5 stars on what site? How many posts are you going to make about the same thing? I don't see 3 5 stars on rivals or 247

Well if you combine ESPN, ON3, and 247 then you get one ranking for each that is a 5 star. Calipari has convinced the younger generation that you can only win with 5 star recruits. Last I checked we haven’t been to a final four since 2015.

Oh, Cal definitely started our decline. While Pope's record has not been stellar by any standard, the all-time wins gap between UK and Kansas declined more under Cal. So I guess you could say Pope has not thrown dirt on us, he's just not digging us out of the hole Cal dug us into.

As much as Cal’s waning years screwed us, we were still respectable. We’ve basically received Tom Crean at Indiana levels of derision under Pope. The media, opposing fans, and Pope’s fellow coaches. There is zero respect.

Can't say that I disagree, but I'm waiting to see if how this season plays out before I start feeling like UK is the new IU. But my point still stands. Cal coasted in his "waning years" and that's what made a coaching change inevitable. We were just victims of a possible not so great hire by the former AD.

Will Wade is a POS human being. He is however a really good basketball coach. This isn’t brain surgery. You can either coach or you can’t. You can either relate to recruits or you can’t. It doesn’t take three years to figure it out. We know what we have and it ain’t good.
