He’s a good player. I figured BYU with the religious and local connection. I think it’s interesting BYU had more success in the ncaa tournament with their coach prior to Pope and more success in the postseason and recruiting with the new coach after Pope. Really makes you wonder why Brigham Young University basketball fans are way happier now that he is gone while so many Kentucky fans cling to the notion Pope is Hurley 2.0 and going to be great just because he played here.
Don’t forget we paid BYU $6mil for mark pope too.

I’m afraid with Sankey and the SEC asking the judge to rule him ineligible he’ll have a hard time getting to play. Don’t get me wrong I’ve went on record on this board I’d want Mitchell more than anyone although Kohler would have been great.
Then are mo at lsu, Aberdeen at Florida, Garrison at Bam ineligible?

Look Mitchell has always been the first choice ,heck nobody knew he was a possibility till the zoom,They told him to wait and see ,and he didn't want to ,so I believe Mitchell will get the injunction and be a cat,he was always first choice
No one knows if that is true or not. 1st reports say pope and uk did not even contact Mitchell when he 1st became available, but they were already contacting kohler. Could also be true uk was trying to get kohler to wait until the Mitchell situation was decided. No one truly knows

Exactly.

So the logic of "well we didn't lead for him so it's not a whiff" is just wild to me.

The mere fact that we didn't lead for him and a large portion of recruits since Pope has taken over is EXACTLY the problem here lol.

You can't lead for everyone. This one guy in of itself isn't the problem. But its the pattern of always finishing 2nd or 3rd or 4th that Pope has had here is.
Exactly right but if you look at this continual pattern and acknowledge that there is a problem, then you are labeled a troll or non fan. Kohler and the over seas guy that picked ucla over uk are the latest examples.

Sometimes y'all guys confuse me on here. Is anybody seriously upset that this guy went to byu? It was said a week ago we were out on him.

I for one was kind of happy when I seen he committed to BYU. Simply because I want Mitchell and we can't have both. Now if Mitchell commits somewhere else I will be kind of annoyed because I am expecting him to be a cat. Never expected kholer to be a cat.
