Demarcus Henry crystal ball placed

We didnt want him or the other 50 recruits we failed to close on anyway.
Mark pope days are numbered at Kentucky! Lucky if he makes it til march. If he’s smart he would resign! Wait til march then your fired!
Recruits know he won't be here next year. That's why I put my prediction in we never see Hampton in a UK jersey. He might stick with the new coach tho.
If we get jai lucas you best bet he will be here
I wish. If we get him il not worried about recruiting at all. Duke might be tho.
Pass on Lucas Need someone more established long term. Lucas is a good coach and seems to be able to get players just not sold on him at this point in his career.
Which compounds the ability to recruit. When kids see an entire fanbase wants a coach out, why the heck would they come?
And who is that? Please stop with Billy Donovan.
Who is the established coach that's coming over? UK just went through that exercise two years ago and UNC just went through it and landed on Malone. Can't think the UK job is any better than UNC.
Our TarHeels bud certainly doesn't seem to have his signals straight on this one. There is no way UNC is getting Henry and Rosser.
Cal now in an interesting spot. He's down to needing one of Black/Daughtry, which he'll likely get. Williams & Diggs aren't going his way, then have to wonder if he's getting Rosser too, or a reclass. Rosser remains the big mystery now.

Doubt the next coach will retain Zoom, when Pope is fired after this season.
Currently! Fans celebrate Popes victories over Duke and Gonzaga. That’s what Indiana does so that’s why I call them the Kentucky Hoosiers. Coach by sec turd of the year!
Ironically it is literally the only crystal ball David Sisk has ever cast on 247sports.
I swear you’re a bot! You comment very short sentences that don’t really have anything to do with what you’re replying to! Your either AI/bot or have limited understanding of English!
I’m not surprised, he was literally using every other team to boost his value. He was always going to UNC. Seems like everyone knows that but our coach. I know he had to go see him and do his due diligence, but I wish he would actually target 3-4 players he really wants other than offer the whole top 25 and get used to raise prices. Class after class the same thing has happened. He was lucky two kids were from the state last year, although only one was an actual good player. That’s all he has pulled outside Hampton who sadly is falling fast in the rankings. Hopefully he turns out undervalued.
Apparently UNC nor Kentucky tried to get Oats due to his reputation. Who knows what Batt’s relationship with Oats is and whether or not he’d take the Kentucky job. I don’t personally buy it, but some fans do. But I agree if you can’t get an established coach, take Lucas or Shertz.
What exactly is the issue with Oats reputation? Anything he does is pittly winks compared to what LSU is doing.
Shared the list elsewhere of those established coaches that are worth approaching: McCasland, Otz, McCollum. I doubt guys like Lloyd, Golden leave.
Some of these coaches may be very selective waiting out some of these other big jobs that may open. A coach that's gone through a P5 clean could be a good option.
Bill Self is probably coaching his last season due to health concerns.I think Kansas first call will be to Golden at Florida and he will take it.
Golden's next stop is Golden State. Not sure what he's gaining at KU. CBS recently flagged UF in tier 1 of NIL, Kansas in tier 2. I honestly don't know why any coach would leave a P5 school if they're already in a winning situation unless they were getting substantially more NIL. A guy like Oats may be willing to walk from Bama to UK because he could effectively be doubling his NIL.

CBS Sports contacted more than 100 sources to discover how much each power-conference hoops program invested this season

I think he has a similar reputation as Cal before he came to Kentucky where he took some less than savory players with off-the-court issues. I personally don’t care. But we know how sanctimonious Mitch Barnhart is. Or how holier than thou UNC is, despite getting away with murder.
I thought Kansas had a coach in-waiting on their staff? I remember some Kansas fans mentioning it somewhere. An assistant coach like Scheyer at Duke.
