Upgrades at what position I wouldn’t be so certain. You think this guy is better than mod? You think he’s better than.Oweh?
McBride is better than Jelavic and Ousman better than MoD yes. That was the 4 position last year and Morton isn’t coming to start he’s the 8/9 man playing backup guard, he replaces JJ in last years rotation. So yes, clear and definite upgrades. No way to spin it that it’s not.

Just like my exchange w/ MT, I understand what you're saying, but the staff has got to realize NOBODY cares about McBride.
You would think so. But, if he misses on Stokes the McBride announcement will just piss off ppl more than anything else, IMO. They should 100% realize that. But, I sense great tone deafness in this regime & wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if they think McBride will appease the fans after another big swing & miss.

They’re keeping him down, the man, telling y'all now, he’s a sleeper, literally.
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: For real, this guy sleeping at midcourse during an SEC game would have the same impact of him playing. Maybe the opposing PG would trip over him and turn the ball over, that's a net positive.

It would be a huge PR blunder to announce this commitment if Stokes goes elsewhere. This guy will be both ignored and or ridiculed. I believe this is a positive for Stokes.

I agree. Timing actually seems good for UK tbh.

So Kentucky got a player thats atleast good news. Im thinking 5 more guards and a small foward that can not only shoot but score. It takes atleast 8 strong to survive the SEC and Mark for one should know that. Who's doing the homework and who's the next commit?

This roster feels like a late Tubby years roster to me. I hope you are right and they are much better because I just don’t see it yet.
Took the words out of me. Was typing "didn't Tubby get raked over the coals for recruiting similar (hell, probably better) players?"

Yes, but nobody cares that we got him IF it means no Stokes. The point is that the staff would be dumb as bricks to think this would somehow cause less pain from a Stokes whiff.

It’s worse than that. It would be pointing all that frustration at this kid instead of at Pope. It would be an amazingly bad PR move. Our athletic department is poorly run though so it wouldn’t surprise me.

I would hope people wouldn't take it out on a guy like Mcbride who really wanted to come here. Not his fault.

Need to stop complaining about the quality of players signing. Let Pope bring in the team he wants.
If successful, he earned it. If not, it’s on him.
