“You can’t beat what they are doing.”

Not to pee on the parade, but I think that’s going to be incredibly difficult when Dan Hurley is at UConn. I'm hoping the Knicks go knocking on his door soon.

And ESPN right down the road in CT and you KNOW they won't let go of that jockstrap for a while
 
I mean we're gonna have a top 10 no matter what when Mr. Wilson commits.

I'm pretty sure Oweh and Garrison will play great but probably not get drafted and Chandler, Noah and Perry ain't going nowhere so we should at least have...

PG- Lewis 6-2 175 FR/Perry 6-1 188 SO/Portal SR
SG- Oweh 6-4 215 SR/Johnson 6-4 185 FR
W- Chandler 6-5 202 SO/Noah 6-5 220 SO/Portal SR
F- Wilson 6-9 210 FR/Portal SR
C- Garrison 6-10 250 JR/Moreno 7-0 250 FR

Are you absolutely convinced this team will be better than what we have this year ?? To me, what we get in the portal will be the key.
We’ll see … GO CATS !!

I agree and think our current team is being undervalued a bit just because it’s Pope’s first roster and was assembled quickly. I know it’s natural to always be looking toward the future but — at least on paper — I’m not sure you could ask for much more than we have this year in terms of just balance, depth, experience, and shooting across the board.

Exactly!
This team is loaded and flying under the radar.
But that wont be for long!
 
I may be drunk, but stop pissing away money on UK football and invest all of that in UK basketball. Pope is working and building something special and elite recruits are taking notice. That extra influx of money will make a huge difference 🤷‍♂️

Telling an SEC AD to take money from the football program?

Sober up my man lol.
 
^^ I really think this too. The guy seems to have leaned into the abrasive nor’easter dude persona a little too much. Doesn’t even seem all that authentic anymore, and it seems like he enjoys the celebrity aspect as much as the hoops.

I could definitely see that backfiring, or maybe he’s just so good he can just keep backing up that arrogance.

Oh, Hell No. I want to beat his ass when he's at the top of his game ... and I want the world to have a front row seat.

I think we have a top 10 team this year too. I'm just saying next year we should have the formula again to win it all.

5 players who will play in the system this year in Oweh, Garrison, Chandler, Noah and Perry.

4 highly talented freshman in Wilson, Johnson, Moreno and Lewis.

3 or 4 veteran role players with a ton of experience in the portal.

That's pretty much everything you need to win it all. Talent, experience, athleticism, shooting, glue guys, role players the team should check all boxes for a title contender. Yes I think we are this year as well. Just don't think the media will rank is as low with 5 guys back, a top recruiting class and some good portal player's.
 
Lets win a few games and see how we measure up against strong competition before we start talking about duplicating the Pitino years. This team has some talent but, so much is unknown right now. Let's stay positive and enjoy having a program again instead of a NBA feeder club.
