SIAP Lanier to UT

Recruiting lights are looking pretty bright for Pope right now. You think Drew or Hurley would’ve whiffed on all of Osobor, McNeeley, Davis, and Lanier if we had hired one of them as our coach? I doubt it.
How long will you keep masquerarding around as a UK fan? Seems like a pretty empty endeavour.
Then go root for those teams then. The first 3 you mentioned pope didn’t whiff on.
So you know for a fact Hurley would have paid your first 3 names what they were demanding? You 'actually' think Hurley does not walk away from good recruits?
Whiffed suggest that Pope wanted them at any cost and couldn't get them. Since we weren't a part of those discussions, we don't know if Pope whiffed on them or if he told them what his terms are and they chose elsewhere. It is amazing the number of half empty glass people who are still on this board masquerading as UK fans.
Kentucky absolutely wanted this guy, but it didnt work out. Kentucky being in the hunt was actually kind of surprising as the guy is a Tennessee native, and Barnes certainly allowed Knecht to blossom.
Whether it works out or not remains to be seen. This is really no different than basic recruiting. Sometimes you get em, sometimes you dont.

How do you know who Kentucky wanted? There is a difference between interested in a player if the price is right vs going after a player at any cost.
It’s also funny to me the ones that are saying osobor is a miss. 2 million for osobor is a robbery in broad daylight
Let the crybabies have their moment in the sun now because they are gonna look like miserable losers once the season starts and they see first hand that coaching and experience actually matters.
Those same whiners and the Lanier groupies would have made similar posts had Pope given Lanier 2 mil.
The crybabies will find something to cry about no matter how well the team does.
Watching recruiting in the new NIL/ transfer portal era, I'm a believer in PayPal supremacy.
Robinson ain't all that. He started out at TAMU and couldn't see the floor, so he transferred to Arkansas and couldn't see the floor, so he transferred to BYU. He's a decent 3 point shooter, but nothing special, can't create his own shot, and couldn't defend my little sister. If you need a stand still, spot up shooter, who shoots a low percentage from 3, then he's your guy.
Maybe stick to something else, basketball isn't for you
And what if they have a bad season?Will you call yourself a moron?
it says more about the type of person you are than anything. but keep being ignorant.
Says the troll …your posting history explains it all. That’s why you never answered my question bout that,…Tard fan.
Considering Pope coached him last season, he knows exactly what he brings to the table which can't be said about Lanier.
I watched several BYU games, guy drove to the basket tons, shot 2's and 3's went left and right. He is an average defender not a lockdown but is capable.
Lanier might be the guy you are thinking about not defending people. lol
There is a reason why Robinson is still in the NBA draft and Lanier isn't.
The cope is so hard that it almost looks like sarcasm.
Yay. We filled out a roster just like every other team.
We had Brooks flying out to meet with Roach. They wanted him bad. Pope not willing to pay the money on players or not is irrelevant. He wanted both Osobor and Davis. He’s going to have to put his big boy pants on at some point. These other teams have done what it takes to land the top players. Pope isn’t going to make it here unless he does the same.
Roach committed April 21st, Alvin brooks was announced on April 25th so I don’t know how that would line up.

how did we have Brooks flying out to meet with Roach when Brooks didn’t announce for UK till April 25th and Roach committed to Baylor on April 21st?
Does Brooks have the ability to manipulate time and space?
Pope hasn't coached a single game at Kentucky, but you already know what Pope needs to do differently than what he is currently doing to be successful. Too bad you didn't give Cal your advice.
So wrong on every point that it's pathetic..I also noticed ukortho liked it but laughed at a post I made earlier, that's fine, I've laughed at his shit before also
Isn't Ukortho the guy that guaranteed Cal was gone after the 22-23 season? Yeah, he was.
Well my typical sarcasm is littered with jocularity. That post was not. Coping methods differ and I would say your trying to point out others coping is your way of coping. So right back at you.
That word should never be used IMO. I have an autistic nephew who has been called that and it's not cool at all.
Said brooks flew out to see roach when roach committed 4 before brooks was officially hired. So that’s not facts. Also his group is equating reaching out for intial contact on a lot these guys and saying it’s a miss. If that’s the case then every coaching staff in America misses on alot of players if intially reaching out is considered a miss
I went to a catholic high school and that word would get you written up
But he still went after Lanier first and only after he missed on him did he fly out to Utah.
