    Amari Williams officially to Kentucky, for real this time

    Does anyone else think the first 5-7 gets will be relatively easy for Pope? I mean you are selling the potential to start at the premier college basketball school. But trying to convince guys in the portal that are probably already leaving places they don’t play to come in and be guys 8-12...

    If we don’t start getting some commits soon I’m going to need medication

    I feel this. I’m tired of lying to my wife telling her I’m keeping up with baseball scores instead of fretting over UK basketball constantly. Otherwise, she was going to admit me.

    Baylor leads for roach

    Roach denied he got that kind of money on X. I am not believing these numbers that are being thrown out. That being said, this has gotten completely out of hand and it’s minor league NBA and I hate it.

    Reed declares

    Congratulations to the young man. He gave his all during his time here and I will follow his career in the NBA. He will always be a UK guy, not a Calipari guy. Go chase your dreams Shep!

    SEC referee dilemma

    I don’t think there is any doubt that there was a subset of referees nation wide that had a dislike of Cal. And referees are human and are not immune to human feelings about getting yelled at constantly. It will be a breathe of fresh air to have a coach that is not on some refs crap list.

    I am predicting……….

    I predict two things 1. We have a coach that is more respected in coaching circles and not a pariah. 2. We get a better whistle at home because all the refs don’t hate our coach.

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

    I am not sure their political or religious beliefs will line up well.

    Patience will be Key

    I’m not sure it’s a throw away year. I do think we could be a fringe NCAA team unless somehow Reed and a couple of the remaining guys come back. But I’m actually good with that if we can get some multi-year players in here and get the system installed. When Cal was coming back I wasn’t expecting...

    Coach Pope Coaches show

    Second. Got busy and forgot about it. I would love to give it a listen.

    BBN Tonight

    Yeah when I first read it, they made it look like he was going to be on but just reading the post, it doesn’t ever really say he will be on there.

    BBN Tonight

    Is Pope going to be on the show or are they just discussing it?

    Reed tidbit via MJ

    Yeah that quote floored me. For those of us that do still have fond memories of Pitino and those players, this is fun.

    Kentucky vs Duke...214 Days. We Need a Roster. Lets Talk Players...

    I think Big Z will love Pope's style if he will keep an open mind. He is a prototypical big for Pope's system. Good shooter and great passer for a big.

    According to MJ on X/Twitter re NIL

    Guys, that is all its going to take. College basketball is NBA minor league now. Like it or not. With the UK brand and NIL money, Pope is going to get players. Once the current high schoolers see his style of play, people will get to know Mark Pope really soon. I mean how many high...

    No wonder J Quantance left

    I would have loved to have JQ and would still love to have him. But, his style of play doesn't exactly match what Pope likes to do. He wants his 4/5's that can shoot the three.

    So much for the new hire........

    One thing I already like about him is who he will go get in the portal....shooters. BYU shoots a ton of threes, love to get up and go, shoot 3 pointers on the break. BYU presses at times, runs a zone when it is the right thing to do. Pope has a great demeanor and has an edge to him. People...

    ESPN: Its Pope

    When I first heard it, I didn’t like it. I’m starting to come around to it though. Duke and UNC’s coach didn’t have any wins at all when they were hired. Both have had moderate success so far. All the greats have to start somewhere. I’ll support Pope as much as anyone else and if it doesn’t work...

    Billy Donovan is the best obvious choice, and I think that’s easy to call.

    Donovan has been my #1 choice from the get-go. I would have cheered for any of the options that have turned us down of course but he is my choice. And I really don't care how many times he has turned us down. Maybe it just wasn't his time to join us. But if I had stopped asking this certain...
