Must really suck to suck.
Missing Out On Jasper and Moreno
- Thread starter W1LDCAT22
- Start date
Agreed, people are over looking the fact that if we land some of these high profile guys early and do well that train will keep rolling. Some don’t want them, but we will have freshman every year and it’s better to sign the best ones possible. Obviously we want the ones who fit our system but high level freshman mixed with great college players and upperclassman is a recipe for success now.
Another thing is that Cliff Hawkins was a PG who couldn’t shoot and he was a damn fine PG. Obviously that is more important than ever but it’s possible to be a great player and not have the best outside shot. I like having lefty Guards and they are harder to guard because so many people are right handed it throws a different look driving to the goal. He’s has serious game.
Look at Dilly, he shot about 30% in AAU. These kids take frankly terrible shots in many AAU games, and particularly hard ones trying to show out. Getting them better instruction, taking better shots, and in a legit system will improve their numbers over time. Plus the amount of practice they will be doing every single day.

I think Pope can recruit at a level similar to Mark Few and that will be plenty.
Calm down honey. There's a wealth of knowledge on this site and a lot of times people just know. 🤡
You're telling me....Do you know how many 40-0 tattoos I've needed to get removed?
I would have never done that but 40-0 felt like Destiny. Unfortunately we had the best coach at screwing up games he should win ever.
One last chance to celebrate the genius of Butters' Dad...Who seems to have melted in the summer heat. I can't say he'll be missed.
This thread aged like a gallon of milk left in a trunk for 10 hours on a 100 degree day.
Anyone up for some cottage cheese….
I know this is a message board and a place for discussion ... but this shows "rumblings" and "internet gossip" is just that.
I told you all, the rumblings was the IBS from KENTUCKY not falling on their face after the Moon PA moron left Fayette County for Fayetteville. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!
Well this post didn’t age well
But ones like it rarely do
So who else is excited about the path UK basketball is on?

I love my team!
As you know, there were strong rumblings that we would miss out on both.
I suppose the pearl clutching can end now.
I think Captain Pope understands the assignment.
GBB!

Huge pickups. Congratulations to Pope and the staff. Just need that first 5 star national recruit now.
Most of us are for sure! Then there are some that say I told you so when we miss on a guy and then they are the biggest UK fan ever when we land one. They play it both ways so as always to have a comfy blanket, lol.
Matt was saying, when he came back from Europe, that it wasn't looking good for UK with Johnson or Moreno and if they missed on both it would be devastating to Pope's recruiting efforts to miss out on 2 top 25 guys from KY. I guess he must have been reading this post to get his information. 🤣
Funny thing is instead of eating his crow he doubled down yesterday and said that Pope should get both since they were in his back door but he needs to go out now and do it with a 5 star who isn't from KY to prove he can recruit nationally. Maybe he was just salty because Pope had stood them up on their visit to the UK coaches offices on Wednesday to go recruiting.

Always gotta add another parameter to try and be right about or to latch onto in case he fails later on.
Aaaah such is human nature though
I’ll be honest..,I’m not as into recruiting as many are; at least not anymore. This, however, makes me happy. But you know what? I’d have still been happy if these guys didn’t commit
It’s just fun watching the conversations
At this point I just want who Mark Pope wants.
I suspect he’ll resurface as soon as UK loses or when Arkansas has a nice win .
I’m happy no matter what happens as far as recruiting hits or misses since we got the coach I wanted. All the best!

I heard when I was very young -- I am almost 68 now -- that most of what we all worry about never happens in the way that makes us worry. Life has taught me that that is very true.
Securing these two commitments is a fabulous start to Coach Pope's tenure, not to mention putting together a superb roster for this season. I think we can all say unequivocally that we can trust him to make the right decisions for our program. That critical test -- his judgment and decision making -- he already passed. All signs point to this very intelligent person being very successful here, in my view, potentially another version of Coach K. It starts this year...success will be immediate.
You're really reaching there to try and start something, which I won't lift a finger to bite on. But thanks for showing that I really don't care either way if we do or don't get a recruit. We got our coach, so nobody is gonna get me mad. Peace my friend!
