Just no spot for him at this point
lol. Right. A dude that averaged 18 at Mizzou can’t beat out guys from Furman, James Madison, some rando Euro team that cooked freaking Kyle Wiltjer once, Tulane, Wazzu, or whatever obscure place Pope cobbled this group together from. For sure, a guy that averaged 18 on a team about as good as UK in the same league. Yep. No room for him. Hell, there’s a solid chance he’d be one of the three best players.

Some of you would sign the backup QB to the biggest contract in league history. Goodness.

Didn’t say he wouldn’t be an upgrade or help. Said there is no room for him. Ousmane and McBride are here to play not ride pine. Bring him in this late now you got a pissed off few players. Pope def isn’t doing that. And most coaches wouldn’t this late.

Jesus man. Surely you’re trolling?
Over Tyson? Tyson is awful on defense and was way overmatched at UNC mainly due to he doesn’t like the big time pressure apparently. Now if u meant Mitchell then yes he’s an upgrade but we just don’t have the room for him unfortunately.

What is wrong with you? How could this ruling do anything but hurt UK? We have 1 roster spot and there are now thousands of players available, some that were great last year, for hundreds of other schools.
Yeah, unfortunately UK ain’t well situated to take advantage with only 1 spot left.

Giving away spots to scrubs like Potter and Hawthorne’s little brother seemed harmless at the time. But now that’s suddenly looking dumb.

Seems like SF/PF is the focus, maybe indicative of a lag in development from Hawthorne? But definitely seems like the 15th addition will be a depth piece rather than a ‘star’
Yes it has been said by pope already and has been that way for the most part. The starters are set at this point. We need either a wing or a center backup.

The spots isn’t the issue. They are going to let teams go over the 15 number from what I’ve seen. These guys are going to be looking for massive last pay days and roles promised.

Where did you supposedly see this?

i’ve seen absolutely nothing suggesting that the 15 player limit no longer applies.
Someone had posted the court stuff and it had it in there. It’s all going to be contested so anything could change. But they have to open spots for them. They did it for Covid too.

Heard the same thing that they could be altering the amount of roster spots for the upcoming season. But have to agree that most will be coming back with the sole intention of getting the biggest check

Yea no reason not to go to highest bidder biggest role. It’s the absolute last shot at a payday. Some people just can’t use common sense.

Any coach that cares about winning would bring him in. Winning is the assignment, that Pope is supposed to understand.

Yes. I meant Mitchell. You ALWAYS have room for a dude that’s anywhere from your best player to third best player. If some Euro or chump from James Madison has an issue with that, they can kick rocks.
