Aberdeen to UK!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
And I just don't see how we aren't top5 for sure, but probably should be more like top3 and even a case for #1 preseason. Like someone posted above, we almost have two starting lineups.

We have room for one more player and one more player only. His name is Dame Sarr. I am keeping this dream alive, even if it is a pipe dream.
The depth is 90s-level, without exaggeration. When Jasper Johnson is possibly your fourth or fifth guard/wing player, you know you're dealing with elite depth.
Kentucky will be coming at opponents in relentless waves next year, with legitimate length at all positions.
We really needed that third legit defensive guard and that second legit one. Similar to Demary on those two things but maybe a better offensive player with Aberdeen and plus he seems to be a high intensity guard like Oweh.
THOUSAND percent on board with something like that versus a player like Wilkerson.
We shored up a (personal) concern of mine at lead guard for when Lowe is out (or, hell, who knows how practice plays out!) and got a player that just won a national championship.
If some of you all weren't watching/paying attention, he was in there for the under 4 timeout....crunch time......in the national championship game.
Pope had to throw a roster together last season, this year he meticulously created a fantastic one
I love that kid's game, but I think Pope wants Jasper Johnson to be his next long-term Jaxson Robinson, and I think the staff wants him to have a real chance next season and developing. Sarr to UK makes that development more difficult because it pushes Jasper even further down a rotation that is already looking like the deepest in the nation next season.
Field of 68 is acting like we have to many players and it’s gonna cause problems
Aberdeen
Johnson
Williams
Mo D
Garrison
or
Lowe
Chandler
Oweh
Jelavic
JQ
Choices...choices....
The coaching staff be like:
Johnson
Williams
Mo D
Garrison
or
Lowe
Chandler
Oweh
Jelavic
JQ
Choices...choices....
The coaching staff be like:
Maybe promises broken at Florida...... or was it a straight cash grab?
41-0 now.... NCAA has granted an extra game in the regular season now
Old Mag on quite the roll.
Aberdeen with his Gaelic / Scottish last name ( meaning the mouth of river Don) got Coach AB splashing
Those guys are always trying to create drama for hits.
Even then, I wouldn’t be certain there wasn’t a kid from somewhere in central FL Pope wasn’t visiting on a trip like that
Like, if donors were glad Cal was gone and gave Pope some ammo to hunt, I'm sure they are *very* happy with what he did in such a short amount of time both last season and up to now in the portal.
Would make total sense some of them are upping donations or getting off the sideline after seeing results and buying in.
Just from an x's and o's and analytics perspective, Pope is going to just wring every ounce out of what he has.
Last season, even with injuries, was proof of concept for Pope and I 100% believe more donors would be wanting to help at this point
You are joking, right? It is about money. Kentucky offered him much more than UF.
Practice is going to be a war. We had swaggy cal and now it's Pimpy Pope LFG.
Fof68 said you all offered a mill and we offered 2
You know it could be all you delusional Florida football fans care more about football than what has made your school relevant the last 15 years basketball .
Now he's trying to raise the talent floor for practices lol.
The faith I have for Pope to figure it all out is about 100000000000000000% more than the last guy.
Practice reports are going to be incredible, can't wait to see who starts separating themselves and establish their spots (again, something else I completely trust the staff with figuring out with so many pieces)
And this is the proper pecking order.
Kentucky does and always will eat first.
Florida is a football school, and hopefully moves like this make Golden question how long he wants to be at Florida (same for Nate Oats).
I hope they both leave the college game and send Alabama and Florida back to obscurity.
The SEC has always been our house, and it's far time that the pecking order was reestablished by making programs like that shine our shoes like they used to.
Defense should be much improved.
Depth should be better.
Got to stay healthy.
Depth should be better.
Got to stay healthy.
Pope thinking about dusting off the relentless full court press Pitino used to throw out?
Outside of fouls, that's gotta be the most direct way to impose your will and use your depth, right?
Just never let the opponent breathe or freely think/see the court without some guy(s) in their face
We might have some historically elite depth and length. If any roster could pull it off, next year's team could.
Lowe can shoot the three. Take a look at his form. We will be fine. Too many on here worried about that. Lordy.
