Put me on ignore all you want.
I have read posts on this site that actually go so far as saying 'we' need to hope Pope fails so we can run him and Barnhart off. And even work to do that.
Let me get this right....we are such passionate fans we want the program to crash and burn so we can get 'who we deserve?'
Look, I was hoping for a bigger name. Instead we got a guy that coaches say has a brilliant mind and a great future. And someone that knows from experience what this place can be like. And wants to be here.
We have folks on here that never knew any coach except John Calipari. That's fine. We have folks still convinced one and dones are the only way....and that's okay too.
I have no doubt Pope will struggle his first couple years. ALL the guys we've cried for did the same: Hurley, Drew, Oats, Donovan...everybody.
In the Final Four, I would dare say ALL THE TEAMS TOGETHER had less NBA sure shots than Kentucky.
Time for the what has turned into the Pope experiment and try to be Kentucky Basketball, not just whatever name is on back of a jersey for one season.
I'm ready for a new AD. I'm also ready to see a program get rebuilt for longer than one year.
Good luck Coach Pope.
