Demarcus Henry to UNC

He pulled the same nonsense when the fans wanted Stoops, Calipari, and Barnhart gone.
He seems more interested in protecting the UKAA and the coaches than the success of the program. I don't know if it's some self interest involved, or some weird psychological quirk.

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.

Calipari Apparently Takes Subtle Shot At Pope after UK’s Desperate Bid for DeMarcus Henry

Kentucky’s reported Everestian high-balling of Henry wouldn’t go over well with Arkansas’ basketball coach.

You guys are total whiners and if you think the non stop negativity surrounding the program has no effect you are naïve to the point of stupidity. I've never claimed everything is great but all of the complaining helps nothing and does in fact hurt the situation.

I do not see that Cal took a shot at Pope with this at all. This writer has concocted a conspiracy theory based on scant evidence that relies on his biased assumptions.

Mark Pope makes Tubby Smith look like an ace recruiter!

Do you think your constant misguided positivity is fixing anything is the real question. Many, many people here started out supportive of Pope, but at some point you have to recognize the pattern. So how does pumping failure help anything?

I agree completely, enough with the whining. Kentucky is just no longer relevant in college baseball any longer and people need to understand that. It's a historic and storied program that is just no longer relevant at all. People need to give up on the idea of five star recruits and championships and understand the best Kentucky is ever going to do again is a sweet 16 maybe an elite eight. That's what Kentucky is now and all those whining about it don't understand that they are doing a disservice to the school.

Hell even the herald leader posted a story today ranking the top 10 duke freshman of all time.

If that aint a sign, I don't know what is.

From the article I read earlier, Pope wants maybe 3 from this years class and is saving money for the Portal and retaining guys. They don’t feel that any of these guys in this class are worth 5 million, however they still are recruiting them just not going to blow the whole budget. Now it might be all horse crap but it was an interesting article.

If true, that works for me. Either he has a great season this year and gets to pay to keep the team together or he has another 12 loss season & early tournament exit and leaves a huge budget for his successor.

He lives in your head along with about a dozen others on here

Once Pope is gone and we go back to actually being Kentucky basketball, nobody will think about Pope. Ain't nobody living in anybody's head. Do people think about Billy G? No. IT will be the same once we get a proper Kentucky coach.

I want kids who want to play for the name on the front of the jersey. We don't need players like that

I don’t know how anyone can’t see this is a blatant Louisville troll.

UK is one coach away from being very relevant. It's a coach lead sport, just as CFB is. Top kids want a coach that can get them to the NBA.

It has a ton to do with it. What outsider would want to be a part of that kind of culture? It doesn't just hurt with recruiting, its why there wasn't enough money in Fort Knox to get Hurley here and its why Scott Drew of all people said, you know what? Ill stay at Baylor over coming to UK. They can't blame Pope for those Whiffs
