I know a ton of you probably couldn't listen and most likely didn't want to,so I listened and wrote down what was said.
Good guy and personality.
-Talked with a ton of "basketball junkies" who said he would be a good hire
-Embraces Kentucky.
-Loves the offense he runs. Started listing off the offensive stats BYU averaged last season.
-Pope talks with NBA guys and adds stuff in that NBA guys use.
-The defense is similar to the 96 team. High press all the time.
-Confirmed that he already has 4 million pledged NIL.
-2 recruits Mark Pope tried talking to at BYU wouldn't even talk because it's BYU,but they've reached out already and said they would play for him at Kentucky
-Says that more people are reaching out and wanting to get involved in donating more money for the NIL pool.
-Talking about the interview. Mitch said he walked in and the first thing he said was "thank you for this opportunity for an interview this place changed my life."
-Admits the athletic department has been a bit lackful,but is hoping that this fresh start can help them get rejuvenated.
-Press conference will be in Rupp Arena. Sunday seems like the day it'll happen. Open to the public.
-The Process moved quickly because the dead period ended. He didn't feel like he could wait any longer. Wants Mark to hit the portal quickly.
- Says he hopes current players/recruits will hear Pope out before making a decision,but it's completely up to Pope on how he wants his roster constructed.
