Burks, Thiero, Z

[chroix]

There are not many times in your life when you will get a chance to prove yourself worthy of starting/competing for minutes and not have to go somewhere else to do it.

This is the rarest of moments where the road to redemption is also the path of least resistance. Seize the moment and do, what is for all practical purposes, absolutely nothing different and still be a hero… or get lost on a bench in the hell swamp known as Arkansas.

I doubt they read this board.

And Thiero and Burks aren't going to Arkansas if they leave either.

Definitely a chance for Thiero and Burke. No clue what Z is looking for, but Popes style is custom made for him. Hope he see that…

I think Burks is the only exiting player to return and Perry the only recruit to stay committed.

Pope will have to completely build a roster from scratch via the transfer portal or bringing some BYU recruits.

I'd be thrilled but I expect them all to leave. If we keep any, I'd call it a win.

I don’t know why yall are getting your hopes up for Adou. As soon as Kal left he posted a pic of him driving on the highway with the emoji. Then a few days later he mentioned that being harassed is part of why he left.

Personally I think he’s extremely soft if he thinks he was “harassed.” He was well liked and didn’t get even 5% of the criticism that some here get.

In Pope I trust….

He is one of this boards chosen ones and rarely got any criticism during his time here. So I definitely don't get the harassed part.

Get those 3 to stick around and it’s a great starting point!

5% of too much can still be way too much.

What does harassed mean? If he's talking about too much fan attention then UK is not the place for him, it comes with the territory.

We shall see. I know one thing. At this point Pope has lots and lots of PT to promise to players.

Burks, theiro don’t really fit popes system

Hard to say. For one, Cal played Burks out of position. He came out of HS as big SF who could hit an open shot and I think Theiro fits well. While his shot from deep is suspect, he is an excellent athlete who can pass well and attack

Be prepared to be in the best shape of your life. Be prepared to work, work. And more work with winning as your reward.

Great. Maybe one of their parents does. Maybe somebody in the media does. Who knows. One thing is for sure though. I’m positive your contribution does absolutely nothing for anybody other than you.

He wasnt at the intro yesterday think that means hes going in the portal forsure

To say Theiro couldn’t play in Popes system is laughable.
