The longer we go…

[mbc82584]

…with no commits, no returnees (Reed especially), the more the shine of that press conference is going to wear off.

We literally don’t have a team right now and if you look at Kenny brooks quick work on the women’s team, you realize this is a game that is dictated by pace.

Add in the fact that the BYU players are mostly not following (not that they’re the cream of the crop either) and the ones we thought could come back most likely aren’t, and it looks like it’s gonna be a very rough year next year.

I was low on the hire, then high on it, and now I’m moderating back to how can we win if we have no players. Z to Arkansas is a huge blow.

The longer we go without filling out this roster the more of a disaster this will become. Pope will have zero goodwill with the fan base if he goes 15-15.

 

[K86]

Geez, the guy has been in the job for 48 hours.

[MegaBlue05]

Calm down. We've had a coach for 2 business days.

Let the next 2-3 weeks play out and then we can panic.

[CatsSnitch]

It's been two days get a grip dude

 

[kywildcat41086]

We have 2 weeks and a day before the portal closes WE WE WILL BE FINE…..

 

[KA4Prez]

And again, the expectation is a contender day one. Things need to start moving and fast. Hopefully that magic translates to recruiting.

 

[flacat22]

and the best part is that the OP has NO idea what is going on behind the scenes with recruiting and the portal.

 

[FtWorthCat]

New women's coach is definitely off to a fast start.

Like when Pitino went 14-14 in year one?

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

We don’t even have a staff yet. Chill.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

If the Duke game gets here and we don't have a roster, BBN will have the green light to panic.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

O No! Cal is taking all our guys! The same guys who got knocked out in the first round vs Oakland. Except for Reed & Dillingham. He’s not taking our 2 best players but still, Cal is taking everyone!!!

😉

Brooks has been coach for 2-1/2 weeks. Pope had his introductory presser yesterday.

 

[kywildcat41086]

New women's coach is definitely off to a fast start.

He also had a few weeks head start over Pope.

 

[UK90]

Pope will have zero goodwill with the fan base if he goes 15-15.

Pitino went 14-14 his first year and was still swimming in goodwill.

 

[flacat22]

New women's coach is definitely off to a fast start.

Good for him, he’s had about a three week head start and the majority of his signees have followed him from Va Tech.

 

[jbne222]

I’m all in and think we’ll be fine, but I admit I’m starting to get a little nervous. Wish I could fast forward 72-96 hours or so because I think we’ll have a better idea at that point

 

[bbncal02]

Geez, the guy has been in the job for 48 hours.

Shortest honeymoon in sports man.

Man, fans need to chill the eff out. Goodness.

He's not God.

Why is Z a huge blow? Cal wouldn't even let him play last season.

 

[stereonut]

I knew the euphoria from the press conference would be short lived for some.

Unbelievable.

I think you're joking.

 

[bookerfan66]

Pitino went 14-14 his first year and was still swimming in goodwill.

Totally different situation.He didn't have the portal.

 

[Bkocats]

Kenny Brooks was announced as the women’s head coach in March 28
He signed his first recruit on April 4

Can we give Mark at least that much time before we panic?

 

[flacat22]

I knew the euphoria from the press conference would be short lived for some.

Unbelievable.

I guess OP expected the full roster and staff announced today 🤷‍♂️

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

The longer it goes without BYU players transferring in is promising to me. It tells me Pope is swinging for something bigger than what he had back in Utah.

 

[anonymous_2011]

🤣

 

[thunderradar]

Its crazy we hold such high expectations of others but not of ourselves. Imagine day 2 of a job, any job and someone expects you to be the best in America at your position .

 

[Catfan2226]

We will have a full roster just have some patience.
Let's not forget, alot of players have declared for the draft and portal. If they withdrawal from the draft, they have the portal option to fall back on.
Just have some patience

How dare you interject good sense into this nonsensical thread?

Evidently!!

 

[I-Move-Like-The-Pope]

What and idiotic, or trolling post. I can't figure out which one.

 

[THE_HOOK]

It is all worth it to be rid of cal!!!

 

[K86]

I guess OP expected the full roster and staff announced today 🤷‍♂️

…and the #1 recruiting class.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Kenny Brook also came from Virginia Tech who was a very good school in the women’s game .

Pope is coming from BYU man . BYU . He has his work cut out for him

 

[uk78]

I did not expect a home run right away. Many were ready to fire Cal and take a step back. But Pope's enthusiasm has been infectious and maybe next season will be better than expected. I'd play for him.

First of all we do this every year with cal so but more importantly …. He’s been on the job two days …

You need to calm down, Pope has been the coach for 3 days

This. He needs time.
