For me it has nothing to do with the talent level. You are correct he had to scramble. And he did a good job putting together a team. I can wait for better players. What I cannot wait for is preparation, desire and confidence. I am concerned about how our team fairs in a lot of circumstances. I am concerned that the same issues never get corrected.I reckon you missed the part where CMP came in here hamstrung in the portal from the jump due to our former "coach" leaving us in a bind. This whole season has been us playing with house money. Anyone with any sense can see that. We need some athletes. We're a finesse team this year and it's hard to manufacture something that we aren't. The incoming class so far should be a sign of things to come. Folks crapping on this team this year have zero perspective on what it takes to be competitive.
Fair point but you can have talent and not be athletic enough. We have two athletes on the team in Oweh and Chandler. We get beat off the dribble so much and have opponents in our faces enough that leads me to believe that. We also hesistate on a lot of open looks which allows the defense to make up some ground. Those issues may not get corrected this season but I have no doubt that we will get those kind of ball players in the future. With all that being said, given our limitations I'm of the mind that had we stayed healthy that we would be a very good team.For me it has nothing to do with the talent level.

Only because Ky could get the best talent here because Cal only cared about getting guys to the nba. So the best kids came here and Pitino could not overcome the talent levels. Pay attention.
But the games still happened, they were still played and Pitino still won them, whether the record books acknowledge it or not. It pains me to say that because I hate UL so much.Technically he didn’t. According to the record books that game didn’t happen.
I cannot and will not acknowledged that due to cheating. Nor should anyone else in my opinion. Getting real sick of this “win at all cost” society.But the games still happened, they were still played and Pitino still won them, whether the record books acknowledge it or not.

How many years did Cal coach before he got his title? He got one taken away. You did not even give Pope a day. OKdon’t let your hatred blind you from the fact he’s leaps and bounds better than our coach and any of the coaches you mentioned. Prove to me he’s not.
Does morality count for anything. The guy that's got a girl pregnant with he's son watching the door at a restaurant Hired hookers to entertain kids. Would you want you son.to play for him. Not meGood lord
The guy that has a losing record to calipari?
Pope is in his first year, with a team he put together in a month and had like 7 top 15 wins.
There's a reason not many ppl want this job, op gave a prime example why.
We wanted to get ti the tournament and win a game this hear, and you lunatics have convinced yourselves it's title or bust in yr 1
No matter how much you pump up these guys they know they were a bid fish in a tiny pond before getting to the big blue ocean. On top of that we have the sharks in the SEC this year. It is not like pumping up a mid level high school player to get him to play above his station. These guys are limited to their abilities. We have had a great year with the players we have. If we did not have the injuries we are probably looking at a 6 loss to 8 loss team for the year and a 2 or 3 seed with this SEC schedule. Everyone would have taken that back in April last year. We get a 4 seed with 2 guys out for the year, our starting PG playing at 80% per himself and it is a win of a year. If we get lucky and win 2 this week and 1 or 2 in the SEC tourney and we are back to a 3 seed, we lose both and first tourney game and we are a 5 or 6 seed. IT is what it is or aint what it aint at this point. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!For me it has nothing to do with the talent level. You are correct he had to scramble.
