Wild prediction based on not a lot

Beat Mississippi State at home once again.

Steal their best player in the off-season.

Refuse to elaborate.

Was my first thought seeing Pope stop and talk to him a little extra. Felt like “establishing familiarity and good grace” for a potential recruitment later.

Would be the perfect Butler replacement
 
Hard pass. Hubbard is not the type of player that would fit in Pope's system.

He is a ball dominant point guard that takes way too many contested and ill-advised three point shots. Some times he will go off (like he did against UK in 2024 where he made 4 three pointers in the last minute).

But more often then not, he will do what he did last night, where he led Miss St in FG attempts, yet shot very poorly, including 3/11 from deep.

Some may say Pope will get him to play within the system, but I highly doubt players like Hubbard can just change who they are.
 
On a board where a lot of people's head is about to explode because we're so horrible defensively this seems like a bad idea.
