Stokes announcing at 6:30 EST

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
Nothing would surprise me with this guy, even him picking somewhere random like DePaul.

Part of me feels like there's no way they would do that, but I also can see that if Self has any sway, and he does.
I'm saying the roster construction can finally happen depending on the decision. There are two different paths the staff will take based off Stokes coming or not. So either way the dominos fall once this is decided.
You’re getting pretty specific on how you want our team to fail to prove yourself correct. You sure you still like UK or do you just hate Pope supporters and want to see them proven wrong?
If we miss on this kid, it becomes Momcilovic or bust for Pope
Probably 10 threads already but I have so many on ignore here it is again .Mods delete if so. Hope we get him but will be glad it's over. Announcing around 3:30 eastern
The Hampton visit and offer makes more sense now. Stokes must’ve informed pope he was going to Kansas over the weekend.
I was told this kid HATES the spotlight.
..Pretty much my thoughts. I don’t think stokes does us any good for the reasons you mentioned and seems to be a very selfish self absorbed individual who rarely make great teammates. Next season will be a disaster with or without stokes IMO.
I think Self would have retired if he didn’t know that he had Stokes….hope I’m wrong.
If Pope cannot keep a kid from KY who was all but committed here, has a Nike agreement from going to an Adidas school then there is absolutely no hope for him at UK.
I don't want our team to fail. I am in literally every game thread cheering to win. I want Stokes, I want Pope to be successful with Stokes or top talent in general.
Pope coaching top talent would remove doubt substantially in either direction.
I hope if we do get him that is a decent deal and not some insane amount like 7 million.
Rather put our money elsewhere - football maybe.
Man best case scenario is he comes here and absolutly dominates AD Style and our new guards and him flurish. Please Lord, please - I repent of all my negative sins.

Some guy named Bruce9 seems to be 100% on UK. I think he's full of shat.
Well if he is Kansas bound im not sure that team being assembled makes them any better for Big 12 play, yet alone tournament contenders.
Im glad its all coming to a close!
Pope definitely fails in that department as well. Never a good announcement planned to steal the thunder or downplay negatives.
This^^^^^
I cannot find any reason to excuse this. There just isn't.
Yessoufou better than MM. Would need one of the two probably to save this class.
Y'all remember a few years ago when Jaylen Brown was announcing his commitment and he announced he was committing to Cal and 92.4% of this board (me included) thought he meant calipari? I feel like it could be that disappointing again.
