Whelp it's over seems like. Back to Diallo and he will likely spurn Pope also.
I will have lost all faith in Pope if that announcement doesn’t happen soon. No chance he blew this one up. If he did, show him to the door!
Masterclass by Wright. Come to UK, BYU offers even more while on visit, runs it back with BYU, which was always the plan
Why this recruitment specifically? Wasn’t there always a chance he’d stay at BYU?
We’re going to be worse than last year. Pope is not the guy to connect with players in the NIL era.
No shot he whiffed on this one. This would be the worst by far. Good grief.
Wait. Haven’t you been speaking in absolutes that we had Wright wrapped up? What happened?
Back to Provo to sign his giant NIL deal.
It's a whiff my guy.
If he goes back to BYU they would have the optimal UK backcourt that we could have had. Wright and Chandler.
I don’t understand what he’s doing to make the program miss on players like this. Plenty of NIL money, one of the biggest brands in the sport, a ton of playing time opportunities, etc. Something is wrong here and it’s got to be corrected as soon as possible.
Yes I definitely have been. Was told by multiple people yesterday and this morning that was the case. I still haven’t heard any different except for the internet so I’m not doom and gloom yet. But I was told an announcement was coming today so for now it’s the benefit of the doubt. Did not expect to hear he left without the announcement though. That is what made me post that.
It kinda feels final. Like the deafening silence after a storm.
I know. I'm more so saying it as a "holy sh*t I can't believe he screwed this one."
It’s obvious at this point. Has to just be Mark in general.
Mark Fox sealed the deal on Tyran Stokes.
There might be other teams that need a point guard as well. CMP is gracious enough to let those guys eat first. No need to cut in line, just give them your spot!
I will prepare for catastrophe. Just in case
Players don't want to play for historic programs with boatloads of cash and starter minutes galore. They want a coach... wait that doesn't sound right.
Fire Pope already.
Ridiculous, everyone has money. Recruiting absolutely matters, coaches have to get the signature.
If Pope blows these recruitments and if by chance all of them? This coming up year will be the worst year ever and only pill billys and grey heads will go to the games like the sheep they are
I tried to tell you but noooo. I told you so.
I just don’t see how it’s possible to struggle this bad. Having just one recruit, which is a new assistants son and no one else is strange.
No confidence at all we can get Stokes at this point. Pope need to get a commit at this point, even if its from the #200 player in the portal.
You're no more tuned in than anyone else. Easy to see through your bs.
Yes. All things equal he would have never visited UK but the money wasn't the same.
How about next time, instead of trying to come across as an insider, preface your posts that you aren’t truly “in the know” because your posts sure had that pompous tone.
We are consistently the highest bidder yet we don't get the player. Money isn't the issue
