    Alvin Brooks III hired

    He had some domestic violence reports/concerns. Mitch wasn't allowed to interview Beard or Pearl due to their pasts. I have my doubts Rondo is going to get the clear from the higher up's in the university.

    Alvin Brooks III hired

    I didn't think Fox was in a GM position. My understanding was he was a non-recruiting assistant brought in for x's and o's and specifically defense.

    Ugo in the portal

    Legend has it, he's going to visit Louisville in the near future. Get ready to learn "can't rebound for $hit" buddies.

    Johnell Davis

    Word leaking out that UK is out too. Visit cancelled.

    BYU's "honor code" for recruits

    This was actually the very thing that changed my mind on Pope. How do you win a basketball game with that humungous anchor weighing your recruiting down? He'll get way better players here. He'll win more games here.

    Did we ever get the story on Drew’s family’s visit to Lexington?

    This. I can make a lot more doing my job in rural Montana. I like where I'm at.

    Why doesn't the Hurley logic extend to Sheppard?

    It's just a lot of what if this and how do we not know that? I think the kid is probably wrestling with it as we speak. I just think in the end, long term financial security wins out. Dan Hurley already has long term financial security. Without Kentucky's 11 million a year--he'll still...

    Who is the new assistant coach that is going to be announced today?

    I think he's probably bringing Cody Fueger and Keegan Brown (analytics guy) from BYU. If the goal is to make a splash hire: Brandin Knight from Rutgers would be the biggest swing. If we're considering former UK players: Nazr Mohammed is the one. Make him the GM/NIL guy.

    Why doesn't the Hurley logic extend to Sheppard?

    It's just not the same. There is absolutely a point where more money doesn't really change anything for you. But 1-2 million in NIL aint that point. Hurley is making over 5 million a year, and stands to get somewhat of a raise. He has a long term deal. That dude is literally set for life...

    Not a great start for roster building

    I never expected to keep any of the current players. Our only hope is that Reed comes back, but I suspect he'll go pro. I never expected to keep any of the recruits to stay with us other than Perry. When you do things the way Cal does things: meaning tell kids if they come to Kentucky...

    Big Z Meeting with Pope Monday!!

    He would be so great in this offense. He's probably THE best big man for it. But if he doesn't want to be that guy, we can find a great replacement.

    BYU

    Robinson and Khalifa probably come. I thought Hall would, but he doesn't have us on his list--that tells me we already have another PG lined up.

    Collin Chandler

    He's the guy that left Arkansas, and found a coach that would actually develop him. He played really well against Big 12 competition last year.

    Pope and BYU

    Agree. They were a top 25 team. They were 12th in the last NET update. They were a 5 seed. He had a tournament team with that group. I think he can take 3-4 guys from that roster to form the core. Add some portal upgrades. Bring in whatever recruits. He'll be in a spot to make the...

    All of the Calipari stubborn things that won't exist with Pope

    "March is all that matters." "Well, you can't define our season by this 1 game in March."

    All of the Calipari stubborn things that won't exist with Pope

    Skipping Maui Skipping the Nike tournament Scheduling nothing but quad 4 games in December. "We haven't practiced zone" No out of bounds plays No DEFENSE on out of bounds plays Not using timeouts. Actual coaching adjustments not existing Not being transparent about injuries and whether or...

    At what point do we STOP it with...can he recruit the best.

    I don't want 5 stars that want to be 1 and done. Maybe 1 or 2 a year. I can't go back to having 5,6, 7 guys that only care about the NBA. Give me a team full of Sophomores, Juniors, seniors and portal transfers that WANT to be where they are. I think with the Kentucky NIL bag, and the...

    He gone.

    Surely the boosters can derail this, right?

    We REALLY don't need to derail it. The narrative that no one wants to coach here because the fans are crazy is overstated. But if we run off one of our own before he even starts--that's a BAD look.

    Pope's Assistants

    I didn't want to Hire Pope. I think Nazr is a great hire, UK alumnus or not. Being a GM and Scout in the OKC Thunder organization is a lot of qualifications/merit. I think he's a lot more deserving than Chuck Hayes.
