A difference between Todd Golden and Mark Pope. Pope RSed Hawthorne, giving him 4 years to earn more pay and prove himself. Golden played Aberdeen in a handful of low value games for low
Minutes throughout the season to eliminate his frosh year. Even if NIL is not a factor, Aberdeen probably should have RSed and been eligible this year without the need for a rule change or long shot waiver.

As a top 40 4-star recruit (with good measurables), I would say "yes" -- very good chance he is the most promising player going into the season, given the "success" we are having in the portal.

If we get Stokes (and nobody else), may be a chance to finally have a UK-level year if Hawthorne emerges.

I don't trust Poop to make it all work, but I am objective and fair, so if he does have a great season, and uses the Stokes momentum to shore up future recruiting, I will change my outlook on him and support him.
Is your handle objective or subjective?

I love the optimism.



Hard to tell if he is really optimistic, or a damn sharp troll 😂

Sorry redwood, if you are serious, but it's hard to tell on here now days. I hope like hell you are right, either way.

6'9 with 7 wingspan with solid offensive game who does good off pick and rolls. Itll be interesting to see how he looks coming up season. I think pope wanted him to redshirt regardless to add some weight. I know argument is if he was good enough why didnt he play question. I think pope was just hoping things would finally turn around and didnt want to change plans for him. But I could see him having some similarities of nate ament from Tennessee

It means he is coming back as he said he is coming back and it was always the plan.
Just FYI since you think you know things, he said in an interview yesterday he had not even thought about it, when asked if we would be back next season.
