Sadly we all need to exercise caution here. He may still be ruled ineligible in the end.

I’ll have a wait and see attitude, His ISO game runs contrary to Popes offense

His defense and rebounding are questionable too

And here they are folks. THOSE guys. Smh

Pope is going for it

Remember when everyone wanted Donnie Freeman? Good times.

Honestly I have been critical of Pope alot but convincing Mitchell to sign on as our 6th man is impressive as heck

CatinIL · 2026-08-22T21:42:52-0500

Good news for the CATS.

No excuses this season. As long as everyone is healthy, we need to win the SEC and make the FF, at least!

Florida might have something to say about that. They are really, really, really good.

So we should just roll over and give up since Florida is really, really, really good?

Pope is the guy for this job. Never a doubt in my mind.

Leapfrogged the Cards. You just hate to see it!

Numero uno in every category is where UK rightfully belongs.

Yeah and his name is constantly brought up amongst those that Pope "whiffed on". Freeman gets injured the second he rolls out of bed. He’s never played a full season and the same guys yelling "WHIFF" are the same ones that accused Pope of overpaying for players last year. In o5der to get Freeman, Pope would have had to pay more than he's worth. Now look at him, he’s out for the season.

It was a good miss, but still a miss nonetheless.

Is it a miss if Pope told him "no, this is our offer, you aren't worth more than that"?

Same with Rob Wright. Like everyone else, he has a top end value and Pope got crushed for overpaying last year. He can’t do the same thing this year. Wright was just checking to see if he could get a bigger bag, Pope did the right thing with him and Feeeman.

Anyone that payed for Freeman's services, is a fool, the guy will never finish a season, he’s too injury prone and his value isn’t what he thinks it is. He fooled Rick though, good for him.

What will be this team’s ranking before our first game? I’ve seen some polls with us around #20-25. I’ll guess 15 with Mitchell?
The key is still Zoom for me. If he proves to be a Kentucky-caliber PG, we have a chance at a title.
I also like this lineup
Zoom
Momcilovic
Mitchell
N’Daiye or McBride
Moreno

1 guard 3 pf and a center
Awful lineup

Zoom, wilkins, Mitchell and momcilovic are starting
I don't know how u can play milan at the 3 and be any good at all.

Let’s go baby!! Number nine a real possibility next year

Wish there center Shawn Philips had came with him. He and Mitchell dunked all over Moreno in sec tournament. Mitchell is one of the better scoring 4s I've seen in a long time. Has game from everywhere

You've got me confused. Im not negative on anything with this coach and team. Its just a simple fact the legal battle is far from over on this case.

WallMash · 2026-08-23T06:40:01-0500

Things to like:
our SF and PF are our best 3 point threats so that could stretch the floor for zoom and Alex to drive.
We have lots of fouls to give at the 4 and 5.
We will score buckets.

Things to bring back to earth:
Mom and Moreno and Mitchell are not elite defenders/rebounders

So we have to out score teams.
