This is about as good of a guess as I can come up with. Would suspect that gives us leg up on Stojakovic and F Brandon Angel
Who is the new assistant coach that is going to be announced today?
- Thread starter uktomcats
- Start date
Angel is a 6-8 240 senior. Looks like a pretty good shooter. Their leading scorer is 7-1 Maximum Raugard sp? who shot it at about 57% and averaged about 16 points.
Cmon man. You don’t remember the Evansville fiasco for McCarty right after he came to Rupp and beat cal and his all stars?
He’s in sexual misconduct lawsuits of his own
Oh yeah, I do remember that now. It was not fresh on my mind. Sorry. 😀 Yeah, I don't think Pope would go there. 👍
He's hiring me, Son_Of_Saul, and I'm bringing two players with me in @Cowtown Cat and @RunninRichie . RR's got a bit of an attitude, but we will channel it like we did with Liggins. Cowtown has a beer gut due to constant drinking just like Jared Prickett, but he's good for a 7 and 5 season and no improvement over the course of a five year career.

I have learned so much from all your expertise over the years I am certain Coach Pope can find a place for you
Bunch of weirdo's.... Geez....
Everyone is so wrong. I just got off the phone with my guy and said it’s someone who doesn’t want to leave Lexington.
Bruiser Flint.
Please don’t ban me.😁

Robic would be a very interesting choice. Seems like i remember hearing they wanted someone from Cal era. Robic would check that box.
Looked it up. Wayne Turner did both. Finished his degree at UK and was on the staff. Then went to UofL as director of player development under Pitino and Padgett
Would we want jai Lucas back?
It’d be down for it, that could be a possibility. Might bring Roach & Mitchell
Idk how Mitchell fits popes offense but my guess is now rondo is the big name guy that people aren’t 100 sure Kentucky gets
I thought Rondo doesn't have a degree and you have to for the job?
He's close to finishing. He was actually taking classes with Dillingham last fall.
Lucas was actually trained for a year in the run go run offense. It might come in handy. *Sarcasm*
Actually he might be a good hire. Get him and Rondo (if he has calmed down) both. I do find it interesting Roach and Lucas names started floating. Could be coincidence.

Absolutely imo. Good up and comer. Known as a recruiter. And got the heck out of dodge after a season under Cal bc he saw how broken the culture was and the lack of coaching and discipline from the staff down.
That tells me he knows what right is supposed to look like and wants to strive for greatness and wasn’t willing to accept cutting corners and just kicking his feet up as a yes man and collecting a check
Well you’re not into the friend making business I know that much. I’m not gonna block you though, guys like you need to be watched from the front.
A couple other Duke kids have hit the portal that would fit our system too and maybe a few more leave. Would help a lot if we got Lucas to come back and bring some players with him
I could get on board with that.
That would be a let down with all the hype that's built up over this addition.
I don't mind Padgett, but he's not worth a 4-5 page thread. He's just a good guy. Lucas, on the other hand, can help us against Duke in the coming days by spilling insider trade secrets with what Scheyer is doing and how he is doing it recruiting-wise.
Neither Roach nor Mitchell played good this year. It looked like Roach lost his confidence, had trouble shooting the ball the way he used to. Mitchell became a liability because he couldn't shoot worth a lick and people quit guarding him. Why would we want those two with all the top 3 point shooters available? Those two are ones that Cal would take.
