F off.Tell me how great the recruiting is right now.
Well the staff still isn’t finalized and Pope is constantly at work and you have no idea what’s goin on behind the scenes. We just locked up 2 of the best recruiters in the nation but you constantly wanna point out the negative shit. You have no patience in your body. Soon as you hear something “negative” you are guaranteed to come and cry about it. You don’t post shit in the positive threads like us hiring brooks.

Crybaby42 needs to be your name.
 
Top 10 three-point shooters last year. I still like Brea. ;)
Brea is visiting UConn this weekend as is Mahaney.

McNeely is expected to commit today/tomorrow to them. Brea was recruited by Hurley/Staff out of HS and took a visit there-he's got ties there and when he entered the Portal they were mentioned by Trilly Donovan along with Kansas as the heavy hitters.

Mahaney is visiting more likely because they are waiting to hear what Hassan Diarra is going to do in terms of returning for another year or not. He'd fill that role for them. They could take all of them if they all wanted to go but seems like they have McNeely/Brea listed as priorities and Mahaney is visiting because they want to be ahead of things in case Diarra doesn't return.

Wow.The good news keep coming.

Could be regarding Mahaney. Don't write him off-he's taking his OV's quickly which usually means a decision won't be far behind and he did pick UK as a program to visit after being in "others considered" a few days ago.

UConn had a massive head start on McNeely (he was literally the only HS guy they were recruiting after signing Nowell/Abraham in Fall) and Brea they have relationship with since HS-so they aren't just talking to him because they liked what he did at Dayton.

All I'm asking for is as much info and being prepared as possible and the staff is doing a great job right now. They just hired 2 great recruiters to go with a guy we all are excited is coming with Pope from BYU in Fueger. Once you have staff in place, you have more voices/connections who can contact different people and sell the program in a unified vision.

Better to hear the truth, be prepared for a scenario than to hope/wish and then get suckered in by numerous inaccurate media guys right now.

I'm biased by I am a huge fan of Collin Chandler and reading what Pope said--I get that 100%. Amari Williams is fantastic get by the program. Keeping Perry--love it. If they add other BYU kid soon who was happy in his role and contributed--nice core to start. Now.....you need to stack up more and they are setting up OV's and working on it-but several names are very good players and would make this a damn good team.

The part we have to channel our thinking away from Cal era is "team building". Not stacking roster with best players......stacking roster with best FIT of players. Kentucky never settles for a roster of bad players. No school at their level does-but it's about FIT. So you have a Big....some talented shooting around him--now you need a PG, more firepower and some size/skill upfront. Obosor is visiting....great player. They are in deep for the WF kid Carr-who is talented. Still hearing great things about Jaxson Robinson who was Big XII 6th man of the YR. There will be more announcements in the next week to add/finalize the pool of Portal guys-and Grad Transfers.

Within some roster movement/additions for programs-some others will ask out of their situation and you add a few more options.

Think the staff UK has--make sure you have 7/8 guys set going into that NBA Combine time-where you can fly to watch/evaluate/recruit the last big fish in the Portal who will return to CBB. This staff has deep connections and can get things done and who better to have great access to the NBA/G-League then Jason Hart?
 
This is becoming a joke.All the NIL and playing time and Pope can't get one top portal player?
You have to realize that UK is being negatively recruited against. Recruits are likely hearing "you better ask for all the money you can from UK because their coach doesn't care about the NBA" or something like that. Also, Pope is very clear about what he's looking for. He's interviewing lots of recruits (as are the recruiters), but there is a proverbial checklist they're going off of. He's not Calipari Mr Recruit Everyone with a 5 Beside Their Name.

That's fine but no excuse if Pope doesn't get a good roster.

You're projecting. You're not the head coach, he is. What he thinks is a "good roster" that aligns with his goals, clearly doesn't align with what you think a good roster is. This is going to take time. The more people try and hold his feet to the fire on his first year of a COMPLETE REBUILD and having to undo the type of damage Calipari did to UK, the more it will appear that people are just looking for excuses to get rid of him because they have their own favorite head coach.

That doesn't even make sense.He was talking big and needs to back it up which applies to any coach.He has to win.
