Freeman to St Johns

[Loucatfan30]

And you think the answer is Rancik? It sounds like you think he is, otherwise, you wouldn't be disagreeing with me.

Answer is fire Pope ASAP.

 

[Loucatfan30]

Youre still a *******. Equally precision

You are still a dumb @@@

 

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

Freeman is the #15 ranked guy, Rancik is 100. I totally get why Pope wantes Freeman but he should have been damn sure he was going to land him.

You can’t be sure. Your dealing with lawyers and agents.

 

[anon1777473514]

Got to be hard to admit you are a 100% Pope guy at this point. Luckily you don't have to show your real name on this board.

Why? For having an opinion you don’t agree with? Grow up.

Takes one

 

[anon1777473514]

I hope we take a good look and shot at Graves.

Me too, Bill

 

[Woodrow24]

Me too, Bill

That would be a good move to make at this point.

 

[JASUN74]

Some fans think recruiting is easy.

I get it, but should it be this hard the last few years at Kentucky? Serious question. I know History and all the perigee doesn’t really matter anymore, it’s all about Money. So shouldn’t Kentucky, with just as much money and more than most, be able to get some of the guys they want? At minimum the 2nd or 3rd choice?

 

[Loucatfan30]

For living in an alternate universe apparently. Anyone that still holds out hope this guy can do it still believes in Santa Clause!

Ok pal. You’re so smart. Yay for you.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Wasting time with a 3rd year oh well. Pope should do the right thing and step down.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

I think this is an extremely obvious case of we didn't want him anyway.

I axed like 5 people at Fillups this afternoon and no one wanted Donnie Freeman.

Well maybe if you hadn't axe'd then first they'd tell your their real opinion

CMP seriously might not make it out of the summer alive at this rate. Fans are going to chew him up and spit him out. I get that $5 million/year is a lot of money, but it’s not worth your sanity.

I’ve been saying that for months. His body won’t be able to handle this, he looked terrible last year. Lost weight and looked even more pale if that’s possible.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

I won’t be surprised if we still get Freeman. I honestly think we still do. It doesn’t change the fact he wasn’t a world beater at Syracuse and his team won 6 conference games. He is good because he is the best of what’s left. Pope got burnt depending on the portal for a PF. There are some good ones, but unsurprisingly, Pope picked the wrong one to target. I’d be on the horn right now and pivot. Freeman isn’t that good.

No it doesn't. Pope has been garbage since he's been at UK.

 

[FilmNerd]

This dude seems to have a hard on for you

No I just love calling out the know it all clown. But by all means keep hanging on his every word. He gets off on it

 

[keepingit real]

No one is reporting Freeman to St John’s. It would be all over HOB if that was the case, and it’s not.

May end up being true, but at this point not buying it

 

[paulcalhoun_rivals397471]

Refusing to consider all the facts is your choice but it is unfair and stupid. If you would look at the link I attached you would realize Pope has played the two toughest schedules in school history. The SRS number rates performance against said schedule and it isn't nearly as bad as you believe.

 

[Monday Nitro]

No it doesn't. Pope has been garbage since he's been at UK.

3 out of 4 against Barnes, 1-0 against Sheyer and slick Rick, 1 and 1 against Cal and Few, all with us riddled with injuries. You win the award for biggest Pope hater on the inernet. You literally never stop.

Now if he can find a way to get up against football schools

Does any of that seriously matter when he’s averaging 13 losses a season while finishing 6th and 9th in conference?

The year is 2045 and rupps rafters top thread is "we will be indiana soon"

 

[Captain Coy]

I think the issue here is that they had Rancik. He wanted to come, and Donnie Freeman isn’t really that much better. Offensively Rancik fits Popes system probably better in fact and we continue to get used in a way that allows Agents to increase the value of their clients at Kentuckys expense. The business side of these negotiations need to be upgraded significantly or else we will never land any players we are targeting.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

That’s looking more like the absolute BEST thing scenario.

That would be a home run. He will be lucky to make an NIT. A 20 loss season on the horizon

This is why you have not heard me deviate from what I said. Freeman cometh, even though I’m not a fan of his. Best available doesn’t make the best fit IMO.

If we do miss and I was wrong I’ll be happy. I’m looking for a few big names to enter portal last minute and we end up with one.

I would not be surprised if this is part of a pressure campaign between Freeman's agent and Trilly, to squeeze more money out of Pope. This is not sustainable. It's not all Pope's fault, and it's mostly on Barney.

Winning some regular season games against rivals is his crowning achievement? Quite the bar that is set in Lexington now.

Haha...you are so full of ish! Absolutely full of it.

 

[UKgrad22]

Freeman’s camp is most likely trying to create urgency from teams and get someone to bite right before the end of the portal. They may see the writing on the wall that if a more highly touted PF enters that readjusts the market, they lose out on potential millions. For now it’s just a stalemated waiting game.

6th and 10th place SEC finish, hasn’t made it to the weekend of the SECT, 3-2 in NCAAT and 26 losses in two seasons.

But, feel free to keep pumping mediocrity. This is UK

No. Nice try. Saying he’s completely sucked the whole time is what a snot nosed little fat kid would say.

Are you insinuating that Pope doesn’t know the “assignment?”

 

[DWDwildcat47]

He knows the assignment he just doesn't know how to complete the assignment

 

[jad502002]

Really was hoping Pope would succeed but not looking good. I'd tell Freeman take a hike. Jmo

 

[MidseasonTweak]

His agent already told us to

 

[JakeKx]

You should be hung by your tiny nutsack for not putting per trilley in the thread title.
