-He built a roster in less than a month
-Didn't have the NIL together
-Every Cal player left, no one was here..
-Did not have his staff together
-The portal was already in full swing and he was behind
-Playing against the toughest schedule in UK history
-Multiple injuries to key players
He built a team that was the #11 team this year.....
"UHHHH DURRR CAN POPE BUILD A TEAM GOOD ENUFFF?
This will likely be his least talented roster that was thrown together....he built the 11th best team. If fully healthy....we're pushing for a #1 or #2 seed.
So next year....#3 HS class coming in....players and staff returning....more NIL.....I'm going to say that he's proven he can build a top 10 team already. What a great job for Coach Pope....a coach I was angry we hired.
