Time to rewatch the Pope presser and get giddy all over again. LFG

12 legitimate basketball players. That's a deep team. No elite players, but 10 very good players. Reminds me of that 1995 team.
Very good point.You aren't wrong. However, surprises are much less likely when you are dealing with veteran players who you've seen play 3-4 years in college versus players right out of high school.
Holy crap lets go!!!!!
What will the whiney bitches cry bout now? @track42 @Warf2012 @Butters' Dad @cornbreadnmilk
AE was awesome in 97 after DA went down too...well until he also broke down in the end.in 1998 it was 9.2 ppg. but Im talking about the play, if Edwards took the amount of shots Jaxson did last year, he'd also have averaged 14ppg or so.

Add Son of Saul to the list.How could you leave out bookerfan66 and JFCats22? Biggest chicken little, knee-jerk, negative whiners on the board.
Been saying this, he’s not that guy, a solid piece for sure, but he’s not like the end all be all difference maker some expect. Definitely helps that he knows the system and has had some success in it. He has never been a starter, on any collegiate team that I’m aware of. Maybe he starts this year though, plenty of guys improve, so time will tell.As I've said guys, he needs to improve against power conf teams and he will improve some this year, dont expect a Reeves, Dillingham, Sheppard type guy... Expect an Allen Edwards if you remember him back in the 90's. Still excited to have him. Now lets try and get Riley or Jasper Johnson to reclass.
I can't wait for the redundant nut huggin cal threads we get exposed to daily can't waitwe know the usual suspects are going to go that route. I dont think we need to be psychic to see it coming lol
Minutes no longer given based on promises and hostage negotiations.If I had to take an uneducated guess, I would guess that Pope will play a lot of different lineups and combinations near the beginning of the season and use analytics to determine what is the most effective to drill down on.
His posts in the Robinson deadline thread were honestly embarrassing"If we miss on Robinson, we failed to land one top 20 portal transfer.
That's disappointing. I don't have a very high expectation for next year, with or without Robinson, but you have to admit that there's not much buzz with this collection of players. Hopefully they come together like that 2004 team did.
I see next season as a stop gap season. It is what it is." - SON of Saul

This dude is ridiculous. Just a regular Joe.
someone must be holding a gun to your headWow. Great news!!
Huge get for the Cats!!! Welcome to the BBN young man!!!!
Very true.I keep thinking about that 1998 team, where nobody scored more than 13 a game, but a bunch of guys could make shots, and they kept coming at you no matter what.
Username should be Son of Cal.You're about as greasy as our last coach

It’s like when your a kid and your parents force you to apologize to your sibling even though you didn’t mean itsomeone must be holding a gun to your head
100% 😭😭It’s like when your a kid and your parents force you to apologize to your sibling even though you didn’t mean it
POW!I say pass on the kid. If he's that reluctant to come back to school, he'll be a problem at UK.
Same. Familiar with the system and played against legit comp instead of the ASUNI like this better than Lanier.
Looks like reading comprehension isn't a strong suit of yours. Based on people here suggesting that he was strongly not wanting to come back to school, my suggestion of passing on him was correct. So if those rumors were true, then Pope most assuredly had that conversation with him as Mark is really trying to change the culture to something different than the one we had before where kids were coming here with one foot out the door.POW!
