I’ve been pretty upset over the Pope hiring; until now. It’s finally starting to make sense to me. Hear me out:
The magic was lost folks. Cal took that from us. We became a “players first” program. Not Kentucky. God bless all these one and dones that came here and did well for theirselves and their family, but it wasn’t with pride for Kentucky basketball. That changes today.
Pope has the passion and understanding of this great program. It isn’t a gimmick. This is real. He will make sure we have the RIGHT kind of players here.
If we are STILL Kentucky, this works. And deep down I think that’s been my biggest fear. That we are NOT. And that’s because of Cal and his culture, to a degree. The fear ends today. Let’s see if we still have a little magic in this great, storied program.
I’m in.
