Team coach.Nice interview, thanks for posting. Gave Travis Perry some love towards the end!
Having your best defender on the opposing PG will be a big plus. He will put fland in a blenderIf anyone had doubts that Butler would be our starting PG this interviewed took care of that. Pope loves him.
What little bit of video I've seen of Perry he reminds me of Rick Mount whenI love what Jason Hart had to say about Travis Perry.

Thank you for posting that ... NICE.I had to cut the first 5 mins
He looked taller in his return picture compared to Pope’s size. He looked a good 6’7” or so to me.Said he thinks Chandler is 2 inches taller now. Unverified of course.
Whoa, Blouman ... you're getting back into my vintage ! Just for all of y'all kids on the board - Rick Mount was a three-time All-American at Purdue, 1968-70. He was a scoring machine ! He took Purdue to the NCAA Final Game in 1969, but lost to UCLA in Kareem's last college game. Mount played five seasons in the old ABA, but a shoulder injury ended his pro career early.What little bit of video I've seen of Perry he reminds me of Rick Mount when
he has the ball.

Cal’s personality grated on people which I think put Kentucky in a lot of tough situations.Goodman actually may give us good press. He loves CMP.
That would be quite cool if that’s the case.He looked taller in his return picture compared to Pope’s size. He looked a good 6’7” or so to me.
At no time during that interview did the word simpleton enter my mind, nor did I think he was stammering and stuttering for words. He is going to kill it on the recruiting trail, once players get to know him.For a High Intellect guy, he comes across as a simpleton...a kid hanging out with his buddies. He stutters and stammers and searches for words.
But you know, he's about as genuine and real as it gets. A nice guy. No pretense. No agenda. Transparent. This is going to be fun.
I actually attended the 1969 Final Four at Freedom Hall in Louisville. I was 16 years old and went with a high school buddy (who was a Kentucky state champion in the discus throw). We had a blast. As you said, UCLA (with then-Lew Alcindor) beat Purdue in the title game. The other participants were Drake (yes Drake) and North Carolina (with Charlie Scott, a tremendous player who had broken UNC's color barrier). Just a fantastic experience for a young basketball fan.Whoa, Blouman ... you're getting back into my vintage !

I remember the name Rick Mount. Played a couple years for the Kentucky Colonels in the ABA who had the 3-point line before the NBA did a few years after the merger.Rick Mount.
Not many on this Board know that name.
He was born 40 years early. He was made for the 3 point era.
I was in Memorial as a young kid with my uncle during a game when Mount visited campus. When he walked in to sit behind the KY bench, you’d have thought God was in the building. All eyes were on him and people flocked for autographs. I’ve never forgotten it …Rick Mount.

Props to Mitch Barnhart for making the right call even tho he knew he would be attacked by some.That was awesome. I don't think we could have done better. Pope is super intelligent and so personable. He will get it done. I haven't been this excited about UK basketball since CCC was hired.
He's got to be tired, for one. For another, he probably has a million things going through his mind at once. It's tough to give the right words and make sure you're articulating properly when your brain runs 50x faster than your mouth. Plus, Pope is sincere, so he's not going to speak like a politician or a salesman.For a High Intellect guy, he comes across as a simpleton...a kid hanging out with his buddies.
