Hey Pope....

Pope thanks BYU in the morning and then stabs them in the back that night. š

Just proves Pope cannot recruit. Every Kentucky recruit bailed and the only...

Pope is an excellent recruiter. Heās only been at Kentucky 8 days. Chill.

Well at least he won't have a special feeling at UK. BYU has one.

Kentucky is in trouble if they're banking on BYU transfers.

Byu had a top 20 kenpom team last year

And yet a first round exit.
JohnnyC

It was a single game
JoeExotic

Against a lower tier basketball team.
WJCougar
4/21/24 7:19pm
Yes. Thatās why itās called March madness

You are probably correct on this.

Kentucky considers seasons a failure if they don't make at least the Elite 8 and

Duh. Thatās why heās not offering the entire BYU team

It kills me that these folks think that tearing down our own players is a good

4/21/24 7:06pm
I don't consider a realistic relative evaluation of talent to be "tearing down"

Iām sorry man, but you donāt know basketball if you think that

BYU bench players in this case

Said it before and Iāll say again- mark Pope at Kentucky is bad for BYU. Hope he loses every game.

This doesn't show anything. If Pope had no connection to Saunders, he wouldn't
spidercoug

Heās a member of the church at a blue blood. Saunders or any blue chip LDS kid fives him a look. Just like Bronco

4/21/24 6:54pm
Virginia and BYU are also in the same recruiting level. Kentucky is not. Look at

4/21/24 6:59pm
BYU hasnāt been a legit Big12 squad before. Pope will compete against the difference makers we *need*
WP17
4/21/24 7:02pm
Name a difference maker besides Chandler BYU got that would succeed at Kentucky
spidercoug
4/21/24 7:04pm
NIL is the bigger issue not Pope.
spidercoug
4/21/24 7:05pm
Again, BYUās pool is shifting. And Pope will pull bench players who would start at BYU.
WP17
4/21/24 7:35pm
Not really. BYU still has lots of recruiting obstacles. Maybe once every 5 years
spidercoug
4/21/24 8:02pm
I wish I was as sanguine as you. I think our top targets will be Popeās bench targets. Every year
WP17
4/21/24 8:18pm
Which hurts a LOT because those are players who can be huge difference makers
ConnCoug
4/21/24 8:41pm
There is and will be overlap for the LDS recruit who is also top 50 or so nation
ConnCoug
4/21/24 7:12pm
Like I said NIL will be the bigger issue and if Pope does go to more team
spidercoug
4/21/24 7:15pm
People that are saying that he couldn't make it at Kentucky.
archie
4/21/24 6:55pm
That's the reason he needs players from BYU. He has an entire roster to fill.
spidercoug
4/21/24 7:01pm
Not only that, havenāt we been claiming the Big 12 is the best CBB conference?
Metallicat

Itās not just about Saunders. Itās about any and every highly rated LDS talent

If Pope can only recruit Mormon players he is in BIG trouble.

It's sad that Richie won't get a chance to meet any of his potential teammates ...there aren't any. Please proceed
CLCougar
4/21/24 6:24pm
Is Pope going to promise to not play him enough minutes there too?
ImRonBurgundy?
4/21/24 6:26pm
Yep....already guaranteed him coming off the bench š
WJCougar
4/21/24 7:20pm
Kentucky insiders like him as a ārole playerā
CougarCanuck76
4/21/24 6:32pm
Well....they dont have any starters at the moment.
WJCougar
4/21/24 7:21pm
Of course that will change. It's still Kentucky.
CougarCanuck76

Richie must not care if he a starter. He didn't START at BYU, with Pope
