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."

This time last year who would have ever thought KY Basketball would (a) have a new head coach (b) our ex is at Arkansas (c) Mark Pope is our new Head Coach. I know one thing for sure I wear my KY Gear almost daily now and with a lot more PRIDE!!! It’s going to be a fun ride for years to come. GO CATS!!!
 
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.
