Dink Pate to Providence

[FitchandMurray29]

 

[moses1uk]

Went to Providence

 

[anon1777473514]

It’s probably a good whiff. Still eligibility concerns there, unless something changed.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

I need some Tylenol

 

[BassProCat]

Providence got him and Byrd ….sheesh

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Not even gonna call that a whiff by Pope since that is so entirely off the wall

 

[champagnecat]

Hahahaha damn

 

[20MRoster]

WHIFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[TommyMansky]

I’m used to seeing him in a Kentucky uniform.

 

[anon1777473514]

Would

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Providence got him and Byrd ….sheesh

One offensive wing and one defensive lol.

Perfect level of school to take the risk imo. Not just risk with eligibility but how he’ll translate to college ball which is just different than G League.

 

[ParadiseKy]

I think we told him to look elsewhere

 

[Praetorian Cat]

Did you all really think he was coming here?

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Would

 

[mcwildcats04]

Pope spent all that time visiting him, all the buzz it was UK if he went to college, and then this.

 

[theBlues]

I was never fired up about Pate but thought Byrd was interesting. There are lots more of the same caliber left.

 

[Badabingbadaboom]

Heard it was a lock.

 

[mash_24]

I never wanted him. But I’ll be damned if Pope didn’t put a lot of time into recruiting him. I’m gonna hope Pope had a change of direction in the type guy he wants, but it’s probably just another whiff.

 

[RoyKent]

Who had Providence making the first two big splashes in the portal???

 

[JimboBBN]

I couldn’t care less about this guy

 

[Loucatfan30]

lol....hits just keep on coming

 

[BBNUK4Life]

 

[Loucatfan30]

0 for 2 vs the friars. wow!

 

[KentuckyFan1965]

Seriously wtf do we have to do to get players to come here. Damn Lexington has turned into a gd leper colony. We used to turn them away in droves.

YOLO?

 

[ala_kat2]

Got outbid probably. How much is Pate worth? I read that he was not a pass first guy. But we need a Yatzee. Soon!

 

[LadyCaytIL]

I heard some dinks love their friars but this is ridiculous

 

[BBNUK4Life]

I couldn’t care less about this guy

Agreed but Dope sure did. Put in alot of jet mileage seeing him. Whiff #1

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Pope really seemed to want this guy although I never really understood the hype.

 

[JohnRambo82]

Pope spent a lot of time on him but I’m not disappointed In this

 

[Jtf2217]

I'm not gonna say im disappointed yet. Never was sold to start with, combine that with potential eligibility issues and whatever and I'm glad we missed or looked elsewhere.
On the other hand this was played up to be a lock. I'm hoping we told him that we had better and sorry but with our recruiting in the past little bit it definitely makes you go

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Bet this was us and smu backing off with how its obvious the NCAA is going to make a move to make all the G league guys ineligible in the coming months.

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Good grief. There are so many better options. Some of you will ***** about everything.

 

[Goingfor9]

It’s probably a good whiff. Still eligibility concerns there, unless something changed.

Every whiff can’t be good and everyone we whiff on folks gave rationale why they weren’t a good fit. Newsflash we need bodies

 

[philstat]

Providence’s Coach is a hustler, no denying it.

 

[anon1777473514]

Some of us (me) were complaining about the fact that we are still going after non-shooters. We already put our allowance money in the wrong envelope last year…don’t understand why we are still licking the same stamps.

 

[JohnRambo82]

Good grief. There are so many better options. Some of you will ***** about everything.

Pope wasted a lot of time on this guy imo. This is a legit one to complain about.
