Every player that Pope gets involved with (that any other team actually wants) seems to be "the most important player he's ever recruited". That's what happens when you miss so much.Doing it on instagram IS the basic formal announcement these days.
Pope had better land him. This is the most important player he’s ever recruited.
Jesus dude. Chill out a little. I was just having a little fun. I swear this place has gone straight to shiit lately. I know exactly what everyone else in the world knows about his game. No one in the world thinks he’s going to be Larry fing Bird.There is no reason to be expecting any such thing. There is three years of film, he is a good player and elite shooter but he is pretty far from Larry Legend as a complete player. You are talking conservatively a top 10 all time guy and a crazy level passer.
Awesome story my friend.I'll never forget being at church camp at 10 years old and it was the first time I had unlimited soda at my disposal. While the boys were finishing up swimming all 40+ girls had congregated outside the pool fence. I had to piss so bad I jumped out the pool and soon as I got through the wooden fence I pissed like a fire hydrant going off. All of a sudden I hear girls screaming. I had not looked up or I'd of seen all these girls 15 feet from me. Some screamed, some cried, some stared and some prayed lol. It's literally my most hilariously embarrassing memory from childhood. I think I may have even splashed urine on some of them lol. But damnit I had to go. And I finished and shook it off and ran back into the pool.
But what if he was?No one in the world thinks he’s going to be Larry fing Bird.

Taking my talents to blank kinda deal.He may be wanting to make a more formal announcement, that’s my guess
IU? Why is that the college you're linking me to? You must have early onset dementia or something. I am generally positive over my entire posting career here. In every game thread just about.the iu troll has spoken. negative until here recently. i give you props for being positive at all. lol
Exactly, he’s a fake insider these days. His only sources are national folks and Pope doesn’t talk to them either.Matt Jones hasn't had any real recruiting info in years.
If they ever want to play professionally there's going to be pay discrepancies. Some guys are on max contracts while others the league minimum. Besides, guys getting paid the larger amounts are expected to perform. Comes with the territory.Every single program in the country (and every single pro team on the planet) deals with pay disparities. These kids have dealt with being recruited over, losing minutes to other guys, etc. their entire playing careers. They understand that sports aren't "fair".
The idea that introducing money is going to magically screw our locker room uniquely is just not a cause for concern. Its the way the sport works now, and effects every program.
That does sound like a Mitch rule ("Kentucky Basketball shall not ruffle the feathers of any other program on campus"). If we've truly got him then he might decide to let them announce it right now to distract from this disgusting collapse.I'm hoping they are waiting to announce after baseball game..
Can’t wait for it to run correctly, for once.To some extent, there’s an element of these things in any system, but without a “set play”, the need for proficiency in each of those categories is amplified in the continuity offense Pope uses.
This is why not everyone can run it. When it’s run correctly, it is extremely difficult to defend against.
I’ll give you it was better than the second year. Popes problem is if the offense isn’t clicking, we are getting smoked. I still can’t understand how someone who played for Pitino can’t coach a lick of defense.I think the first Pope team ran it great. They just didn’t have the athletes to exploit more backdoors and cuts from it. I’d expect this year’s team to run it great also.

This year’s team would be much more athletic.I think the first Pope team ran it great. They just didn’t have the athletes to exploit more backdoors and cuts from it. I’d expect this year’s team to run it great also.
Like who?The other twitter Kentucky people have already backtracked and said it's not over yet
You are probably right. I may be being a tad too harsh. I just want us to win it all or not even make it. Something has to give.2025 was a top 10 offense in KenPom, kind of insane considering the roster situation and the injury problems.
2026 was abysmal.
I think the difference in 2025 and 2026 can be summed up by having the right personnel for your offense versus trying to just make it work.
Defense is a different story.

You already know. Telling Milan how beautiful he is and what not.Pope was being weird on zoom again wasnt he
