I took that as him being facetious because of Stokes being from Kentucky & Kansas is predicted to get him.We’re not seriously comparing KU, Duke, and UNC’s recruiting to Pope’s, are we? Because we can, but it’s down right embarrassing
I think Tyler Hansbrough is from Missouri & Kentucky did recruit him (Tubby) best i remember, he was a Kentucky lean until the NC visit. I think Ole Roy took him fishing & he said it felt more like family there & committed.
In recruiting, be it sports, corporate or military, the phrase "call them all" holds truth. Contact them, let 'em know what's in it for them and how both parties may benefit by establishing a relationship.
Not saying the player signs, but rather he/she is aware of interest.
By the way, Rob Dillingham, Davion Mintz, Bam Adebayo, John Wall all send their best.

Maybe we make him a monster offer. Who knows. Probably right.
EJ Montgomery was going to Duke until they landed Zion out of nowhere. I believe EJ committed to us a week after Zion chose elsewhere.
I can confirm. TH is from Poplar Bluff, MO. He was definitely recruited by OTS. I actually have one of the letters he received from OTS during his recruitment. Dated a girl he was friends with. She thought it would be cool to get me. He was definitely a UK lean. Then he took his UNC visit and it all went downhill from there.
You’ll see . But I’m not going to waste any more time on something that is NEVER going to happen.lol
I think with him, but I could be confusing it for someone else, there were a lot of reports that he just did not mesh well with the team on his visit there. I want to say the reports were that the Duke players sort of iced him out like it was a clique.. which im not surprised to hear.
This is exactly right. Always amused at people that act like they know more than anyone but show their ignorance whenever they open their mouths.

Tubby may have "recruited" him like he "recruited" the other kids that grew up UK fans and wanted to come here. He didn't call, or he didn't try hard, or once he found out they were interested they never heard from him again. One from Maysville comes to mind pretty quickly as well.
You're 100% right about Chris Lofton, however, Tubby recruited Tyler Hansbrough hard, in fact, he took his 2nd to last visit to UK, then took his last visit to North Carolina & committed.
Also the pitch that you will never have to attend a class and we will ignore all rules by flying your mom all over the country on the UNC dime.
Lofton falls under hindsight is 20/20. Kentucky signed Rondo, Crawford, Morris, and Bradley in that class. Lofton was ranked #126 in the class according to 247. https://247sports.com/player/chris-lofton-67303/high-school-118358/. While Lofton exploded having a great career for Tennessee Bradley was still solid for UK. Bradley actually had a better senior year at UK than Lofton did for UT. Bradley posted 15.9 ppg 3.4 assists 4.2 rebs 1.6 steals vs. 15.5 ppg 1.8 assists 2.4 rebounds 1.3 steals for Lofton.

This is the answer. UK had gotten commitments from Rondo, Crawford and Bradley. Crawford was the higher ranked 2 guard. Maybe #1. Lofton wasn't very highly ranked, if I remember correctly. Of course, Lofton had a spectacular college career at UT, but everyone was not singing the blues at the beginning of their college careers. Tubby in this case, made the right call at the time.
Lofton had cancer his senior year, it slowed him down obviously.
