On his call in show with Tom Leach about 2 weeks ago, look it up.Pope said he has two “Superstar Transfers” lined up? I don’t believe he said that.

I’m certainly not a Cal lover but if those others coaches were missing two starters they would struggle a little but their backups are infinitely better than ours. That’s a product of being there for years and the ability to build depth. They would be playing three freshman that aren’t no where near ready. I’m all for Pope but I’m anxious to see if he can get the players that can compete with Athletes. Brea looked like an invisible man on defense last night.yeah thats why they only beat us by 5 earlier on. If you take 2 of his starters and his main back up pg hed be lucky to win 8 games. I notice not you but tons of Cal lovers come over here after every loss and talk crap about coach and players. Those fans should follow Calipari, stay away from Kentucky. If Oates, Pearl or Cal had 2 starters out and Cal has the results wouldn't be pretty. This year is the last year with the 5th year guys Pearl and Oates got lucky with but I bet you they choke like usual in the tournament.
So much respect for UK that he let his trash players stand on the sideline at Rupp pretending to use their belt to whip UK and the UK fans! Classless coach equals a classless program.Pearl does nothing but give respect to Kentucky. He has talked glowingly about the UK his entire time at Auburn. All of it is well deserved. I know most of this board is not a fan of Pearl, but he is not close to Oats. Nate is pissed they did not score 100 last night and believe he tried. Hell of the coach, but is all about Nate.
“In terms of the roster in the future, we have some really, really important pieces that we’re excited to have back next year, and kind of have a foundation of guys that know what we do, how we do it, what we do in the locker room, what we do at shootaround, what our daily cadence is like,” Pope said Monday night. “We have three incredibly talented rookies coming in so far — and we’ll see how that high school recruiting finishes up. Then we’ll be really, really aggressive in the portal at a couple of positions to bring in a couple superstars.

Police that also wanted him to play, LOL.“Looked the other way” AKA played a player that was cleared by police within a day of the incident and was never charged.
Shooting 3’s is what they do. I doubt very seriously it was intended to be a slap in the face.Pretty douche move to be still jacking 3s up almost 30 as well, hope Pope remembers this and did seem to be a real quick handshake I thought after the game. Oats loves to run his mouth for someone that’s been to 1 FF, seems a bit cocky without the hardware to back it.
I don't think there has ever been a player not named Larry Bird that could take a blow to the face like that and come back on the court and play their A game. There's a great chance he had a mild concussion.Oates wouldn’t have been saying that if Butler, Robinson, and Kriisa would have been 100%.
He knew we were outmanned and had just played a game that went passed midnight the night before. Plus, Carr was on the bike trying to get his back loose. Oweh was missing half his face. We were relying on three Freshmen for major minutes.
Yeah, we couldn’t play with them. I doubt we could have handled anyone last night.
The cards were stacked against us.
You really believe Coach Pope doesn't have a "couple of superstars" ALREADY lined up to come here next year???? He wouldn't have said that on HIS coaches show if he wasn't SURE about that. IMHOThank you for posting that, but to address catben there's nothing in that which states that Pope has superstar transfers lined up. It simply says that he'll hit the portal to bring in some superstars. Pope will be fine,vi eagerly await the "Boom!!!" tweets.
In 1986, Kentucky beat LSU twice in the season and in the conference tournament, but lost to them in the regional finals. Not saying it will happen, but Oats should be weary of playing Kentucky a fourth time.he should be saying nothing. the mismatch in quickness was apparent with uk months ago. take the win, giggle in private about 3-0, and focus on florida. they just spanked your ass in tuscaloosa only days ago.
We also beat Bama 4 times that season.In 1986, Kentucky beat LSU twice in the season and in the conference tournament, but lost to them in the regional finals. Not saying it will happen, but Oats should be weary of playing Kentucky a fourth time.
You must have been young then.😁. Been around for more than one up to that point.We also beat Bama 4 times that season.
That LSU loss was one of the most crushing ones in my lifetime.
I was watching that game in the hospital with undiagnosed pernicious anemia. The anemia and that game almost killed me.We also beat Bama 4 times that season.
That LSU loss was one of the most crushing ones in my lifetime.
Oh, it started in 1975 for me against UCLA, that one was REALLY HARD!!!You must have been young then.😁. Been around for more than one up to that point.
Our roster was pretty good this year if we had everyone IMOOats and the haters better enjoy it now. We’ll be back…..our roster next year will be a hell of a lot better
When you’re up almost 30 with 2 mins to go, pretty disrespectful to me. Always taught my teams to win with class and lose with that same class.Shooting 3’s is what they do. I doubt very seriously it was intended to be a slap in the face.
I think it’s going to be even better next seasonOur roster was pretty good this year if we had everyone IMO
I certainly like your optimism and hope you're correct. However I'm looking at our projected roster currently an not seeing it at all. And that's if Oweh, Garrison an Chandler stay. Right now I would say next year's has as good of chsnce at being worse as better.We’ll be back…..our roster next year will be a hell of a lot better
We don’t have a projected roster for next season to look at. Portal season isn’t even underway yetI certainly like your optimism and hope you're correct.

We got 7 or 8 likely players on roster . I'm judging from that. I know the portal isn't open yet an that changes things potentially but there no gsurdntee we get the prime pickings either.We don’t have a projected roster for next season to look at. Portal season isn’t even underway yet
If you’re going to judge our roster based on what we have right now with like 6 expiring super seniors and not consider the portal, I don’t know what to tell youWe got 7 or 8 likely players on roster . I'm judging from that. I know the portal isn't open yet a that changes things potentially but there no gsurdntee we get the prime pickings either.

Not unless we get someone healthy.In 1986, Kentucky beat LSU twice in the season and in the conference tournament, but lost to them in the regional finals. Not saying it will happen, but Oats should be weary of playing Kentucky a fourth time.
Why do you say Oates most likely won’t be there next year? I’d certainly be happy but I’ve heard nothing about itI can’t really fault Alabama for their cockiness, they’re not accustomed to winning and are dumbasses anyway, so that’s what you get.
For all you Alabama Hayseeds, Nate Oats will most likely not be there next season and DeBoer will be so you’re going to suck at everything.
If I win the lottery I'm telling Pope to go get his players and I've got the tab.If I win the lotto I’m buying billboard space in Lexington and putting this up on it. Should have a banner in the craft center with that quote for all players to pass by it daily
Pretty good isn’t good enough for KY and I’m not putting down our guys love them and the team. Just facts most of these guys on a good to great team would be bench players.Our roster was pretty good this year if we had everyone IMO
Pretty much my list also. It's not an actual game loss, but the loss of not being able to play the tournaments in 2020 would be on my list. We were playing good!Oh, it started in 1975 for me against UCLA, that one was REALLY HARD!!!
Then move up to these going with the one in the above post:

Idgaf who said what, I can have my opinion as you yours.
Oates will more than likely be right back at Bama next year for the same reason he didn’t leave this season!I can’t really fault Alabama for their cockiness, they’re not accustomed to winning and are dumbasses anyway, so that’s what you get.
For all you Alabama Hayseeds, Nate Oats will most likely not be there next season and DeBoer will be so you’re going to suck at everything.
