I read the press statements that UKAthletics has released on our seven of our nine signed players. All of them include quotes by Mark Pope, as well as deep-dive statistics showing why it's especially valuable to have each of these particular players together in Pope's system (Such as that Carr has been a team captain of every team he's been on and that "Brea is the most efficient mid-to-high major player in college basketball in the last decade"). Wonderful and useful stuff. It's frankly amazing what Coach Pope has accomplished already in terms of teambuilding here, starting from scratch with late notice. For your convenience, I've linked the player overviews all here:
