I know everybody is starting to enjoy a good pity party, but let me sprinkle a little hope into the mix from one of the most connected media guys in CBB:
Some optimism from Norlander on our situation
- Thread starter Jkwo
- Start date
With all the money we have and the UK brand, should have 0 issues signing talent in portal every season as well as some freshmen.
Encouraging.
We are starting completely over. No need to rush it, and several players have yet to hit the portal.
The Hart hire seems universally loved by the CBB folks, so hopefully they reel us in a nice roster.

Jason Hart should be an excellent addition. It sounds like a heck of a staff coming together for Pope.
@Dontworryboutit23 your guess was right on Osobor.
Would be awesome additions to our front court.
Figuero and Hart both look to be homerun hires when you read about them.
I’m all about the English bigs(Osobor and Williams) combined with Andrew Carr. Would be my dream front court currently. Great news with that tweet.
Stop being so positive. Didn’t you know that the sky is falling?
Great Osobor can really pass the ball. Would fit for what we have heard about the offense.
Plus he has the name of what sounds like a bad ass bird of prey
Can osobor & Williams both work, with what pope wants to do
I've watch several games from BYU, Utah st.
1st upgrade in talent pope needs to make is inside. He has to have a inside presence. It would improve his offense and defense tremendously.
2nd. Upgrade is a lead guard. Someone who can put pressure on the ball at the point, and breakdown a defense when they defend his actions!
These 2 things would take his team to another level IMO.

Osobar has impressive stats. Can score and rebound and good size for a 4.

Thanks for posting that. The pity party has indeed been getting insufferable.
I hope that he’s referred to as “The Great Osobor“ moving forward.
This made me laugh and you’re right.
Osobor/williams one of those 2, Shulga, Robinson, and whoever else, that norlander tweet restored my delusion get everybody pope
I like it. Hope this staff fills out and things can start getting settled.I know everybody is starting to enjoy a good pity party, but let me sprinkle a little hope into the mix from one of the most connected media guys in CBB:
I think some of us forget these are major life decisions for these young men. It's not like asking a buddy to go grab White Castle and it's a quick yes and on the move you go. The dominoes will fall eventually.
I noticed that too when I watched his video. And he's built like a brick shithouse. Him and Amari Williams would go a long way towards shoring up our frontcourt next year.
While I have zero “intel” I’d say Pope has his team…granted it’s close to the chest, but they’re verbally committed bit he’s waiting to formally announce everything all at once. Pope puts me in mind of a no variation personna that loves efficiency and streamlining…no need to tie up countless minutes for “announcements” (good or bad) so I expect a massive press release once the coaches are solidified and Coach Pope is ready.
Agree, if Hart is as much a warrior as a coach as he was as a player, he should be great. Coaches with passion is something uk fans are not used too.
I love a younger motivated staff that have experience but still all about the grind to prove themselves
That is good to hear.I know everybody is starting to enjoy a good pity party, but let me sprinkle a little hope into the mix from one of the most connected media guys in CBB:
I agree! I’m ready to get a flood of good news!! Glad the staff seems to be going well. That’s awesome. Probably help now that it’s close to official?
