Finally, some positive news

[Anon726530]

2 main assistant coaches gone, 2 of the worst effort players gone

I love progress, let’s weed out more of these players and put the head coach the administrators and the new athletic director up against some performance based results. When it is broken, everyone is fired until it again resembles something that we all once loved. Do not silence your frustrations, we have all of the money we need currently mis-managed by the incompetent

 

[Loucatfan30]

I say we extend Pope for doing such a good job this off season

 

[JPFisher]

In three days, we can start hearing even better news as guys jump on the roster. Hopefully. Maybe.

I need Pope to figure out his other assistant, though. Going into portal season short-staffed when you're already handicapped as a recruiter isn't a recipe for success.

Nobody worth while is jumping on. Please don't so this to yourself.

Has Mo made it to Lexington or is he out recruiting

I saw where a 6'9" guard from Virginia Tech was close to committing to us. Avdnedo or something like that.

 

[MarvinHagler89]

Karter Knox is in the Portal.

I say we make you an admin for being a great Kentucky fan.

We're going to find out within a couple of weeks if the Pope legacy will last longer than 1 more year.

Hope so

 

[FilsonCat]

I'd say we're in a place where we prepare for the worst, but hope it will all work out. There's a whole mountain of smoke out there, though. Tough to see how this gets turned around.

 

[philstat]

I actually believe the assistants left on their own, both of the players that left were McD AA’s, maybe, the ole Popester is the issue, more so than anything.

 

[Reggie Noble]

I actually think Mark Pope is learning and not being dug in, him searching for three star players and then filling out the roster with role players is a huge step. I also l like that the players that left, left. I was afraid Pope was going to be too loyal to them with playing time. I like what I see from Mark so far since the season ended. Find out in the next few weeks if it’s real.

 

[CatBearPig]

I can’t speak for the coaches but he cut dead weight from the roster.

Maybe he can save the assistant spot to hire and bring along a talented player

Don't know where saw this but I hope it is true.
Add this guy and the providence transfer to have a good start

This! I was afraid Pope would overpay Garrison because he has a family now. I wish Garrison the best but not at Kentucky’s detriment!

Alvin Brooks Jr's contract was not renewed. He didn't quit to join the ranks of the unemployed.

Could have been mutual for all we know

Pope let him go because he didn't make the recruiting impact he thought he would bring to the program. Brooks and Hart were disappointments.

Karter Knox is in the Portal.

He couldn't get on the floor in Fayetteville

Yep, because the head coach being able to close on recruits is the assistants fault.

Neoklis Avdalas? He's a baller.

 

[Goingfor9]

I saw rumors on Fox Mark Fox is he gone? Did he get fired? If that guy is still around next year, I mean forget about it. There’s no chance. I would’ve fired that dude before Alvin Brooks.

His contract is up in June so I think they will get rid of him then.

That’s great news. Pope totally doesn’t understand BBN, but by putting that dude on the staff. It’s a terrible get and probably half popes problem. I mean you need an assistant character and associate head coach and your call is to Mark Fox? We just leave it there.

Neoklis Avdalas. Virginia Tech transfer I think. 6'9" guard that can play multiple positions. He is interested.

Assist to Chatanoogawildcat for the correct name.
