“So far” ….Hinting at Ament committing ?? Or is there a sleeper recruit?
I would think he's hoping for Ament, and then maybe there are some lesser ranked guys he's contacted. My hope is some foreign recruit is the other.
Might be reading too much into it. Pope is still in on Ament and of course he isn’t going to just concede a loss on him as of yet. “So far” is appropriate even if it’s Ament or bust at this point
Chandler, Noah, Perry, Garrison, and Oweh? We would need at least 3 other starters if this is the returners. Probably 4.
lol. This time of year makes me crazy. All the speculation. It's fun and frustrating! Kinda like being married!
So far is a pretty safe statement. Wouldn't read all that much into it.
Yep. “A couple” from the portal isn’t enough.
Per Bill Meck on channel 18 news it's Ivan Renko.
Pope ended that answer with a bang huh gonna have rafters speculating about the “superstars”
The best guess is that Pope already has some progress or even "oral commitment" from some really good players which are not officially in the portal
Well I do miss the Boom!!! posts. It was a lot of fun not knowing what was coming, and then reading all about these players from other programs.
Or it's hyperbole. We got a lot of that last summer as well.
pope did not say superstar in last year
So I assume his potential targets are better than this season's transfers from pope's eyes
Really hoping the core of Oweh, Noah, and Garrison return. Really want those three back! But wouldn't be upset if Chandler stays either.
Krissa is returning next year. Ch. 27 announced it tonight.
Krisa is transferring most likely
I love Pope, but I don't know if I can trust his "Pope-ese" yet. The man hinted at Shepperd returning and we saw how that worked out.
When did he hint at Sheppard returning?
He seemed always to know Sheppard would leave if my memory serves me well
Plays for UAB. He will get the juco year thing when it gets passed
That would be great.....
Would like to see UK back to kicking butt and taking names, and expecting to win every game👍
Yeah agbim is legit. Can score at all 3 levels and more importantly can create his own shot
If the guy from trillys discord is correct and you make some assumptions I think agbim might be own
He is already on espn mock draft, so it is likely he will be in nba next season
What concerns me next year is once again, defense. We're losing our top defenders in Amari and Lamont. Noah, Perry, Chandler return along with Oweh and Garrison plus the 3 freshmen. Outside of any portal gets, what we have returning is really defensively challenged, worse than this year. If we have 13 schollys to give, and snag Ament, that leaves 4 portal spots. Who ever we bring for those spots would likely need to be starters and hopefully slightly above average defenders. I'm not counting on any of the freshmen to have much of an impact defensively.
Oh really??? That would be fuc*in excellent news
I’m assuming you meant ours instead of own?
If we have better athleticism in next season, our defense will definitely be better
He dropped that line in his opening press conference that seemed to hint at it. "The shepherd will lead us..." line. I mean almost all of Rupp went nuts. Even if that wasn't his intent, i was seen that way. Have to be better at choosing words.
