I’ll say it again

We are so blessed to have Coach Mark Pope and this coaching staff.

As intelligent as they come and no one will outwork him.

This past season was excellent.

It’s just going to keep getting better.

We are set up to wear people out with depth along with a staff that studies the analytics and will make necessary adjustments. I imagine our practices will be wars. Competition will be fierce. Players will earn their time. Imagine that.

Great to be a Kentucky Wildcat fan.

But, I thought we were in real trouble when the roster wasn't complete in the first week of the portal opening ‽‽‽‽ People said we were doomed!!!

Is it too much to ask that people remember this in the coming years. Patience, people. Pope will handle it.

Heck those same posters are now saying stuff like we paid too much for DA. He is just a backup player. lol You watch we will have negative posts all spring, summer, fall before the season starts about, well we would be good if, we should have gotten x, Pope has too many players, Pope is now spending money like a Meth Head looking for his next high. It will never stop.

I’ll never understand the people that worry what we pay somebody. If anything it’s why didn’t we pay. It’s not my money.

We said the same thing about the last coach. Each one of his seasons got better and better too. This is a hard job and the real test is how we feel after 6-7 years when the honeymoon is over and we’ve had a trying season or two. Those days will come.

With that said, I was very happy with last season based on when he came in and the amount of time he had to put together a roster. I’m hoping that we start hanging some banners now that he has his sea legs under him abd has had time and resources to create “his” team.

Pope is a tireless worker. Need someone with that kind of energy in today's game.

Most have an agenda. They didn't want the man hired. If he wins one they will demand a second.ANYTHING to keep from admitting they know nothing about big time basketball.

You nailed it. I usually don't hit ignore often but I did quite a lot during the busy off-season, a lot of nonsensical posters on here or posers.

I watched a video on Sleepers last night saying that we had the highest payroll and that they couldn’t believe it! He said DA and MD were the 8th best players at Bama and Florida. Like what? Maybe MD was because they were so deep but it doesn’t mean he’s not worth a lot and he produces and is a winner. That’s valuable when your team is stacked. But DA was gonna be a starter this year and he acts like he’s a role player.

Yes. I said last night that he’s going to bully us back to the top. It’s obvious that he has the mindset to “flood the zone” and leave no doubt. The known UK haters and internet trolls need to find a new hobby or curl up in the fetal position. Their choice.
