Quick story, my daughter is one year apart from ENG and they had a bunch of mutual friends in town. In February 2019, our family was invited to watch practice in the Craft Center, along with about 20 other people (old former players and their families) all sitting on the sideline.
Before practice started, the players were warming up, and then when Cal called them to order, Cal, to his credit, had his guys form a line and run over and greet each visitor with a handshake, which was cool.
While he was lining up, ENG stuck BOTH hands all the way down the front of his shorts and adjusted himself, then moments later, came over to shake hands with everyone (my daughter noticed, so we all declined).
Ugh. 🤮

I mean, it's starting to really sink in/hit me. Just like Pinnochio, we're going to be a real live basketball team next year!
And we're going to be fire-breathers...

How Mark Pope went the extra mile to land transfer Andrew Carr at Kentucky
By Kyle TuckerIn the lobby of the men’s basketball office inside the Joe Craft Center, Pope asked Carr to visualize flipping the number eight in a display about Kentucky’s national championships to a number nine. He described — from personal experience as captain of the Wildcats’ 1996 title team — what it’s like when they raise a new banner at Rupp Arena.
“Being in that moment, it really hits you about what you’re able to accomplish there and how special the place is,” Carr says. “Coach Pope does a great job of displaying the great tradition of Kentucky and how much it means to the fans and the state, and that we’re playing for that ninth banner. You can really tell how much an impact this place and the people around it made on him and how he just wants that for me — I can feel that — and he wants that for everybody who plays there.”
Great defense
Great speed
Can play all 3 outfield spots
Strong arm
I know his bat is suspect, but every winning team has a role player or two like Stu Fairchild on the roster.
I mean, can I personally donate NIL money just for this kid? I love everything about him. Now he's politely talking shit to Matt Norlander like Ms. Doubtfire or something.
Kerr, Butler, Oweh, Perry, Chandler, etc are all great guards. I want this little dervish handling the rock for UK next year.

Watching Kriisa (some of his international play)
God God. Opposing fans are going to absolutely HATE this guy with a passion. He's an elite trash talker.

Perfectly fine with Butler as our main PG. IMO a defensive pest disrupting the other teams flow is exactly what we’ll need to be a great team. I’d have given a lot to keep Wagner for this reason.
With Williams/Garrison protecting the rim and post and being competent against PnR I think we’ll have the defense where it’s needed in todays game.

A 23-year-old European asshole who shoots north of 40% will always have a spot on my team.

He's OUR prick, and I hope we bust OUR prick off in college basketball repeatedly next year.
It's long overdue.

Oh, in case nobody noticed, UK Football got a commit from the highests ranked RB in their history.
Let's be honest. Mark Pope is going to be a Ned Flanders-style grade-A magnum prick to the SEC and other powers that be. If he's Tubby-level good (which I think is a fair expectation and one we should all be happy if he achieves) and keeps up the good, clean Mensa fun --> we're going to be LOATHED.
And I love it.
And I love it.
And he spurred ut
Mark Pope's coaches show:
First caller, "When is Perry going to get in."
Pope goes to the blackboard, "Let us say that the function y = x^2 + 4 represents the effectiveness of a given player, and let x = minutes played. NOW, if we take the first derivative, and graph the slo.." (caller hangs up)

Bonuses: the national cbb media love Pope, and I'm sure the refs don't hate him like they hated Cal's stupid antics (justifiably so).
What a complete breath of fresh air.
Plus, he is forging a new identity of determination and overachievement, which we have not had in many years.
We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors.
As Dr. Klahn said...
Pump the brakes!!
Gotta figure out a way for generational wealth and growth for the draft.
Then bitch when Perry scores 57 but doesn’t start.
Who’s gonna be the screaming idiot on the sidelines?
Still lots of work to be done. Hopefully they get it figured out before the big tweak in January.

The masks they wear are not for Covid I don’t think, they’re to not be identified as in my brother, monickered the “Denim Dad” via the FBI, because he was walking around and participating in the Jan 6 crap with jeans a denim jacket and no face covering. Looking like any old dad out there.
He was so easy to pick out like a dumbass because everyone else was wearing masks.

Lord knows I just did. While maybe not completely accurate it is nice to have a coach with a new voice and willing to embrace the direction that the game has gone.
Half court basketball court? He wanted a practice facility and all he put in for Brad was half court? Hell my best friend growing up had a full court and his dad was a real used car salesman not some hall of fame coach pretending to be one.
On paper we have a team that can compete.
Tubby dropping 36 on Tipton and the media in pick up basketball was a game made for today's social media.
Grandpa UK legend coach. Dad UK legend on football field. Uncle a solid player for UK football. Is there anyway we don't get Jasper Johnson? No way Pope can afford to miss on this one. He was born blue.
Lexi Blue should get major NIL money for her name alone.
Well, it was meant to be humorous, not a Calculus I lecture, but I get your point Poindexter. LOL
But I'm perfectly willing to delve into higher mathematics if anybody feels froggy.

The fact this went relatively unnoticed while we unanimously and wholeheartedly celebrate signing Koby Brea and our very own *Estonian asshole to go get buckets tells us who we really are.
Basketball is our very soul here - Cal almost made us forget that.

The average age of our team, as it currently stands, will be 21.1 years old when the season starts next year. LOL
By the time the tournaments roll around, it will be north of 22. 😆 If I were an opposing coach, that would concern me. A LOT...

And 437 starts @Div 1 schools between them and more at the end of next season.
Plus, we have, you know, an actual coach.
I can tell you 100% according to someone that is friends with the Calipari’s and works in the UK athletic office it was about Brad.
That’s why he left. So I thank God for ENG.
The irony of ENG actually being the one who essentially saved our basketball program and returned it to the state/fans is immeasurable.
It would make a hell of an O Henry story...
Our sacrificial lamb wears turtlenecks.
If you're Henbook friends with Jonathan Davis, check out his post on Winston Bennett. It is a banger.

The irony of ENG is…. well, considering his choice to get that tattoo, all of it.
The real irony is that Mitch stood his ground on the one thing that got Cal out of town.
you ever sit back and think about the fact Khalil Whitney started more games at UK than Reed Sheppard?
Thank goodness that shit lifetime contract wasn’t an MOU this time. Tough to enforce the weasel terms of a $33M buyout written on a dirty Golden Corral paper napkin.

His bat isn't suspect...he sucks. And this isn't a "winning" team, not with the dolt Bell throwing out umpteen different batting orders, lineups, etc. They are a .500 team at best, same as last year. Quicker you learn that the less pain you will endure, or just keep pretending they are the '27 Yanks.
Btw...your HOF first ballot AS has 4 hits in his last 29 PA's, and one helluva bone headed base running mistake yesterday which probably cost them a run.
Reading your baseball takes is always good for a chuckle w/ the morning jo. I just dismiss it as you simply don't know any better given you're just another Max Mercy who never played the game.
