I mean, it really is. As was McBride. If he can find a way to sign a kid like Momcilovic he might have a heck of a team. As it is, they will compete as well as last years squad and I actually think better. Mire athletes for sure
I'll put $100 on that we will win an SECT game with you. Put up or shut up. You can repost this about tournament time and I will stick with my commitment will you?
8ppg at Washington State. Lmfao what a joke this program has become. F*ck Mark Pope
A chance at a sweet 16? Omg that's effing amazing. Build the statue
Momcilovic isn't coming here.
Not being a dick, but I don't think even with that we are a top 6 in the SEC unless it's way down. I think last years team on paper was probably better and we finished 9th.
Canāt wait for next season to be over.
5 in 5 will change that. Plus a good season with 25+ wins will solidify the middle core of the team. Mo Williams on the bench will be an added asset. We might as well get ready for a 4th & 5th year of Pope.
Good pick up. This team would look pretty darn good if you had gotten Stokes or can luck into a stud that withdraws from the draft or some magical foreign savior.
Definitely finishing outside the top 10 in the sec. Probably finish 11th or 12th. 16-20 losses.
How is it set when they havenāt even practiced?
Have starting positions been promised?
I just hope these dudes have an edge to them and use that to come together.
I love the optimism from the druggie and drunks on here
I am still predicting self has got his hands full with stokes character
Thereās optimism and realism. You can tell the ones on here that are on the good stuff or have extra or missing chromosomes.
I would still take that over this fake excitement over role players.
Mark pope isnāt capable of being at the top of the SEC. This roster and his other ones are just confirming that. As long as heās the coach he will field teams that are around the middle to bottom of the sec and thatās the best weāre going to get with him as our coach. Look at the other rosters in this league, this team isnāt even close to getting UK back to being elite.
Some on here are buying the same hype that was on last years team and theyāre setting themselves up for disappointment. Theirs a reason Pope went 0-14 with top 25 recruits in this 26 class. Thatās not going to work here and itās obvious.

Itās good to pick up a local kid.
Morton is a very low impact player. Didnāt come close to leading a 12ā20 Washington State team in any category. That three-point shooting percentage is on very low volume, and he is not a physical player; very low rebounding totals throughout his college career.
But very low turnovers, older and experienced, and will be glad to be at UK.

Gonna need a major leap from Moreno to crack the top 10 in all likelihood, barring a major signing.
Iām guessing we end up somewhere between Popeās first season and this one, between 16 and 30. Kinda like where his BYU teams end up when they had a decent roster.
Regarding Morton, he played his best against the 5 best opponents on the schedule. His offensive rating was over 135, had a BPM of almost 9, and shot 60% from 3. So that might be encouraging!

Even if he got Stokes, heāll still find a way to go 10-8 in the SEC.
We actually finished tied for 7th with a 9th seed in SEC Tourney.
This team is more talented with 3 point guards and upgrade at the 4.
We return the center & a 7ā1ā backup.
Kam & Hawthorne at the 3 is definitely equal to Chandler with added height & rebounding.
Definitely no Super Stars but a chance at an overachieving Team with a chip on its shoulder.
Reminds me of the Iowa or Iowa State teams this year.
Exactly what you said in the second paragraph. For this team to be āgoodā, Kam, Malachi, Hawthorne will all have to meet or exceed expectations. Any kind of regression, or lack of progression will be detrimental.
Good this year would be somewhere around what Popeās 1st year team did. 4 seedish. However, I expect us to be at or below where we were this last season. Hope I am wrong.
I am optimistic about Diallo and Wilkins making others better on the team. Donāt think we had a guard last year who made others guys better. So thereās that.

I donāt have high expectations with Pope. This team will finish anywhere between 5th-10th place in the conference.
Man oh man some of you guys have room temperature IQās.
Moreno has a chance to become a Ky Legend . Heās not going anywhere but into the record books.
