Hiring one of his dad's former teammates and best friends to come coach here?
SURELY that has to get Reed and his family leaning one way?

This HAS to help with Reed, right?!

Man, I have a feeling Reed doesn't care and will be gone regardless. If Barnhart did hire Pope in part to get Reed back, I think that will blow up in his face. 😔
Maybe DJ and Reed stay and become our building block. Z can learn a lot from Mark.
If this doesn’t come with Reed and Z returning, Pope is starting off on a terrible foot. I just can’t believe this right now. I’d rather have John Calipari.
Jeff loves Mark Pope . I don’t know if it will have any influence on Reeds decision. But there was no other coach that would have helped more . Be cool if he hired Padgett as an assistant.
Reed can lead us to the NIT final four. Why would he come back to get double teamed with a crap team?
Well Z is already following the Arkansas IG account so that’s now a good start to him possibly coming back .
Honestly I hope he doesn't come back. He doesn't deserve to have his stock tanked by getting tied to Mitch's mess.
Here is his current squad and staff ….
Regardless of who’s coaching, having Reed on next years roster goes a long way towards making that transition a lot smoother. If Donovan magically decides to come here, I can see him taking a great interest in making Reed the focal point of his offense. Can probably see a lot of his former self in Reed.
I don’t give a shit if Reed comes back. That doesn’t justify this hire nor makes any damn sense to hire a guy for one year of Reed
The players aren't stupid.
No one is excited about this hire.
I keep seeing the usual suspects rambling about Reed returning to get double tested every game abd to will UK to a NIT bid next season.
I had Reed leaving regardless who was the coach .
But I never understood those thinking Cal leaving increased Reed chances of coming back

Dude no. If I was Reed I’d declare now. Now way in hell I’m playing for an unproven coach. If I’m Jeff I even tell Reed to leave.
Reed put up numbers this year that would be hard to duplicate. He stands to lose millions if he comes back.
For the millionth time:
Reed is a lottery pick. Possibly top 5. If he stays another year he will:
1. No longer be a lottery pick
2. Play on a much weaker team
3. Decrease statistically across every category except PPG
4. Experience the same result in the tournament, if UK even makes it
Tampa has been a Cal lover throughout. More than any of the others, and he acts like that wasn’t the case. Probably starts more threads than anyone on this board.
Oh there won't be anyone staying. Not now. We lost that chance with this hire. Plus we won't attract any top portal guys.
Get ready for a squad of lance wares.
