Not a whiff at all. We will have Mason and Zoom next year and most likely another highly touted HS guard.
Demarcus Henry to UNC

He can come here and sit out while repairing that acl to 100%.
Im not sure what to do about kentucky basketball at the moment. Laugh cry be mad sad... I really am just numb to it.
There's more than a dozen fans that cant stand Kentucky basketball being the way it is. Nobody really cares about Pope that much. They care about Kentucky basketball.
A lot on here give Pope way too much credit. The man shouldn't have ever been hired. Much less given three years.
It does seem like the money UK has to spend gets us a hat on the table with anyone, but even in this era you need a recruiter to close the deal
Imagine how bad it would be if Stein wasn't crushing it.
A coach people want to play for is important.
Weird that since football is doing good pope doesnt get any criticism anymote
I don't see how UK doesn't move on after this season. This team isn't winning crap and a change has to be made.
When you put it that way it looks worse than it is. He's really only 0/10 on 5 stars per season.
I know people think we’ll get Millogo, but why? Isn’t BYU also recruiting him? When has a player willingly decided to play for Pope when BYU has offered?
He’s really good at excuses. And for being such a poor leader of players, he’s managed to take lead of a cult of boomers huffing the 90s nostalgia.
That’s the scary thing. He is overpaying. And they still don’t want to play for his a**.
People talk about the Duke discount, but no one wants to talk about the Pope tax. These guys we have, these guys we’re offering, I bet you we overpaid for every single one of them. I heard we had to give Zoom an extra million just to come here after Wright played Pope.
Spoiler alert: none of the actually elite guys are considering pope.
He only listed UK to drive the price up. Pretty typical these days. Whiff Pope!
No thanks on Zoom and a highly touted freshman? How’s that been so far, lol
I see lots of weekends ice fishing this winter, myself. Ice fishing and drinking, but I repeat myself.
Seems very few top25 recruits consider UK these days. Tick tock, Pope.
It wouldn’t surprise me. He left after supposedly wanting to come here early, we whiffed on Rob hard, he then took about a week and finally committed. I bet Pope had to beg at that point.
sad times
Not saying you’re wrong, but, I see that excuse after every miss. Apparently, we’re just a perpetual hat on a table with every 5* we recruit & we’re never a realistic possibility. And, they do all end up going elsewhere, so, it’s not hard to believe. Which begs the questions, why do we continually waste time & resources on unrealistic recruits, who were never coming here & why is it that UK is always an afterthought, with no real shot?
Something ain’t right. Obviously, there’s a problem somewhere. I’ve refrained from going in on Pope, for the most part. But, it’s not too hard to connect the dots. We are a perennially ranked team that gets as much exposure as anyone. We have a huge budget & can pay as well, or better, than anyone. We have like 30 ex-players in the NBA. Not even mentioning our history & tradition. And, our coach is 0 for infinity landing 5* recruits?! But, it has nothing to do with him?! Ok.
