Hell yeah how TF did I miss this? Wooooooo freaking hoo baby. LFG now all the hand wringing can stop. Pope didn’t miss on his target! Had him locked up for a minute.

It’s all good because it worked out fantastic. We were right to just let it play out.
I was waiting for this, now you don’t have to worry and add another name to the miss board! Got Em!!! Charge!!!"Well, we didn't get dressed up for nothing."
Always nice having a fringe NBA talent who has excelled in the system before. Huge for early season as all these new guys learn to play together and their role. He is a guy we can run stuff for right away.
He may have, I actually heard that rumor but I can’t remember from where. It was out there that they already had an agreement in place if he withdrew and that is how it played out. That’s why I wasn’t too worried last night because I hoped that was true, he had made many comments about Pope that made me think it’s the only coach he would play for in college again.

Ok… another commit outside this? I counted 2 Booms. This is a subliminal message? Wooga up next?
Feels very much like a 1998 squad with a ton of veterans who have had postseason success, and a deeper 2003 style team.
I think the recruit gets to pick the boom going. So I could be just what Robinson chose.
Not to be a downer or anything but I still hope we land Wooga or Riley. Be as loaded as possible.
Pretty sure that if we started 2 months ago and someone said this could be the roster take it or leave it when Pope started with no assistants and 0 players everyone would have been like hell yeah!!
I can’t wait to see how they even practice, and what happens when one is mad they didn’t get as much money or didn’t get paid?
Joe Adams is dying to be known as an insider and dude guessed one thing right. Like the most obvious commit if he came back to school and he acts like Nodtradumbass.
It's like that team where Anthony Davis took the 6th most shots.
Yeah I was just kidding around but it would be nice if it was a little bone to BBN about what’s upcoming to finish off the roster! He’s worth a double boom though on his own.
Man if we go get Poplar. We have a chance to be Top 5 good.
All I ever asked for was a proven scorer type like Robinson,Lanier or Poplar. I really felt like we need one for a chance to be good and I'm thrilled Pope did it.
You didn’t answer the question tho…
Patience is a virtue. Me and @Dontworryboutit23 tried to beat that into ppl’s brain but 🤷🏻♂️
A price to pay for salvation. The 3 weeks in here between getting Robinson and not were anarchy in here
Now maybe everyone can calm down on Pope lol. Let the guy cook, look at the roster he just assembled in a few damn months. I don’t know many coaches who could come in after Calipari and do that. Exactly what everyone said they want, upperclassman, ELITE shooters, excellent system and coaching, it’s what we SAID we wanted.
I have to say I’m usually right unless im
Wrong.
Well there were a few more (hand raised) but I can understand people wanting dominance. What I can’t understand is not clearly seeing how well Pope has done in such a short amount of time.
And a man with an ethical chapter within his life. We haven’t been privy to that in two decades.
Anybody that calls @Son_Of_Saul a fraud on here needs to run to the bathroom and take a quick look in the mirror…… Dude has brought numerous of great conversations to this board over the years and has been here more years than most of us….
Like I said in another thread this coaching change was supposed to bring us all together….. We still have separate sides and still keep going at each other like DAMN come on people. Let’s at least give Pope a chance to construct a roster of his own players and let him at least coach some games before we cast some judgement!

Thanks, @Bluegrassking . I actually think your critique is fair.
Some of these newer posters don't know me yet, and they can't seem to stomach sharper critique. I love Kentucky and I support Coach Pope, and I will give him a chance just like I did Coach Cal, Coach Gillispie, Coach Smith, and Coach Pitino before them.
I like what he's doing so far. I'd give his efforts this Spring an A- (up from a B/B+ before Robinson committed). For comparison, my grade for Calipari the last four years was an F.
I think we have the ingredients of a potentially great coach. Time will tell, of course, but I think things are going in a solid direction.
Thank you, sir. You're one of the best.
Didn’t Joe Adam’s say if he came back it would be awhile before he decided last night or something?
I second this. @Son_Of_Saul is one of my favorite posters on this site. Do I agree with everything he says? No..but I can disagree with him and it will still be a mutually respectful conversation.
Yes he can be somewhat pessimistic at times. But you have to read between the lines. He’s a true blue fan who just wants the best for his team.
Nothing wrong with that
That dude has said so much BS I don’t even pay attention to what he says lol. Sounds familiar so I wouldn’t put it past him.
Who is he anyway? Literally everything he has put out in last month is wrong.
Awww thank ya Foxy; backatcha my friendI second this, and you @Bkocats are one of my favorites too.
Some rando Kentucky fan who happened to get a couple hundred fools to follow what he tweets. He fancies himself as some sort of Trilly Donovan for Kentucky Basketball. A Pilgram, Tucker, or Matt Jones wannabe IMHO. I’ve heard he even does Twitter spaces, and all that kinda stuff to talk about his scoops/news too. I guess he has a lot of time and is hoping to take it until he makes it.
Will you drop that minus if he gets Riley with the 13th scholarship?
He mentioned on his premium IRC chat (well worth the money btw!) that sometimes he has to be wrong on purpose to protect his sources.
