That’s probably one of the biggest issues right now. It’s like Pope only trusts himself, and sadly he’s not resonating with many guys being recruited. He can’t fix this alone.
Typical controlling guy who thinks he knows more than everybody else, but doesn't, and his company is going bankrupt.

Should have tried harder to keep BG, Jelavic and Chandler. Add those 3 and we are in good shape.

Many euro and African bigs. Especially if backups but anyone sold on Moreno without improvement will be disappointed. Remember, everyone writes off players because Cal recruited no Kentucky, players but kids from Kentucky play hard for Kentucky.
Who cares if they play hard or not. Playing hard and talent are two different things. How many Kentucky kids did Calipari pass over that made a significant impact in basketball?

I just saw where Moreno is a possible first rounder now.
We are in a world of hurt obviously if he stays in the draft.

No-contingency plan Pope is skating a thin line between being upper middle of the SEC to fighting USC jr. and MSU for dead *** last w/o MM at this point.

We're nowhere near upper middle even with Moreno.

Fair. I feel we have a chance to be 6-7 (likely 8 though) with MM, two added pieces (a Euro 4/5 most likely and a depth 3/4) if the team gels. W/o MM and/or if we play hero ball again, might only beat USC Jr.

If Moreno stays in the draft Pope might as well just give up and start planning what he wants to do next with his life.
