Pope will have zoom meeting with Riley

I would be satisfied with either yates or this guy

If we land yates, we should be better than this season

Yates is built for sec. 220 pounds guard that can shoot? It is ridiculous. If he makes some progress in his year 2, he will be nba player.

If we land riley, I expect riley to be solid starter in year 3, but he is likely to not be that powerful in year 2
Room for both
 
On thing I’ve noticed is Pope is prioritizing size on the perimeter. Also guys with multiple years that can grow in the scheme
yeah another prime example right here. This is shaping up for not just next year, but two years with these guys. I am starting to actually see some of the method to the madness. Coach Pope is really smart.

way smarter than me. That's why I knew once the season was over and he could devote everything to this, and strike while the iron is hot, he would put together an amazing team.

Multiple years and a completely fleshed out roster for every position....

Another thing I am just gonna say is that CCC said after the disastrous 2013 season (post title year) he would have a complete roster and "that wouldn't happen again" (issues with how he constructed the roster)

well.....

Sometimes I just don't understand it all. But I damn sure know that wasn't the only year CCC had roster construction "issues" shall we say ?

but that's just basketball bennie talk, so no big deal, right ?

Love the way Pope is doing business here, and thankful CCC is long gone.
 
Having several players like this would allow pope to play a more pressing, trapping defense, which should mean some easy points like the pitino era

Are you slow? Ortega, Chandler, garrisson and others are returning
Remember per some of these fans, those guys you list could not play on any other team in NCAA division 1. They are the worst players in the history of UK. Troy McKinley looks like Lebron, richard Master Blaster Madison would kill these guys now. The cannot do anything correct. UK sucks, Pope Sucks, any player we get sucks. Might as well call it KENSUCKY.

Kinda OT but as an IT guy I'm wondering. Do you reckon Pope has the Zoom Enterprise sub from the university or the free one?
Thought Zoom had a full package for Education? I also do IT but mainly infrastructure (Routers, switches, PBX, Camera, Door access systems). Have a crew that installs and we do the programming and such.
 
Cmon man. Got to build a program from the ground up. You want us to take only seniors? Get real. Take next year off.

Clayton and his crew and Broome and his guys were multi year guys.

What was there … only 1 5 star out there tonight?

I can’t tell if some folks are just glass is bone dry, everything is negative because that’s who they are…..or if it’s just to counter what they see as irrational positivity on the part of other posters……
 
But he is a carbon copy in profile of Williams and we don’t need any more role players. We need a starting SG/SF that has scoring pop and elite shooting.

We need to build a team for future. We all want ro win now but Pope is bringing in multi year guys. You cannot live in 1 year portal. Not sustainable.
