And we didn’t talk to him. He basically begged for the job.

I love mark pope but hiring a coach who has never won an ncaa tournament game versus hiring a proven final four guy foaming at the month for validation is insane.

Still gonna ride pope but he was the hire in 10 years. Pearl was the guy we should’ve got today.

Tough times don't last, Pope will. It's year 1 for God sakes.

We have an honest UK alum and player coaching and he resonates with these kids. Enjoy the ride because it’s going to be amazing. Don’t you remember how it felt before Kerr went down when we had a full roster? It’s just a shitty deal this year but give Mark Pope time.
 
Dumbass. Pearl’s son is coaching in waiting at Auburn. He’s not going anywhere and we couldn’t have hired him if we wanted to.

Did you hear him in the post game after he beat our brains in at Rupp? If you really think he wouldn’t have taken the call I don’t know what to say.
 
Not sure why the name calling but would Pearl not have basically the same team he has right now at auburn if he was here?
Go watch Chad Baker-Mazara play. He’s the type of player Pearl gets. Always a team with total punks. KD Johnson was a loud mouth loser for the past several years. Pearl loved him. Players are a reflection of their coach i.e. Pearl is a loud mouth with a past of his own. I’ll roll with who we have and know the future is bright. Triple C left the cupboard bare. Pope and UK basketball will be just fine.

This is just a silly take at this point in time. If this happens next year then I will listen to you, but Pope had zero time to recruit and the portal was even limited with players when he arrived. He had 0 returning players and on top of all that he was crushed with numerous injuries at key positions all year long. I am not sure this was ever a championship team, but we were way better when healthy than we are now for sure. Just look at the early games in the season when we were healthy.
