Could be, but I think we have enough good and experienced players to at least be optimistic. We should be a good shooting team with solid defense. There's definitely been lesser teams make the final four.
Yep! He has missed the phases of the moon a few times but that stuff is pretty unpredictable I think.
This one gave me a good chuckle
I think I could go to that octopus at the zoo they get to pick games and have the same success and have the same track record
He was also adamant Kentucky was in on Javon small when Kentucky never really was
Most of what I see on Twitter is Tennessee fans saying they have him locked up
He still only had one apprentice at a time, the Sith crave power. They are always looking for a stronger apprentice to over take them one day which is why he went after Dooku when Maul was presumed dead.
Iv mentioned this earlier how we need to get out of our old Cow mindset of desperately needing that Anthony Davis to be able to win, that's what he needed, not a coach that uses coaching not go and run.
That was literally the most dumbshit thing George Lucas ever did. Which is saying a lot by the time he got done with the whole prequel thing.
I don't know who all these coaches that don't need high quality talent are.
A random Mexican restaurant in Waco and a random cookie joint in Knox-Vile are beating Jeff Ruby's these days. What has the world come to?
Yeah I’m sure he’s going to Knoxville for cookies. If that’s his reasoning maybe he will fit right in with the IQ level.
Tell us that you live in your mom’s basement without telling us you live in your mom’s basement
I was citing a transcendental generational talent in Davis which is what put Cow over the moon. Loved that team w Jones too
I may not know but I do know we are not a final four team this year or next with the level of talent that we will have this year. If you think we have final four talent, you don't know basketball. Year three before we can hope to compete for a SEC title. We need time to develop kids. We are not recruiting 5 or 6 5 star one and dune players going forward. If thatis what you want you should have cried and screamed to keep Cal. We are spoiled with Cal's recruiting. One and done will NOT win Championships. Player development with a team with 5 seniors that have been developed. We have not seen player development in so long most of our fans do not understand what it is.
name me the all conference players and let's review it end of season. I hope we have 5 but I don't see any.
The funny thing about Lanier's recruitment is if he chooses Orange, he not worth a shit and we really did not want him. If he chooses us, he is first team all-American potential. I am amazed how little our fans actually understand basketball talent but think everyone that chooses KY is a stud. I hope and pray we have a stud on our roster. Help me identify who that kid is.
I’m not knocking pope. I’m definitely all in on him. He can absolutely get more out of less talent than Cal ever could. But honestly, he’s yet to win an ncaa tourney game. Coaching will take you a long way, but I think in order to win as big as we want to as UK fans we’re gonna need an alpha or two along the way. He’s not gonna need as many as Cal or even someone as dominate as Davis, but sometimes you just gonna have to have a guy that can go get what you need and take over a game for you. I like this team a lot with the way pope coaches. I think some are underestimating how good some of our guys are gonna be. I just think it’s missing that alpha guy that takes it to the next level. Just my opinion…..
Well for one get the damn stud talk crap out of your thought process that would help. That’s cal bs. Popes system is more sum of parts over one stud. They have a lot of really good players, I don’t get the posters like yourself who act like the roster is bad, and they have a bunch of scrubs. Laneir is a really good player and I want him here, if UT gets him that’s a really good gets for them. If Kentucky gets Robinson however it will work out for both parties. Lastly I’m not gonna sit here and make rash judgements about a team before they play a game.
Great post! We don't need five 5 stars but we do need one player that plays like a 5 star. The Alpha guy is so important in EVERY team sport.
Yet Pope's system couldn't get BYU past Duquesne. You still have to have the players no matter who the coach is.
He has gotten better players than he had at BYU. I don’t get the hate in this roster at all, and I honestly never will. They need a scorer. The stud stuff and acting like this roster isn’t good right now I don’t understand.
Pope’s system produced a worse statistical win-loss than his predecessor. One year upgrade in conference albeit. Still worse. Never won a tournament game, questions about ability to recruit, etc. Lots of questions, huge opportunity, better than Cal- but there are legit questions.
The next installment will be a Lord of The Rings conversational essay on what really happened to the Ent Wives.
Son, we've been in the twilight zone since around March 14th, 2020.
Some of the logic of some is just retarded
His predecessor was there 14 years, so it’s not really fair comparison. A lot of you seem to have your minds made up about what pope is going to be before he coaches a game. These questions aren’t legit until he coaches a game first and has completed a season first. Not even 2 months In and there’s a portion nitpicking him.
