Big Z Meeting with Pope Monday!!
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54_rivals112262
- Start date
There's going to be some pleasent surprises as we take this journey, even if Z, etc. don't come back.
HIs system is too good not to get some good ones and that Press Conference today was just berzerk in a good way.

If this happens UK fans will be like...
Totally agree!
But man oh man, Big Z would absolutely kill it in Pope's offense
Should've had the fans do a Big Z chant. I think Z would flourish in Pope's system. Cal will hurt his draft stock.
Glad to see Big Z is willing to listen.... we don't know yet how Coach Pope will recruit but getting him in a 1 on 1 meeting with a kid that you know loves BBN.
I say he stays.
I say he stays.
Would be great if he stayed at UK. I agree with others that he would do wonders In Popes system. Please let this happen.
I said yesterday I just hope they can sit down and go over how he’d be used next year- that’s all we can ask for at this point and glad it’s happening
We need to give ourselves some props as a fanbase. We went from universally being furious when the hire was announced, to absolutely showing out today when it mattered most. You know recruits are gonna see what happened today and it will only help us going forward
The 5 out offense Pope runs that requires some ball skills out of the Center is tailor made for Big Z!!!!
I would be shocked if he didn’t prefer Coach Pope’s offense to Cal’s.
Hope he stays.

Ideally we don’t have to rely on Perry starting but love everything else
Popes offense will highlight his NBA talent the most. No way Z doesn't look at Popes offense and understand it is tailor made for him.
Big z and the Drexel guy would be a great frontcourt
Pope loves passing Bigs. Perfect fit for the Pope!
That's if Reed comes back.If this happens UK fans will be like...
Getting Z back will be a good, good start.
Big Z seemed comfortable out front. Can picture him now in Pope's system thriving.
Like our chances... feel like Z just made a knee jerk decision but this offense fits him well. Bring it HOME!
Freaking sweet! We all love big Z. Please stay big guy. You would crush in his offense and be a star.
20k for a press conference may have some intangibles. I really hope he comes back.
Z likely knows nothing about Pope, but he would absolutely be better served playing in Pope’s offense than following Cal to Arkansas. Cal has no clue how to use a big like Z.
Believe it when I see it. I also don't think perry is good enough to start as a freshmen.
If he ends up starting we swung and miss on certain targets.
Big z, Small, dubar, Blackmon, Williams, and whatever else would be a great haul by pope
As far as a starting group goes, Perry is the only one not good enough to help us win an SEC title.
Swap Perry with another really experienced guard in the portal and that's a super talented starting 5 IMO
The Big Z IQ test.
He'll pass it or he won't.
He'll pass it or he won't.
I will absolutely love watching him play against Cal.If this happens UK fans will be like...
After watching Pope's offense, Z would benefit greatly by playing in it. But it's Z's decision.
So if he doesn't stay at UK he is a big dummy eh? Our fans are the worst sometimes.
