Pope at Ament’s senior night….
- Thread starter J-Ryan
- Start date
I think we need the guy because we still need at least 1 or 2 top 10 guys a year to mix with returnees, and portal players!
I'm being jaded. You think that guy is going to get in there and battle? I don't. And freshman typically do not bulk up after graduating high school. They're busy having the time of their lives not being in high school anymore and enjoying their new fame in playing basketball at the collegiate level. It will take a LONG time for me to get over the Crap Cal Era.

He is not an Anthony Davis, Zion or Flagg. Plenty of players that will be in the portal who will have just as much impact and not cost as much.
This is likely true but you don't want to completely ignore freshman. If you're not pulling any big time recruits when an AD/Zion type guy comes around you're very unlikely to pull them.
Yeah but freshman can also be skinny and still dominate college basketball. I think aments floor is still a good college player
Dook has like 3 top forwards. Louisville is well, Louisville, as long as we match the bag how could he not wanna be here and be the guy???
We don’t want a fantastic talented 6’7” shooter PF for some reason Because a theoretical transfer who probably can’t dunk might theoretically come! Stay away Pope!
Pope isn't Cal. I don't think we can just assume that freshmen are going to come in here and use UK as an pro audition while Pope is coach.
And it looks like the freshmen we have now are developing and learning. You can see how they've improved as the season has moved on. I'm pretty excited to see what Pope can do with five star freshmen, something he's never had.

Need to change that mindset with Pope at the helm. Cal is gone. I wish we'd stop talking about him. I see two Kentucky boys who he wouldn't give two craps about and weren't highly rated giving it everything they have. That has to mean something. It's not only rubbing off on this team, but it will future teams as well. That's not only the Pope Effect, it's what it means to put that jersey on. Pope is undoing all the stuff we as a fanbase have had to endure from the previous regime. It's high time the fans followed suit.
