    Reed Sheppard's Legacy at Kentucky -- I hate to disagree..

    I think it's less about the time spent here and more to do with the fact they didn't win anything. If Reed played one year but won a title, I feel he would definitely be looked at in a different light.

    Castle to the Draft (UCONN)

    They sent 3 guys to the draft after title 1 as well and didn't miss a step lol.

    Starting to think Pope did a purge with his players meetings

    No one said he can’t. Just that he hasn’t previously. The focus here has clearly shifted which is fine but we have to at least acknowledge the possibility that we’ve gone from one extreme to another.

    Starting to think Pope did a purge with his players meetings

    It’s refreshing for a coach to put UK first after the entire Cal era. That being said it has to be about both. You can’t go from one extreme to another here. No one will come. UConn won back to back titles. They had guys between year 1 and 2 go to the draft. You absolutely need the talent

    Starting to think Pope did a purge with his players meetings

    I think like most said this was always gonna happen. Tho I will say this we have like zero players now lol. We have to field a team lol. Pope got some major work to do.

    Not a great start for roster building

    This was expected. Key will be can Pope recruit at a level that will make him and the team successful here. It might take awhile tho.

    I think you're bound to get irrational people when it comes to all sports teams. We just have such a huge fanbase that there's bound to be more of those type as well lol

    Curious how some are feeling

    What puzzles me is why recruit these guys then. Like my biggest thing isn't even the starting/not starting but if these guys are that fragile, they probably should not be playing for UK in the first place. I get Wagner with the connection but not Edwards. It was just a weird comment to be...

    Curious how some are feeling

    Yes. And ultimately this is what caused him to leave. This is the part that's always difficult to me. Ultimately its about getting results in March, but another part of me understands the nature of these one and done tournaments. A team could lose to a 16 seed and win the title the next...

    Curious how some are feeling

    I always viewed Cal tho as having a massive ass ego. After the title there probably was some truth to that about him feeling safe. I still think the guy wanted to win games. Unfornautely towards the latter end of this era he just wasn’t doing that enough.

    Curious how some are feeling

    Yeah I think the last part is key. He’s just a stubborn guy. Which is ultimately the biggest reason had to go. He will go to Arkansas, recruit well and try to win the same way he was for the last 15 years. Whether he’s successful at doing that we’ll have to see. It’s just hard for me to...

    Curious how some are feeling

    At the end of the day the guys that were in at the end was Reed and Rob tho. They also played more mins. So ultimately maybe he felt no harm there. I just think it’s silly to think Cal was doing it to Sabatoge anything

    Curious how some are feeling

    The thing even with Dilly and Reed not starting is was Cal intentionally trying to lose games by doing that? I don’t believe that for a second. I really believe that Cal did that thinking it was better for the entire team doing so.

    Curious how some are feeling

    This was always going to happen at some point. I’m indifferent. I mean it’s no secret Cal hasn’t done well lately. He had to go. And this was probably the best senario for both him and UK. As far as Pope goes obviously not the big splash hire but I’m excited to see what he brings to...

    Pitino just said "If they need more NIL money I'll write the check"

    I'm a part of a St Johns FB group (went to school there lol) and no one seems to care about the comment haha. They are probably just happy he's not jetting to Kentucky lol

    Kentucky no longer a blue blood

    The only concern I have with Pope is that we didn’t go extreme opposite. Like when two people break up and you go for someone that’s the polar opposite just because of what happened. Cal recruited at a high level. Problem was he made it 100%! about the players. To IMO the detriment of...
