Some smoke out there

[*Fox2Monk*]

He’s definitely old enough to go pro if he enrolls early.

That would be the most Pope thing ever. Hires the right guy to get a very high upside player, enrolls early and leaves like Sharpe lol. That would be some $H1T.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Just got a pack of swisher and a a trip from the dispensary. Plenty of smoke on the way.

I always preferred Optimo. Peach or Grape. They were always so much more fresh and tasty.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Show me a top 10 recruit in basketball that has enrolled early, not played that year and then returned the next year. If there are any, it's extremely rare.

Ones that pan out never. Maybe you have some Bradshaw types who did but few and far between enrolling early. Usually they are extreme legit if they move up a class or back to their original class.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Not a fan. Not when a player can bolt at will and play for any other school immediately. You use our facilities and training staff you gotta play.

 

[Omega_X]

Unless he’s actually playing in games then I prefer he stay in high school. We better not EVER bring a kid here early again to “train.”

Im not picky on the wrap. They all work for me as long as the flower is good. Illinois has some decent dispensaries. Wish Kentucky would legalize alresdy.

We better hope that he isn't a two sport athlete because if he decides to play for the mens volleyball team the pros will offer him the whole bank plus an island .

 

[BleedBlue63]

Stop. You’re giving me Shaedon Sharpe flashbacks.

Who?

If you not smoking the Tobacco itself then using fruit flavors for rolling is gross imo If I wanted fake fruit chemical flavor I’d get a vape

 

[CRZ4UK]

If these guys come early and are getting paid they need to play.

This makes zero since in 5 for 5. There is no redshirt or just joining a team. The second he steps on campus. His five year NIL earnings clock is ticking. Zero chance this happens. Zach Eady developed 4 years at Purdue. No one is coming early to develop anymore. 5-5.

I don’t agree I think the flavor wraps tasted much better than standard. Peach FTW!

Get an icey/slushie/shaved ice of your favorite flavor, get some of it in your mouth, and let a friend blow you a shotgun.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

So let’s hope not. Lets hope we aren't going to pay nil money for someone to just practice.

Would that shock you?

Not in the least, sadly.

As long as that friend is a hot female. Otherwise I’m good.

 

[SenseMaker_Cats]

Yes

 

[BlueRocker777]

Haugh

I'm pretty sure he only returned so he can finalize his masters degree in sociology.

 

[UKGrad24]

If that happens he is 100% going the Sharpe route. He isn't so excited to "train" and get on campus just because he loves Kentucky.

And honestly, Pope would be the perfect sucker to play this on.

“Are you an honest dude like I’m an honest dude?”

yes

“I believe people until they give me a reason not to, pay the guy and give his handler a job”

Golden, Oats, Wade - Look at this dumbass.

That friend in question is mark fox

Michigan is worth the drive. Just insanely cheap prices.

I’m always scared of crossing the state line

 

[Padsfs07]

Millogo just turned 19 in September so this could easily happen if he wanted to.

 

[theKybluedude]

Second hand smoke ?

 

[HolySmokes]

Second hand smoke ?

Lol im sitting by the bonfire getting second hand smoke and smoking a fatty. Guess gonna try and catch the game on the youtubes.

 

[sk73]

Unless someone is just top tier elite, or are old by measure, reclassing makes zero sense for the school in an nil environment. You're literally paying them for nothing then have to renegotiate to get them back.

So lets hope not. Lets hope we aren't going to pay nil money for someone to just practice.

Hawthorne, last season?

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

Hawthorne, last season?

Whatever we paid Hawthorne AND Potter was both a gigantic waste.

Yes I understand it was probably not that much in comparison, but anything was too much.

He needs to just focus on defense and driving to the rim and getting transition buckets. His jumper needs work.

 

[Blue Jesus]

Yeah, that is the thing that scares me about these African players. Manute Bol was probably like 48 years old in the NBA. Thon Maker was probably a 23 year old high school senior.

That seems like more of a concern for pro teams, but all upside for college programs if it doesn’t get discovered.

Yeah it does, but he is just getting his feet wet. Another kid that could be a heck of a player if he is coached up

I agree with you. He has insane defensive potential.

 

[UKCowboys]

I agree with you. He has insane defensive potential.

I don't think anyone will argue this is a make or break year for Pope. There are talented kids on this team. Williams, Wilkins, Zoom and Hawthorne are plenty to work with in the backcourt. Momcilovic and Kam are real solid wings. We have players in the front court. There are zero excuses for this team not to be very good by Feb-March. I can take a growing pains loss or two. But if we are playing he same kind of defense as last night and not running more sets on offense, then no one is going to defend Pope if things end early. Its make or break, I'm willing to let him rise or fall based on this year. No excuses

He's looking like a good option for us but we're obviously low on talent too.

My initial point though was paying nil to guys who were redshirting. Should've never happened.

I like our guards and wings. N'Diaye and Moreno are the two guys that need to pick it up IMO
