Injuries fella

What is this supposed to mean? I hate freaking Twitter.

If you don’t have that idiot on ignore by now, it’s on you. Luckily, i haven’t seen his ignorant posts for awhile now. Love it.

Pope knows this is his make or break season. Can’t afford team chemistry issues.

Can't afford not to have talent

 

[NociHTTP]

How would Kentucky fans react to having former dookie Mark Mitchell wearing a UK uniform?

Has that ever happened before at UK?

Like knowingly sharing an apartment with an internationally-known spy, and the two working opposite shifts.

 

[UKCowboys]

Only injury was to the point guard that couldn't shoot
JQ was hurt from prior season and was wasted money as was mo
Grade school coach could have picked better group

Yeah...that's logical and not the least bit over dramatic LMAO

 

[UKCowboys]

More like Hall dropped Pope.

Prove it

 

[bnewt5]

St. John's for hall
Kholer to byu

Mitchell up in air

According to who?

Trilly Donovan but he’s not always right

Damn. You are a bitter sad person. I don’t know the source of your bias but no one with a brain could read that and think you are objective.

Dud’s mommy has spoken.

Kohler’s been rumored to BYU for a while, from Utah, Mormon, immediate start at the 4 with no competition, etc. highly doubt any of these are ‘locks’ yet.

Off the top of my head these are the injuries I remember (Not giving Pope a pass, just stating factual injuries). I'm sure there were more.

Oweh - Turf Toe that caused him to miss most of the summer conditioning and team building practices
Lowe - Shoulder suffered in blue/white game, never fully healthy and eventually shut it down
JQ - Knee swelling (I won't count anything before the St Johns game, everything he missed after counts as injury)
Diaboute - Missed several games with a rolled ankle
Noah - Missed at least 2 games (that I remember) with a rolled ankle
Hawthorne - Injured in practice and could not break his redshirt as a result when we needed bodies
Potter - Injured back in practice and could not break his redshirt as a result when we needed bodies
Kam - Broke his foot and missed 5-6 weeks

 

[TheBestThereEverWas]

Best case scenario tbh. Would rather prioritize defense and Hall does not play any.

 

[wildcatdon]

Recruiting specialist Mark Poop strikes again. Apparently “Leading” for all 3 guys at one point, now it’s Hall to St. John’s, Kohler to BYU and Mitchell is “up in the air”

Are you back again? Gracious

 

[Damage_inc]

Are you back again? Gracious

Not for too much longer, School will start back soon and he won't have as much time to post.

He played half his college career wearing a dook uniform.

Would you feel the same way if it was a Louisville player?

Why would anyone gaf? If a player ends up at UK from duke or Louisville, it screams "I made a mistake on my first choice, now I'm going to a better place".
This is about money, stage and fit, nothing more. Not sure why you're trying to create drama.

 

[Anon846738]

That's the thing...Pope and the staff have the clearest picture of what they need, what they don't, and whether or not a certain player will fit in with what they have chemistry wise. I have always been a believer that in basketball, you absolutely need talent, but having an entire team bought in is without a doubt the key to hitting team goals

Well said

 

[kyjeff1]

Hall was eligible to transfer, and I would have gone for the sure thing. Plus, UK needs a small forward, as Kam is injured, and you can't count on him.

He played for 4 teams in 4 years… .zero NCAAT appearances.
He’s a sure thing alright. He’s sure to be a ballhog, he’s sure to cause lockerroom issues and he’ll make sure we would be a sure thing for the NIT.

Maybe Pope will purify him

According to who?

Trilly

 

[TarHeelInCharlotte]

Would the Heels have a problem with it? Doubtful. The circuitous route of basketball will likely find a former Duke player being recruited by UNC and if that player fills a need, UNC will welcome it.

So you're delusional. Good to know.

Trilly

Isn't Trilly the guy who had Hall 80% to UK earlier?

EDIT: nevermind, I see it was "kentuckypulse".
