Coach Pope got more players in the nba this year than his predecessor

Congrats to Coach Pope and to Brea and Amari! Well done ! Proud of everyone!

Not bad for our Coach that put the team together in 2 weeks just using the portal and not having the declared goal to have players in the nba but only focusing on our program. Loving it!

And Jr could be also drafted ….

So thankful this is The University of Kentucky again and no longer The University of one particular dude.

No way! This is the most important night in Arkansas basketball history!

So …..the first time since Cal got to UK in 2009 he hasn’t had a first round pick. Weird, I wonder what happened because according to some he made UK.

I’m sure Arkansas fans are devastated that he flopped on the most important night of the basketball season.

Feel bad that Jr didn’t get drafted. The injury derailed his drafting chances. Hopefully a team will take a chance on him. Is he fully recovered?

Yep, awesome, will help his sales pitch to recruits.

What pisses me off is that Wagner, Knox, Richmond, and Fland would have all gone to the draft if Cal and them were at UK last season.

He finally got selfish and helped the program by being honest with those players instead of forcing them to the draft.

Kentucky now has 18 straight drafts with at least one draft pick.

That's the longest streak in the nation. The Kobe Brea/Amari Williams dividends will continue to pay off going forward.

I'm expecting three or four draft picks next year (Oweh, Mo-D, JQ, and maybe Kam Williams). JJ, Jelavic, Lowe and Garrison also have a legit shot. Chandler probably goes pro after his junior year. TONS of talent next year!

It's the first time since 07. He had one (Wagner's dad) in 06 as well. But no, he didn't make UK. He saved our brand with the generation at the time then let us fall to depths we shouldn't have seen again. Should've left after the 21 season.
