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

Hey Pope....

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

And yet a first round exit.

It was a single game

Against a lower tier basketball team.

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

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

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

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

BYU bench players in this case

Said it before and I’ll 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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Apr 22, 12:11pm
Richie must not care if he a starter. He didn't START at BYU, with Pope
