I know it’s early but I don’t like the fact that we couldn’t keep 1 signee or player on our roster. Now JQ may go to UofL. That’s a kick in the 🥜. I’m ready for some commits asap.
It would be nice to get some good news soon.

I’m patiently waiting on this Brea news for tonite. Hope it's news worth a ****
Williams coming in for a visit this weekend. Pope better corner him and not let him go home without a commitment.😉
You people are gonna drive yourself crazy expecting to hear what you want to hear when you want to hear it.
Geico hasn't returned my call yet related to potential savings on my car insurance.
I definitely won’t “go crazy” I’d just like to have some positive program news soon. It’s not like we have all the time in the world to wait to build a roster. It’s April 18 and the portal closes May 1.
Tomorrow is Friday. That's all I got OP.
If you work weekends then my apologies and I truly have nothing.

I think we'll start landing guys next week. Probably three of them, in fact. Then we'll probably add 2 to 3 each week in the month of May.
Was just thinking this. Since the hire and press conference everything else has been tough to swallow. We need some positive news stat!
Yeah definitely hurts to see Reed go and the only staff hire is a coach who failed miserably at Georgia.
But hopefully next week is a snowball week.

Only things that were already expected have happened.
Reed to the draft = expected outcome.
JQ leaving after Cal left = expected outcome.

I certainly hope so, I just don’t want it to get to the point we have to take random bodies just to play. I don’t wanna have to get excited about some dude who won YMCA MVP 2 years ago and now plays for North WeSt Mississippi Technical School in D3 and averages 14 a game.
Well at this point every single LOI and roster player outside Perry and Burks are gone. I figured we may keep a couple at worst.
The "press conference" victory lappers are still living off that.
99% of the news outside of the press conference has been negative.
Color me skeptical Mark Pope will compete next year.
And AGAIN, many other schools/new coaches have contended in YEAR 1. There isn't an excuse to not do it.

There has been nothing to think Burks returns either.
Reminds me of Wolf of Wall Street
Bring us 2 martinis each. Then another 2 after exactly 7 minutes. Then every 5 minutes until one of us passes the eff out.
Except with recruits.
Bums me out too but it’s also a giant middle finger to Cal so it suck’s but at least he didn’t steal everything.
There is some twitter people who think Brea ends up at Duke ... take it for what it's worth, I have no idea if they are credible or not.
We need good news ASAP.

Calipari won't be butchering lineups for Kentucky anymore. That makes me ecstatic. That's great news.
That's the thing, don't let people tell you "it's early, relax"
It's not early for other schools, not early for UofL who is apparently about to get a pretty big name for a brand new coach.
No one expects to get our WHOLE 13 man roster settled in the first week.
But we have Chandler and Perry, that's it. Chandler might not have left if BYU got their coach in time, and Perry is nice, but he's a Kentucky kid who also kind of left the door open to leave if needed. We lost every other recruit, every other player left.. and we've landed one guy in a sea of 1,000+.
Idk if we're just holding out for the elite guys or what, but I'm not exactly liking what I'm seeing.. I really want to see 2 more signed by end of this weekend or I think we're running into a problem.
I figured some of them may have liked playing here at least. I know that’s a crazy thought.
Agree. I think we'll have a full roster and coaching staff by Memorial Day at the very latest.
I agree but we need a replacement that can get it done. I really hope Pope is the dude. I just want to see some good news.
We don't seem to have the luck with our guys returning like UNC, Duke, Kansas, etc do. I would assume the last regime didn't really instill any sort of school pride into the guys.
The big time transfers still probably haven't entered the portal even yet. Louisville has 4 guys since when and Arkansas has just Z so far now. Lots of people are still on the table....
There's still big time players yet to go into the portal, better to not have a team fully assembled until we see the full landscape of the portal.
Everyone should be very concerned at this point. Nothing good happening. This could be a Kenny Payne Louisville type of season.
Did those guys have pretty much every player leave the team upon accepting the position?
how many players are committed to louisville or arkansas now?? How many people have committed that has been in portal so far?
It's been less than a week. I feel sorry for some of you people.
That’s pretty obvious, hell I know Reed is in a place where he basically had to declare but we couldn’t even keep the one kid who seemed destined to play here 3-4 years.
