Per today's court decision. This stuff is making me nauseous.
Looks like Seth Trimble is now allowed to play for UL

Thanks Greg Sankey, you
After allllll of this I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC caved on the intraconference transfers rules
Pope looking worse every day. One more year of this crap.
Trimble entered his name in the portal Mitchell didn't. If you want to blame anyone blame Mitchell's agent for not telling him to do the same.Thanks Greg Sankey, you
How does this make him look worse?
Pope knew the rule for SEC players and that MM hadn't entered his name in the portal. but like an idiot didn't try other options
He was out of eligibility.
So was Aberdeen, Trimble and others. But someone was smart enough to advise them to put their names in the portal anyway.
Hiring his brother as an agent was an idiot move.
So was Trimble. So were a hundred other players. They had good agents who told them to enter the portal just in case.
If Mitchell had hired a competent agent to advise him, he might be at UK this year. Hell, if he even talked to some of his peers, he might be with UK now.
It wasnt really a court decision. Trimble just had his name added to the same Kentucky based lawsuit as Mark Mitchell. That lawsuit has granted all plaintiffs TEMPORARY eligibility.
**** man sorry. I misread it as Trimble not allowed to play while I was at a red light. ****. This is even worse. You’re totally correct. What a damn bummer this has all been. Hoping Stein can take our minds off this misery for a bit.
How in the hell is this Pope’s fault? Christ, how stupid.
Because he missed on all the 4s with the very biggest budget in the sport. In complete desperation time, he signed a player that is NCAA and SEC conference ineligible
enjoy your sweet 16, everyone is embarrassing us
If you think UK is outspending Duke you are nuts.
She's the worst poster here and that's one heck of an accomplishment. She literally sets up camp when the arrow points down and completely vanishes when it points up.

You and Cornhole should have a meeting of the minds. The level of intelligence would be off the charts.
Doodee Doodee
This is where Pope messed up. Yet again, he put all his eggs in a longshot basket just to find out exactly why it was a longshot.
I blame Pope for Trimble's eligibility.
Predicting another UL beat down this year! Without Mitchell it will be a bad match-up in Rupp. They are built like a top SEC team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because we needed one more difference maker and he struck out on every single one during the recruiting season. It's now September and he's still scrambling.
They should have said hey we will help you in this lawsuit but once you sign it’s all or nothing. You either stay and fight or pay us if you leave like other NIL deals have been structured. Instead we helped him, he left us in the dust on the last day all while disrupting the team honestly. Everyone’s role changed, and maybe even excitement for a better squad. Now we lost a key guy and didn’t fight at all. Just gave up. They had to have talked about all this stuff privately.
We will end up being the only school who couldn’t play a transfer out of all these lawsuits.
I really don’t know how you would fight this. This was an intraleague agreement and rule. I don’t think the courts would have turned this one over. I don’t blame the kid for cutting bait. I’m glad he didn’t make a strong Louisville even stronger.
As mentioned earlier, I don’t understand how a kid like Aberdeen with exhausted eligibility can even put his name in.
Gotta think golden told him to and then return home since he knows his backcourt is trash.

How is this making pope look worse? All you do is post negative BS with no facts. Explain how this makes pope look worse in anyone's head but your own.
From my understanding, Mitchell paid for his own legal services. I could be wrong on that, but I am pretty sure he did. The university likely had some of their internal legal team working on it as well, but they would be paid by the university regardless of working on this matter or something else.
I think Mitchell wanted to come to UK and never intended to spurn them, but I think he also realized he could be jeopardizing the last year or eligibility he has remaining of he didn't return to Mizzou. IMO, he has the least amount of blame here.
Pope has some blame for his lack of recruiting ability and his lack of building high performance teams. He has struck out on almost every major player he has targeted sans Milan. Problem with Milan is he is a 1 way player. Offense is great, defense is terrible. That has left us desperate to add a high impact player and we just haven't.
How does it not?
This is multiple years in a row where he has not been able to build a solid team and is scrambling in Sept to add someone. We are again the laughing stock of CBB and expected to underperform to our standards, yet again under Pope.
Is the court ruling directly Pope's fault? No!
Is being in the same situation yet again where we have struck out on practically every big name recruit we wanted and having a low ceiling team yet again Pope's fault? Hell yes!
Seriously, Kentucky is the literally the only reason anyone knows the SEC plays basketball. Sankey is a pushover. I don’t remember him saying a word when Alabama literally had a pro playing last year. F the SEC.Thanks Greg Sankey, you
That dude has multiple accounts. Another one is BBN9 or something like that. Got caught the other day.
How was it not a court decision when the court made a decision to add him? Like, wtf? You get your law degree online like @Cattorney?
The roster was basically set before Mitchell came available, so why not take a shot? The intra conference BS is just that. Aberdeen, MoD and BG all transferred to other SEC schools. It’s clearly selective enforcement.
