So like a lot on here I was initially shocked by the hire and had to process it. When you love this program so deeply sometimes you can go to dark places. But im back in the light. I just got to watch the entire Pope introduction. Wow, impressed by Pope and BBN. BBN should be proud and like always out did any other school. I literally was holding back tears watching it and my heart swelled with pride. Like the prince once he saves the sleigh 😛. I know it won't all be rainbows and sunshine, but I have hope again instead of I've seen this movie before with Cal.
I'm all I'm and can see that big things can be possible again. We are at the very least getting the opposite of what we hated about Cal. I'm sipping not gluping the blue kool-aid, but I'm feeled with hope. Do I still have worries? Ofcourse.
I mainly worry about Pope being able to recruit especially in an age of NIL and the portal when so many kids don't care about the name on the front. I hope in the coming weeks we see a world class group of assistants unlike Cals buddy system. Guys that will probably get hired away for head coaching spots after they prove what they can do here. I also hope we see the roster start to take shape soon with guys that want to be here and have the talent to take us back to the top quickly.
However, I know patience will be needed which is hard after the Carter Cal has left us in over this past decade. Anyway I'm all in. I'm excited and feel the pride that had been slipping away.
Being in Louisville and having plans I would have loved to be there. What a showing. Way to go BBN. You gave a showing to show why it matters more here. I'm ready for the Pope and maybe even some early miracles.
Let's F**king go!!!
(*Sorry for the long post just excited again and getting caught up.)
