Jaxson commits

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.
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.
 
"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

Opinions change a lot in 3 hours...
His posts in the Robinson deadline thread were honestly embarrassing

Williams - Garrison
Carr - Almonor
Robinson - Oweh - Noah
Chandler - Brea - Perry
Butler - KK - Perry

12 legitimate basketball players. That's a deep team. No elite players, but 10 very good players. Reminds me of that 1995 team.
Who says that several won't be elite??
 
Good get for Pope !

Now can we stop all the nonsense about sacrificing a year?

I sure as hell bet Mark Pope isn’t of that mindset. If he is, he doesn’t need to be coaching here.
 
Really glad to get him because he has offensive and defensive potential that probably only Oweh offers on the current line-up.

Also happy for Pope. This helps keep some of “Negative Nancy’s” away. My God some look for any sliver of negativity to tear people apart. He hasn’t even coached a game for heavens sake and it felt like people were lining up with pitch forks this morning. Crazy!!
 
Oh and if your post reacting this had anything to do with Arkansas or cal then you’re messed up in the head and have serious issues. Probably should be focusing on fixing yourself instead of spending all day every day on rafters.
 
Very happy that UK landed the 2 from BYU I was hoping Pope would bring with him. Robinson and Chandler. They were the 2 atop my list in that move and he landed both. Big time gets and putting together a very impressive shooting roster. The court will be open and should be fun to watch. Looking forward to it and in the situation Pope was in taking over roster wise--did a very impressive job.
 
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.
