and shoots. He may turn into a beast and rebound like a mad man, and get down and dirty on defense. He did not do those things at Iowa State, and I doubt he does them here. I hope I am wrong, but unless he shows me he is willing to do those other things, I will stick to my guns.
They are going to be upset at facing soft defenses with space to function from and open shots of their own?

If they are they are fools. Let Momcilovic do his job so that they may do their's more abundantly.

B-

If it felt like he was getting who he wanted according to a plan, I'd have given it a B. But every kid brought in felt like it was seeing what sticks. For that reason, I don't know how this class turns out.

I wasnt really going to war.... I know I have seen him play, but dont remember him specifically.
My only words were based on the fact he was hitting 3pts at 48% and doing it in a major conf.
is he worth 7.5 mil?
that is nuckin futs.
I hope he turns out to be a good investment... I just cant get pass the NIL $ amount.
You don't actually know what the number is anyways so just pretend one you are more comfortable with, you may even be right.

True. I did want him fired. THEY DIDN'T DO IT. What I will not do, is root for Pope to suck the next 10 months so I can say, see, they should have fired him. I hope the dude wins #9 and gets a 5 year extension. Whoever the coach is, during the season, they are my coach and my team and I am going to root for them. If you want to rip us for the next 10 months, go join the Arkansas board and be among friends

We need to re visit this thread in March.

For the people who gave a C and below: if Kentucky finishes in the Top 20, then they have to give Pope an A+ coaching job.

I mean only an elite coach could take such a horrible recruiting class and make them finish in the Top 20.


And vice versa, if Kentucky doesn't finish in the top 20, then the people giving this class a B and above have to admit that the coaching job was terrible, barring no injuries.
