- Thread starter University-6

assumptions. The coach will decide. We shall see.
4 star SGA wasn't supposed to start over Quade.

I would wager Pope and this young man have talked through Popes complete vision and plan for his future and those conversations don’t stop after year one. Why argue against good news?
Pope isn't just thinking about the team next season. He is building a foundation that will ensure success in future seasons.
Williams, Hawthorne, Johnson, Moreno, Chandler, Noah, Lowe, Jelavic, and Dioubate all can figure to be multiple year members of the roster. Not all of them may last longer than a year. I'm sure Pope figures there will be some transfers, but a few staying and providing continuity is fantastic value.

Add 2-3 top recruits in the 26 class and we will be rolling.
Perhaps you mean the roster.
No one but🐄 sets rotations before practice starts.
Is there a list of said rotation?
The coaching staff have worked their asses off this offseason .
Salute
Salute
Probably Pope did not think Howthrone would come here two weeks ago
Anticipation of the 15 going into effect?
If not maybe a little phat pocketed walk on action for him or Potter?
Probably we will recruit guards in that class, we do not lack 4 and 5
And if Kam and Howthrone stay, I do not think we have a room for another major SF
Hawthorne is 6'8'' and has a 7'3'' wingspan.
If he has a modicum of skill and/or isn't a snail, he should be on the NBA's radar.

Now that's a great trade for acaden lewis. What yall think? Stoked!
Maybe he knew something we didn't know?
You really are a contrary cuss, ain't you?
It's official Mark Pope you are due one hell of a vacation! Take a break now. We don't want you burning out.
Freaking awesome! I think he’s a great piece to develop on the bench this year. He’s got a lot of upside.
bud I have been one of the more positive people on here this whole damn offseason. Me pointing out a kid isn’t gonna get to play a lot here and would get to play a lot at another school ain’t a damn attack on Kentucky. He is getting sold on a developmental plan, if he is cool with it, than great. But he would play at the other options early, which is why I am shocked he came here.
That is incredibly refreshing. Just more proof that we have the right guy in charge.
An embarrassment of riches comes to mind. Think Pope was serious wanting to dominate everything every day forever.
Hawthorne if he sticks around and develops is a great add. I just think we all have reason to be skeptical whether the players stick around for the whole process or not now. Glad he is cat.
I’m pleasantly shocked too. Really thought he would go to Pitt or WVU.
I cannot stand ESPN. So the little story of Hawthorne coming to Kentucky they keep saying top 100 recruit. Then go on to say his Sr. Year he moved up to 81st. They never mention him being 33rd?
I mean come on. The hate is real. They do this crap all the time. But when it's a Dookie they blast as much positive spin as possible and always use the best ranking they can find.

By most accounts, rumors mind you, he took less to come here and compete for a job. That doesn’t sound like someone who will take off in year 2, unless he sees no path to playing time. If that is the case, we have a hell of a team next year.
Can't go wrong with a guy that his shooting is his forte right now. Able to get his own shot now and his length and athleticism at that size. Not to mention he is a top mannered person.
Pope's first true out of the state high school recruit in UK
Not bad!
After all we been through with past regime. We sorta getting blessed in the right direction now. Go Pope! New shirt idea "Pope recruits the whole boat!"
Shows me he really wanted to be a Cat. Awesome because he gives us yet another option. He can sit and learn with really no pressure. If he’s better than we think he may even play a little.
I honestly didn’t see this one coming with an already stacked roster! Welcome aboard young fella !!!!
Im lost so is he 33rd overall or 81st as ESPN states? That's a big difference.
I can’t wait for the 28th. OO returning will make this offseason perfect.
I’d say ESPN hasn’t updated their rankings in a bit. He’s rising everywhere else. I don’t really care where he finishes honestly. He’s hitting his best basketball and we may get him multiple years which will be awesome.
He said that? What exactly did he say? Seems odd for him to say that, knowing he was still adding more guys.
Welcome my friend we are glad that you committed to Mark Pope and Kentucky. BBN can't wait to see you play.
Eh, I think he is A LOT better than 33.
Edit: This isn’t your typical college team. You either bring your A game to practice everyday or you’re gonna get embarrassed on the floor. I don’t know where Pope is gonna find enough minutes for everyone if JQ is ready at the beginning unless he runs the wheels off this beast. Not my problem to figure out but I’m sure gonna enjoy the show.
Can you imagine if Pope gets a championship this coming year? He will have a very long career to get number 2 and if he does man he would be passing some really really good coaches on the Kentucky coaching totem pole.

Effort should never be a problem with next year's group.
The long bench pretty much guarantees that.
