Apparently there is some buzz that he may come over with Pope from BYU. He had 25 against Duquesne in the tourney, scored from 3 and finished at the rim. Shot over 50% that game. Over 14 points a game for the year.

UK would be the 3rd SEC team he has played for. His 4th school in 5 seasons. He doesn't do much rebounding for a 6ft 7 guy. Tremendous free throw shooter.
Gotta start somewhere... why not a 5th year senior!
We need guys, he'd only leave this time because of a coaching change.
No doubt. That was just a Pitino like quick 15 second look at his stats.
Dude was really good at BYU--I would be very glad to have him. He was their leading scorer if I remember correctly. He was a starter but got injured during the season and the team was doing well without him... so when he recovered from his injury he told Pope that he didn't want to mess their chemistry up and wanted to come off the bench. Selfless player.
I have a good friend who is a huge BYU fan. They are devastated. They LOVED Mark Pope. They are expecting him to bring his best players with him.
Maybe with Pope's players being transfers theyll come in to Rupp like our opponents do and shoot what seems to be lights out from 3 against us but for us this time
He played really well in their loss to Duquesne (about the only player that played great for them that game). Here are his highlights from the game.
Besides the shooting I like how he is using his body when he drives and using the glass. How is defense and rebounding?
On the shooting he catches lower than I like , but I guess when you are above 6’6” that is not as important as when you are smaller guard and you need to catch the ball chest and above to have a quicker release.

Not sure on defense, and his rebounding could improve for his size, but I like the upside.
