Hey Pope....

WJCougar

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

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

Pope is an excellent recruiter. He’s only been at Kentucky 8 days. Chill.

Pope: “Richie, our relationship at BYU meant a lot to me”. *hits send on nice

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

Where is everyone saying Kentucky would never take him?

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

Byu had a top 20 kenpom team last year

JoeExotic

Apr 21, 6:19pm

And yet a first round exit.

JohnnyC

Apr 21, 6:22pm

It was a single game

JoeExotic

Apr 21, 6:25pm

Against a lower tier basketball team.

WJCougar

Apr 21, 7:19pm

Yes. That’s why it’s called March madness

JoeExotic

JohnnyC, I think two of Pope's weaknesses were

You are probably correct on this.

JohnnyC

Apr 21, 7:27pm

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

shoganai

Apr 21, 6:58pm

Duh. That’s why he’s not offering the entire BYU team

JoeExotic

Apr 21, 7:00pm

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

Apr 21, 7:06pm

I don't consider a realistic relative evaluation of talent to be "tearing down"

shoganai

Apr 21, 8:17pm

I’m sorry man, but you don’t know basketball if you think that

BYU bench players in this case

thewaterboy

Apr 21, 6:57pm

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

WP17

Apr 21, 6:09pm

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

spidercoug

Apr 21, 6:35pm

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

WP17

Apr 21, 6:54pm

Virginia and BYU are also in the same recruiting level. Kentucky is not. Look at

spidercoug

Apr 21, 6:59pm

BYU hasn’t been a legit Big12 squad before. Pope will compete against the difference makers we *need*

WP17

Apr 21, 7:02pm

Name a difference maker besides Chandler BYU got that would succeed at Kentucky

spidercoug

Apr 21, 7:04pm

NIL is the bigger issue not Pope.

spidercoug

Apr 21, 7:05pm

Again, BYU’s pool is shifting. And Pope will pull bench players who would start at BYU.

WP17

Apr 21, 7:35pm

Not really. BYU still has lots of recruiting obstacles. Maybe once every 5 years

spidercoug

Apr 21, 8:02pm

I wish I was as sanguine as you. I think our top targets will be Pope’s bench targets. Every year

WP17

Apr 21, 8:18pm

Which hurts a LOT because those are players who can be huge difference makers

ConnCoug

Apr 21, 8:41pm

There is and will be overlap for the LDS recruit who is also top 50 or so nation

ConnCoug

Apr 21, 7:12pm

Like I said NIL will be the bigger issue and if Pope does go to more team

spidercoug

Apr 21, 7:15pm

People that are saying that he couldn't make it at Kentucky.

archie

Apr 21, 6:55pm

That's the reason he needs players from BYU. He has an entire roster to fill.

spidercoug

Apr 21, 7:01pm

Not only that, haven’t we been claiming the Big 12 is the best CBB conference?

Metallicat

Apr 21, 7:03pm

It’s not just about Saunders. It’s about any and every highly rated LDS talent

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

Because he genuinely thinks Richie can help them win

If I’m Pope, Saunders is the one BYU guy I want.

It's sad that Richie won't get a chance to meet any of his potential teammates ...there aren't any. Please proceed

CLCougar

Apr 21, 6:24pm

Is Pope going to promise to not play him enough minutes there too?

ImRonBurgundy?

Apr 21, 6:26pm

Yep....already guaranteed him coming off the bench 🙂

WJCougar

Apr 21, 7:20pm

Kentucky insiders like him as a “role player”

CougarCanuck76

Apr 21, 6:32pm

Well....they dont have any starters at the moment.

WJCougar

Apr 21, 7:21pm

Of course that will change. It's still Kentucky.

CougarCanuck76

Apr 22, 12:11pm

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

BYUJoJo

Apr 21, 6:42pm

It’s all about the $$$$ get paid now worry about anything else later

kotacoug

Apr 21, 6:46pm

6th man at Kentucky would be sweet for him. They will love him there. We will
