COACH Said, Phone never stops ringing

You mean there’s kids who want the last 3 scholarships? Cal told me those weren’t needed

Cal had no interest in building a roster because that would require work on his part.

Do you guys think these kids want to play for Kentucky, or just know that we have cash to spend?

There are a few that want to play for Kentucky but 90-95% want the money these days. SAD

Cal had no interest in building a roster because that would require work on his part.

His roster building consists of finding as many 5 star recruits as possible and hoping they somehow gel.

Pope will be getting calls from players with potential who want to be developed by a first class coaching staff in first class facilities.

I'm quite sure that's what Pope meant when he alluded to the fact that he was going to be very selective about who he recruited--about who would be a good fit for Kentucky.

As it was when Pitino was Coach--players who come to Kentucky need to have their work ethic in place when they arrive.

Pope plans on developing players. He's not going to be running a camp where blue chip Burger Boys lay around in the hot tub until NBA draft night rolls around.

Those players need to go to Arkansas.

Cal was just focused on getting as many 5 star guys as he could, and padding his NBA draft numbers. He didn't bother to go after guys that fit his system, or mesh well together.
