Every team who makes the tournament finishes the season with a loss. Except 1.
If you're intent on being sad, there will always be a reason.

Hold up there buddy. Did you see me saying I don’t see any reason to add him? Go check, I’ll wait
lol. I’ll assure you of two things. Number 1 I am the least agenda driven person here. I literally have NO agenda. Number 2, I have never in my life looked up a players highlights on YouTube. What a complete waste of time.Are you disabled and not able to type his name in a YouTube search bar??? You likely have already looked up his highlights and stats but you have an agenda to push and those mean UK coaches just keep tinkering with your fragile little feelings don’t they?
So I posed the question about how good this kid because I literally had never heard of him. So it. Seems I have my answer, we brought him here for depth. That’s cool. We need backups.
But we brought out the Daffy Duck gif for a backup. We have to do better in this area.
That was my only point

I think I remember seeing where UK Trustees told Mitch he could not (NOT) go after Bruce Pearl, Nate Oats and a few other coaches. I still see on here people saying I wanted Oats. SO you wanted Oats, people that control UK said no you cannot have Oats. Not sure this is hard to understand. NATE OATS never was offered the job. Nate Oats made his public statement like he had a shot. He did that to try to get more $$$ out of Bama.
Number 3: Stop asking other people for assessments on players when all those people have to go off of are highlights and stats. None of us are professional talent evaluators, therefore, you aren’t gonna get a super informative breakdown.
You know that though, but you choose to still ask for what reason other than to argue or troll?
Great pickup! Welcome aboard Ansley!! Scored 20 vs Illinois & 24 against Seton Hall last year. Can do it against better competition than just in the Northeast Conference!
Pope said he'd be recuiting top talent but given the circumstances and short time...he's already done it but I think he means younger players after this season and beyond. NIL is new to us all. This year's team will certainly leave room and time to recruit 5 stars, if that's what he wants to do for the next season. Personally, I give Pope a solid A so far. If he can land a guy that can drive the basket past his defender in the SEC, I gotta give him an A+. I do think we still need that guy. Pope's offense is based on, you can't run as fast as I can pass, kinda mentality and it's just truth, if done right. But there are gonna be times when we have to have that guy that we know can get to the rim....or at least has a great floater. It just changes the way other teams have to defend us. Interior passing will be huge too. Good passers and interior guys with great hands and good foot work is what will work in this system. I think we have most of that.
That makes sense then, it tries to replicate talent which we had in spades leaving. It’s not just a ranking based on quality of players coming in. So that makes me think our class is more toward the top 5 of the other ranking, especially with so many transfers coming in.
One of Almonor's former coach said that he is a 'juggarnaut shooter and him and Brea together will make us very dangerous.'
Agree with the concern
I think, though, that was mostly circumstances
CMP had a very short time to build a roster. He’s not had time to build relationships with freshmen recruits. Even more he hasn’t had time to show what kinds of teams he will put on the floor that will make it attractive for portal players with more than one year of eligibility to check us out.
That being said, we do have a few guys who will still be here 25-26 season to help get it all rolling
Dude I think as a whole were so exited about all the changes that any good news brings out daffy. Yeah it’s probably overkill in this case but hey, no real harm right?
I only hope no one goes blind
Of course there's no harm in it. But I'm afraid we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Yes, change is exciting but we can't be out here wacking it to a soft 6. We are still Kentucky and if we are to remain kentucky then we can't let our standards slip.
Pope, go get me a hard 8 so me and Daffy can light a candle and turn down the lights.
Almonor's former coach and current Iona coach called him the smartest player he's ever coached. Love to hear that. BBIQ covers up other limitations when you are a role player.
He’s going to play a backup role on our team compared to being their star. I’m happy to have him.
I know that going blind thing is a myth because I was able to see your post.
I agree, overall very happy with the roster in such a short time. If all players with additional eligibility come back, we’ll have 5 returners as of now. Not bad, not great.
Noah, Perry, Chandler, Oweh, Garrison. Probably 2-3 starters in that group.
If you haven't read the interview with Almonor on On3 you should. The guy is all in on helping us win number 9. Talking about how Pope does not promise players minutes and how he is going to come here and work his butt off for this program and this state. And how Kentucky is the highest of the highest college basketball program.
