Dude had to of been mormon or recently converted to that cult.
Glad its all over.. Least we know . Good luck and enjoy your final season at BYU.
so he felt that Pope who was in the NBA for what a few years can be a better teacher than Cal who has 38 first round picks at UK? LOL i’m done.
"I was born and raised in Europe, and I just felt BYU offered me the quickest and surest path back there..."
Well, at least he is honest.

he must have really really hated purdue.
Pope: "hey, I was a slow, pale-faced big and I played 6 years in the NBA, i can show you how it done, jump on, Kemosabe."
Sounds like a little jab at Cal in the article that he doesn’t care how nice the locker room is. Although, anyone who thinks Pope will better prepare him for the NBA, may need his head examined.
"but I think he had the best plan in place for me to succeed.”
WE DONT HAVE A LEGIT BIG MAN YOU DUMB BASTARD. You could have had 30 plus minutes a game here, let alone some of the best coaches in the country!! Unreal

Would have liked to have gotten him ....... but happy for Coach Pope! He's building a great program there. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!!!!
I'm gonna float a theory.
He and his gf just had a bad breakup and he wants to get as far away from those bad memories as possible
That's a really plausible theory. It happens.

I think it comes down to being able to play on the perimeter, shooting jump shots, rather than being a post player at UK. That's what BYU does. Puts up a bunch of jump shots.
Have you considered that maybe it's not about the NBA?
I know us Cal-era UK fans have been programmed to think everything's about the NBA, but you know, I've not once seen a quote where Haarms even mentions the NBA.
I wish him nothing but the best of luck. BYU is a solid program and it’s probably true that Haarms is a better fit there than UK. Opposing fanbases will gloat that Kentucky got beat out for a recruit by BYU, and sure they’re not wrong, but we all know it’s quite a bit deeper than that.
"But Haarms, who saw his production diminish this past season and left Purdue in search of an opportunity for an increased role, spurned two of the current giants in college basketball to head to Provo."
We never had a good fit in a guy who was trending DOWN at Purdue. His role would NOT increase here.
The only thing wrong with your comment is that he SAID it was about the NBA.
nice attempt to generalize me as a cal lover who thinks the NBA comes first, unfortunately for you it won’t work and considering Haarms said said he wants to showcase his skills for the NBA it’s a pretty relevant post.
weak attempt.
Every year we fall for it as fans. There’s that one transfer that we think we’re going to get. Hell even the inside sources said it was a done deal to UK. Then it hits, they pick another school. Usually a much smaller program that doesn’t have the bright lights that we do.
Usually I have a good feeling that coach will get a grad transfer like Nate sestina or Reid Travis. I’m not getting that feeling this year. There’s just no one really out there that’s good enough to make a difference. Oh well. I guess somehow coach will figure it out.
Kentucky must have been to big for the guy, he can be just another player and not be watched or constantly criticized out there. He was interested in coming here but something scared him off which means he prolly wasn't tough enough to be a Kentucky Wildcat. At BYU if he doesn't do much nothing will be said, if he were here it didn't work out it would bother him much longer.
Yep, too many here just assumed it was a done deal with their line up posts. No. I don't wish him the best. Some of your can say it. but I dont . You dont spurn our program and get my best wishes. Like I posted last week. This years Blackshear. Some never learn.
LOL, Mercy! I can understand losing out to Duke, UNC, somewhere like that, but Fckn BYU? LMAO
