Thanks Coach Pope

[ORCAT10]

You assembled an outstanding staff.

You are going the extra mile in meeting recruits at the airport.

You are working your tail end off.

I can’t remember the last time BBN was this excited.

Grateful that you are our Coach.

 

[CatsFan4Evr.]

Dude is working his ass off. He shows every day that he LOVES Kentucky, something that was sorely missing from the previous staff.

 

[screwduke1]

I really hope he works out. With his work ethic it would be hard to believe if it didnt.

 

[Phil_The_Music]

Fun times for sure. I have found myself addicted to reading rafters. Can't put my phone down. 3 weeks ago I told my wife I was finished with UK basketball. Man how quickly things can change.

Here here! Cheers to Coach Pope in the staff. Keeping working hard and land these other couple studs that may stay in college or transfer and knock this class out of the park.

 

[ORCAT10]

Addicted as well. Have to force myself to turn off RR.

 

[JimboBBN]

He’s done more in two weeks than Cal did in 5 years for our program

I told myself I was going to quit for a couple of weeks and then just see who all has committed and what we have. That lasted a whole 10 minutes. Lol

I believe Coach Mark Pope is the hire we “needed”! I love everything this man is doing, can’t thank him enough!

Me too, it’s like news is coming in every couple hours. Commitments are flying.

I was just thinking that I hope Coach Pope knows how much we fans appreciate the work he is putting in. I have every confidence that he is going to lead us to Championships. Hopefully, he’ll have some opportunity to rest some before the season starts. I don’t know that any human can maintain the pace he’s been working at for a prolonged period.

Make this a Sticky Thread. Keep the Faith!!!

Go Cats!!
Arkansas sucks!!!

 

[cat tat2]

Passionate Coach!

Perfect fit for passionate fans!

This, this, and only this.

 

[KY Long Rifle]

He’s definitely on top of it, and I appreciate his hands on approach. If he’s willing to put that kind of time into recruiting, I can only feel good about the effort he will put into team prep once practices start.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Thank you Coach Pope I’ve got to save vacation days for KY Basketball game days again.

Damn right. I can’t wait to take vacations again for the SEC Tournament.

 

[OneBadCat]

I’m pulling so hard for him to be successful here, it’s his dream job and he’s not taking it for granted.
Plus, he has made being a member of BBN fun again…..thank you COACH!

 

[Catfan2226]

It's fun again.
And it's just beginning.
This could be a hell of a ride.

 

[Smashcat]

 

[DraftCat]

I want a Kentucky Legend in the HC Position more times than not moving forward.

It's more fun and you know it means more.

 

[westerncat]

I am so glad that we have a Coach that loves UK. He hit the ground running and I think he will put together a very good team. Everyone just needs to have patience and he and the staff will get it done.

 

[Wildcat_In_Florida]

I just can’t wait until he gets his final staff spot filled and the roster complete. Then he can focus on the team. He is working his ass off, can’t wait for him to start coaching the team. The man bleeds blue and that’s what we needed for awhile now. I’m pumped. Boom!

 

[dckala2]

Just don’t miss the tourney mark.

I like the way the team is actually coming together. Still work to do, but after just a couple of weeks I think Coach is headed in the right direction.

Yes we are. If we get Osobor, the frontcourt is in good shape with Williams, Carr and Osobor. The backcourt will have players added to go with what we have.
The defense is going to be pretty damn good and I can't wait to watch different defensive schemes being used. He said you have to keep opponents on their heels and we are going to see it.
I'm very pleased with how the roster is coming.

An actual coach who does his own work.
