whoneedscorners?
All-American
He said himself in the press conference that he plans to be #1 in the country
in 3s made and attempted. He'll run the same system. Having a different player profile will change how they attack. But it won't change the offense.

Well, I can confirm with 100% certainty Pope is actively recruiting our guys
kansascougar

If Kentucky is so great why is he recruiting BYU players?
WJCougar
Apr 15, 9:04am
Continuity and seniority.
Mostlyaccurate
Apr 15, 9:05am
So you're saying Pope can't recruit?
WJCougar
Apr 15, 9:06am
No I'm not. Continuity and senority win in college basketball.
Mostlyaccurate
Apr 15, 9:10am
So....he cannot recruit. Got it.
WJCougar
Apr 15, 9:12am
Right…because that approach worked so well this year for Kentucky…
arcawley

They had a better season than BYU had.
dYrtbYkerYder

Not really
arcawley
Apr 15, 12:31pm
so basically you're saying the BYU guys we have that he recruited are all crap?
icecougar
Apr 15, 10:44am
Nope....I'm saying Pope cannot recruit apparently.
WJCougar
Apr 15, 11:16am
right, so you're saying our BYU guys are crap
icecougar
Apr 15, 11:29am
Nooe...never said that. It's obvious you want it to say that.
WJCougar
Apr 15, 11:33am
Ummm it isn’t mutually exclusive.
DrJazzy
Apr 15, 1:21pm
Looks like UK has 10 scholarships available. His 1st job will be to recruit
dratax
Apr 15, 11:37am
What is a scholarship? Those don't really matter much anymore.
dYrtbYkerYder
Apr 15, 11:55am
Let me rephrase. KU has 10 players gone. 3 decommitted + 7 in the portal
dratax
Apr 15, 2:25pm
Pretty simple logic.
DrJazzy
Apr 15, 1:20pm
The typical UK recruit is a 1 and done guy and they never have continuity.

That was under Cal.

that's kind of the nature of the beast when you're a blue blood like Kentucky...

Whatever Pooe does better get deep tournament runs starting year 1 or he won’t

Is devaluing the players on our roster a coping mechanism for some?

Yes....I'm sure Kentucky fans are really excited to see...
WJCougar

He's not bringing every player

Hall, Saunders, Robinson, and Chandler could absolutely help Kentucky win.
dYrtbYkerYder
Apr 15, 10:37am
Very doubtful Saunders would get playing time. Hall is a maybe (definitely not
BYUHgrad
Apr 15, 10:39am
Richie would have the same role there that he had this year

Except 5 guys better than him would be on the depth chart. Saunders is maybe
BYUHgrad

I will eat crow if they do well. But I will take my chances, as the metrics

They will probably be staying.

But not because they couldn't have been helpful at KY because they would be
runnincoug
Apr 15, 11:47am
Remember how Kansas ran out of depth? That happens. These teams aren't 10 deep.
dYrtbYkerYder
Apr 15, 11:03am
Injuries or KU would have had its normal depth.
Cougarbib
Apr 15, 2:40pm
So would Khalifa, especially if he is healthy and able to get better conditioned
jaba166
Apr 15, 3:24pm
Probably best for you to fanboy for another team with so much negativity on BYU
NYC and Japan
Apr 15, 12:13pm
You can talk about realistic expectations. No need to sugarcoat...
WJCougar
Apr 15, 1:46pm
You are way beyond “not sugarcoat” in this thread
NYC and Japan
Apr 15, 6:04pm
Not really. You cannot ignore the truth which is what you are doing

We do not know what system Pope will implement at Kentucky when he has

In places to retire - Kentucky is #50 on the 2024 kiplinger list. There's that.

A lake house near a golf course in the Southeast is my dream place to retire.
dYrtbYkerYder
Apr 15, 11:04am
To replace the 7 Kentucky players in the portal?
dratax
Apr 15, 11:05am
Enemy #1 right now. I'll cheer for him in 6 months when he's done raiding byu
Mostlyaccurate
Apr 15, 9:04am
I have always cheered for Kentucky to lose and that won’t change at all. In fact
Ojiisan
Apr 15, 9:12am
This. When I even care - always the underdog. Cinderella. And of course, Big 12.

Nope, never will cheer for him. He underperformed here and is screwing us on

This won’t affect CBers strange love affair for the guy

Why are our guys who didn’t get past the first round now going to win him an NC?
Heath Squashwell
Apr 15, 9:06am
He just wants a few. Not all.
Don Carlton
Apr 15, 9:07am
Fair question....I think Jax could play at UK and Chandler but not in year 1
kansascougar
Apr 15, 9:08am
They'll be bench players.
BlueFever
Apr 15, 9:09am
We already had Khalifa listing Kentucky and we assume Robinson and Chandler will get dialed. Kentucky
mokelembembe
Apr 15, 9:08am
Yup, I'm guessing Pope's list is Robinson, Khalifa, and Chandler.
CPAcoug87
Apr 15, 9:10am
And Saunders

I don't see the Saunders thing happening.

I don’t see it happening either, but not because Saunders isn’t good enough

It's very low budget and cowardly to not say goodbye and to steal BYU players on

If Pope is going for BYU players, then UK fans have a right to be "concerned."

Of course he will recruit guys to Kentucky.

His system is jacking up 3s

Can you say how many, and whether any are new signees?
CLCougar

BYU better hire a head coach. This is a Holmoe issue not a Pope issue.
EDthoracotomy

Why was it OK for Pope to bring UVU players to BYU but not to Kentucky?

Who said it wasn't?

If they can only play 2 years at a community College, how is that "taking" players from FCCC? They have to go
