Not sure, but Alabama making the final-4 is the equivalent of them making the football playoffs. Us winning zero post-season games is the equivalent of making the toilet bowl, and losing. Definitely didn't help.

Let's be honest, our fan base would go nuts if we landed Johnson. Pope needs this.
There's tons of emotional parachutes being made right now if Johnson pulls the Alabama or UNC hat.
If Pope lands this kid, it shows he can hang with the big boys. It's not a "must-get", but it's damn close in terms of showing that Pope has arrived as a recruiter.
Going out and beating Oats, Calipari, and Davis for a kid would be a huge deal.

It might help the perception of Pope to people who want one and dones.
I hope we never get another one, unless it's a total surprise.
JJ appears to be a high volume shooter, but not a high percentage maker.

One and dones aren't bad. Solely depending on them is bad.
Surround Johnson with legitimate veteran players and he'll be fine.
I have been following UK since Cotton Nash. I think the answer would be this would be the first.
Which unfortunately is further then we’ve been in a long time
I'd love to be a 1 seed, and not lose to a 14 and 15 in the 1st round. Also, that 1 seed year, didn't they win the conference regular season and sec tournament?
not sure
i just know they underachieved as a number 1 overall seed
i am not a Oates fan
if fans hated how arrogant at times Cal was then they would really hate Oates and his attitude
Yesterday Aaron Torres put ky in the lead but slightly. If the decision is next week I like kentuckys chances
I’m still stunned with this. Family is UK athletic royalty. Seems that Jasper would be jumping at the chance to play for UK rather than UK begging him to play for the top all time program.
If it’s all about 1 & done and how much nil maybe let him go. Might not bring the team first chemistry that UK is instituting. It’s a honor to be a homegrown Ky guy and get to play at UK. I would have thought he would have been like Perry, Sheppard, Moreno and Noah and couldn’t wait to put on that UK uniform.
Like to see him at UK but if he’s not all in for #9 do the Damien Harris thing but you won’t ever be fully celebrated in Ky.
