Cody Fueger "A ref grabbed me before our last home game and he's like, every kid is going to want to play in this style, this system."

That's quite the change.

From having the referee fraternity cost Calipari tournament games out of spite to now having them compliment our coaching staff on the beauty of our system.

At this time of Thanksgiving, I am so thankful that Calipari is gone.
 
I hope they find the kids worthy of playing in this system. By that I mean kids who are talented/athletic players who are passionate about winning over all else. Otherwise, the freedom to shoot at will could be get abused.

These current players are on their last run. Winning is a way bigger deal to them than most one and done’s passing through on their way to the NBA. So, we have to get the top 25 kids who value winning and tradition. It will not be an easy task. We have the guy to do it though.

It's pretty evident that Pope prioritizes exactly this over the one and done players. He's made that clear since day one.
 
Mark Pope and his style of play is a breath of fresh air that this program and its fans so desperately needed. I and so many others, felt so suffocated by the previous regime. It's great that our players feel that the name on the front of the jersey is just as important, or maybe even more, than the name on the back.

I actually think it was divine intervention that Hurley and Drew turned us down.
Pope was born to coach at Ky.
