I want a coach who isn't afraid to cut bait and go public on quitters. Years and years ago this wouldn't have been tolerated.
Like when Joe Hall kicked Sam Bowie off the team? Do you actually have one example of a Kentucky player being shown the door and being exposed as a fraud who was faking injury? Unless you have actual info that he has been healthy enough to play all this tarnishing of him seems pretty unfair.

I believe CMP handled this correctly. He stated that JQ was shut down several weeks ago which I took as his season was done. No one, except those inside the program, know the whole story.

It does not benefit our program for Coach to chastise either JQ or his dad, who probably deserves a dressing down. Pope has taken the high road and I believe JQ has no say regarding his situation.

Wow man that’s like, not even close to the same thing. The pope excuses are getting weird. Did Bowie’s dad tell the papers that Joe Hall misusing his son and then suddenly Bowie went out right after it?

Kid comes back from injury and plays, gets hurt again, people dog the kid out, kid tries to come back again and it's more of the same. Same people who said Lowe was faking it. Pathetic
Let’s just ignore that his dad was very unhappy with Pope and blaming him for his kids poor play Directly BEFORE he went back and sat out. Let’s just pretend that’s not a thing.

I do agree Pope is in a situation where he cannot recruit at all, and dressing down those 2 would make matters worse for him. But, I would still send him packing. Blasting me as the head coach then telling me who is and isn’t going to play? No. Precedents at some point must be set. Take the consequences. This is how it really should be done.

Doesn't prove a thing. Wah
Are you willfully ignorant or lack enough life experience to know that kind of correlation is almost assuredly a cause? He just so happened to go off on Pope about his kid playin for him then bam Woops looks like swelling. His dad must have been super happy it started swelling up because he was gonna make him keep playing!

Cowboy you don’t have to tell me your age I think I can guess. Somewhere between 12-20.

Pope’s timeline was just a little off. When JQ signed, he was supposed to be ready by October. The date just kept getting pushed back. Shaedon Sharpe 2.0
Not really, at least he tried to play, then got pulled for medical reason's, was Sharpe injured I don't think so, just using our facilities and eating our food until it was time for the draft.

It’s pretty obvious JQ could play if he really wanted too. The swelling is nothing but an excuse and he didn’t re injure himself (where are you getting that from). Kid is milking it and will test the draft. He 100% quit on the team.

You literally never shut up. Just rapid fire posting. Are you that hard up for attention Morg?
