Pope John Wall

Wall has always been a class act and always a Wildcat!
I actually haven't been this excited about UK basketball since we signed John Wall. Couldn't wait to see him play!
Wall would be a great guy to add to the staff someday. He's fiercely loyal to the program, and he could be a bridge to Cal's guys.
I think it's going to be vital to make some type of overture to the Calipari player community. Cal's NBA guys are a huge selling point, and if you can get them support Pope it's only going to help in the long term, especially as Maxey, Booker, SGA, Murray, etc. continue to dominate.

You think so?
It looked to me like Pope was the epitome of calm once he noticed Wall walk up to the other guy on Pope's direct left. Instead of making it about himself, Pope waited for Wall to approach him and acknowledge him, very calmly I might add.
That's actually a depiction of supreme confidence and interpersonal skill. Most people would have immediately gotten up to approach Wall, but Pope waited for Wall to come up first, probably as a sign of respect to the initial conversation Wall was wrapping up.
Pope seems like an incredibly intelligent man who understands propriety and human interactions.
Yup. That interaction could be used as a tutorial on how one should conduct themselves as a confident man.
UK needs to get Wall to Rupp for a game next season. He’s the OG of the Cal era and can help bridge the gap into the Pope era. You absolutely want guys like Wall to have an association with UK.
Look at Pope’s leg. That isn’t supreme confidence
I donate $50 to John’s charity foundation every year!
John Wall was like Mashburn. Both were significant turning points to new eras.
He will always be significant.
I know it's 2024, but it's awful bold of you to assume that John Wall would want to wed all of them.
I think he had to get some blood moving down there. His yoga Capri pants cutting off all the circulation below the calves.
I don't think that's a big deal at all. If they want to be associated with the college they attended briefly, then they will be. I don't think UK needs to fall all over itself to make an "overture" to them whatever that is.
That is way too much thought about a man. You have issues...
If we're going to continue to land elite high school players, even one or two each year, using our 10 current NBA All-Stars can't hurt. You can continue to downplay that all you want to, but utilizing every resource we have is wise.
Pope will see this and use it.
There are more beneficial things to do with his time than that.
Absolutely, but in the long run, using our NBA guys to help the program won't hurt.
You are also probably not 18 years old. These kids watch the NBA all the time. If SGA is looking like he loved his time at Kentucky then it can't hurt..
I agree it can't hurt, but there's no need to spend time and effort on it. It means less and less these days. Those recruits care about $$$.
I think he was getting his number there or giving his number there to other guy with Wall.
Wall my all time favorite CAL- KY player. His intro into BBM was the start of KY’s return to greatness.

Well it seems like you might have thought your capri pants was a turtleneck and has cut the circulation off to your brain. Trying to make something out of nothing. lol
What are we supposed to TrustinCal for? First round SEC tournament games? First round NCAA tournament games??

Looks as if Pope is giving his number to Wall. Wall apparently doesn’t have his phone and has Pope give the number to his guy. LOL!!
Did you read what you wrote about Pope? That’s something. Not that here is anything wrong with that.
Wall needs a jersey in the rafters with AD. Legends, Wall made UK cool again, I’ve still never been more hyped for a single recruit.
