Pope isn't willing to overpay for players and he is looking for players to fit his system. Kentucky fans aren't familiar with the word system because Cal didn't have one.That the big recruiting video of the celebration of Pope coming home scared kids off? Too much pressure?

Yes, how can they be so stupid. Bunch of maroons running things over there.That the big recruiting video of the celebration of Pope coming home scared kids off? Too much pressure?
You state that system fit isn't required, but then you provide a list of specifics that looks very much like components of a system. If your system includes shooting lots of 3s, you wouldn't want someone who shoots 28% from 3 land.The fit for the system thing is overdone. Great basketball players are great basketball players. I can assure you Pope is looking for great basketball players. Shooters, paint enforcers and athletes that do it all.
Just the ones who think Cal is a good coach.not all Kentucky fans started being Kentucky fans in 2010.
Loved the celebration and NO problem with it ...just saying.Yes, how can they be so stupid. Bunch of maroons running things over there.
Kentucky fans can come up with the craziest reasons for why things don't appear to be going as well as desired.Yes, how can they be so stupid. Bunch of maroons running things over there.
You do realize he didnt say only right. He's saying that so we know he's trying to weed out the guys who are just in it for a pit stop to the pros and wants to get players that while they're here, will dedicate themselves to the team and to winning.Pope is going to have to pay some big bucks to get some players.All of that talk about playing for the front of the jersey means zip to players today.
For this recruiting season, time isn't on Pope's side, so he doesn't have the luxury of using his preferred recruiting method. He has got to pull a team together before he only has leftovers to pick from.It just seems random. As soon as we see a guy hit the portal we contact him. We have contacted a lot of people. But if we are using a shotgun approach we aren't going to get the best people. These kids want to feel special and targeted. And they want the money. Most want to know fit but hard to see how they fit with only 3 players currently.
Highly doubtful, I’d say he has no track record of putting kids in the league, recruiting high level kids at all, and hasn’t won a tourney game. He has a lot of potential but those questions will stall recruiting until otherwise proven. Till then his staff, our brand, and NIL will have to put in work.That the big recruiting video of the celebration of Pope coming home scared kids off? Too much pressure?
Key word, Appear. We didnt even know Oweh was on the radar until on campus today. Seems like we dont enough to judge jack squat right now.Kentucky fans can come up with the craziest reasons for why things don't appear to be going as well as desired.
Most of these players probably never heard of Pope while he was at BYU, so he is faced with reaching out to a lot of players who are just meeting him for the first time. It isn't the best of situations but I have confidence in Mark Pope. He will get it done by doing it the right way.You do realize he didnt say only right. He's saying that so we know he's trying to weed out the guys who are just in it for a pit stop to the pros and wants to get players that while they're here, will dedicate themselves to the team and to winning.
That is true, probably a few players we don’t know that we have targeted or have plans with yet.Key word, Appear. We didnt even know Oweh was on the radar until on campus today. Seems like we dont enough to judge jack squat right now.
Kentucky definitely had a system under Cal. Lanky athletic guys who couldn't shoot was the system.Kentucky fans aren't familiar with the word system because Cal didn't have one.
We knew UK had reached out but just not about the visit.Key word, Appear. We didnt even know Oweh was on the radar until on campus today. Seems like we dont enough to judge jack squat right now.
CORRECT!!! This fanbase is hooked on instant gratification. They want Pope to correct what Cal destroyed over many years, overnight.Key word, Appear. We didnt even know Oweh was on the radar until on campus today. Seems like we dont enough to judge jack squat right now.
It is crazy to think that as fans we think we are so well connected that we should know everything that is going on with the team. The thought of coaching here has to a nightmare for most coaches.We knew UK had reached out but just not about the visit.
I'm sure it's tough making millions.It is crazy to think that as fans we think we are so well connected that we should know everything that is going on with the team. The thought of coaching here has to a nightmare for most coaches.
How old are you? Do you even have a job?I'm sure it's tough making millions.
Well I worked in the coal mines for 15 years and was almost killed twice but I'm sure it isn't as hard as being a college basketball coach.How old are you? Do you even have a job?
I am certain that you got a lot more sleep than most head coaches.Well I worked in the coal mines for 15 years and was almost killed twice but I'm sure it isn't as hard as being a college basketball coach.
Yeah almost being killed in cave ins and having fractured my back and spine really helped me sleep well.I am certain that you got a lot more sleep than most head coaches.
Oh, so you have to have a near death experience to have a tough job. How do you know that any given coach wasn't nearly killed driving into work half asleep because they only got two hours of sleep trying to make some ungrateful fan like you happy? If you thought you were being under compensated, you could have looked for another job. As with any coach, you chose that line of work so if coaches don't have a right to complain maybe you don't either.Yeah almost being killed in cave ins and having fractured my back and spine really helped me sleep well.
Yep. We can say we love X about Kentucky but to 98% of players the only color they care about is green.Pope is going to have to pay some big bucks to get some players.All of that talk about playing for the front of the jersey means zip to players today.
And smartest doesnt fit in this instant gratification internet world were its ok to lie using some bogus name. 99% of all these gurus are just click hunters. More click equals more money and the BBN is easily manipulated because we care. Im 75 and dont believe anything on the Net from any source. However many of the younger folks think what is said on internet sites are real.The game is Moneyball now. How well can you manage your NIL payroll. Pope is a very smart guy and I have a feeling he is being very methodical and analytical. You want to be the smartest, not the loudest.
If we had another top recruiting class coming in, they'd be just fine regardless of what the final result is in March.CORRECT!!! This fanbase is hooked on instant gratification. They want Pope to correct what Cal destroyed over many years, overnight.
