Freeman committed
- Thread starter BBNUK4Life
- Start date
Damn. Pope is really an idiot.
And what did people say about Pope’s team this year and last year? Soft. Will fold/quit when punched in the face. Is that the team taking on the personality of their leader/coach?Oh snap
When you're starving a single french fry is better than nothing, but ultimately changes nothing.
They wouldnt be able to excite golf recruits. Does Pope even have any country club respect? Good grief.
What a complete disaster of a **** show.
Can’t wait for the pope nut huggers to tell us how this is a good thing

Post that as a thread, people need to see this. This is a major problem, everybody is negatively recruiting Pope.
Barnhart right now

Freeman isn't even that good, and we couldn't close it out. That's the frustration. He's got all kinds of warts and still couldn't close.
I’m going to go ahead and state my controversial opinion that Momcilovic isn’t the program savior level player some people are starting to wishcast him as.
He’s basically a rich man’s Koby Brea. Incredible three point percentage on a super high volume, but that’s pretty much all he does. He can’t attack the basket very well even against aggressive close outs because he’s slow and doesn’t have a great handle and isn’t a particularly creative passer either, although he at least isn’t turnover prone. He also doesn’t rebound much for his size, and although Iowa State hid him really effectively with their system and surrounding cast, scouts aren’t high on his defense. He’s a good player who would definitely make our offense better with his shooting, but he’s not really the type of guy who can take over a game on his own. Even if we could get him, it’s not going to put us in contention for much if we can’t surround him with a better team than what we’re heading towards.
I have never seen it posted anywhere that Stokes handpicked anyone he wanted to play with. Quit making up BS.
Yeah sign me the hell up for “rich man’s Koby Brea”!
Wow. This is completely inexcusable. Had two guys ready to commit and somehow lost both of them. It’s impressive when you think about it.
Anyone looking forward to that 3rd year yet. Been saying it since January. A 3rd year of pope will be a complete disaster.
I agree that he isn't going to save us from the fiery pits of hell, but the talent pool left over is sooo weak now, he looks like a golden nugget in a big bowl of turds. Realistically you gotta land a legit SF next to him and that doesn't look possible anymore either.
Agree. He’s a one trick pony whose trick is very good. But I think it’s crazy that he would get huge money. Much rather put that money into Graves. But who am I kidding. We’re getting neither.
Was in the marathon Rob Wright thread. Not my fault you have CTE or are some stupid old man.
As I have said there's not been one damn player that was good at basketball that was named Donnie ......ever.... and certainly not a black one.
🫶we good watch and see.
Freaking Larrys and Bernards have been good but Donnie?
No. Not happening

He’s a lot better that Jelavic, but yes he would’ve been a backup, a pretty good one. Doesn’t really matter much now.
Muurinen might just be odd enough to gel with Pope, or a big enough pain in the arse to help get Pope fired. Either might be a good result.

Does anyone know (all speculative) how much St. John’s paid? I saw something on IG that it was north of 3 million, if that’s the case, they can have him.
Im at the point where I just want some dude to come in and at least entertain me if we're losing.Muurinen might just be odd enough to gel with Pope, or a big enough pain in the arse to help get Pope fired. Either might be a good result.

Told ya not to guarantee a commit with pope as the coach. I don’t care who told ya or what the % is. This dude can **** up any recruitment out there.
I wish the Johnnies and Pitino failure, but not necessarily because they signed Freeman. That is not on Rick, that is on Pope. I still don't trust Rick (even though I appreciate what he did when here). Heck, might even end up thanking him if Pope fails and doesn't make it to year 5.
Going to be a long year. At least we all have each other. Misery does love company!

Bruh, you can’t still be taking up for him Jeff! Come on over my dude. The water is fine over here.
3 mil for a guy that over 2 seasons has played a combined 37 games with the same injury on 2 losing teams vs potentially 2 guys that may not be as highly touted but can give serviceable minutes, yea I’d say that’s better.
When we lose 20 games next season get back to me.
