Remember that after Duke beats us down.
That’s one freaking game that you’re OBSESSED with, get over it. What if they do? What if they DONT. You don’t know but you choose to be a negative Nellie. The world doesn’t end if we lose to duke and improve throughout the year. You gotta let go of your duke lady boner.

the negative people can just root for someone else. I get the negativity yesterday we need to get behind our new coach. Plus someone named red bird claiming to be a kentucky fan how hilarious. Cornbread you'll be wanted in Arkansas, get behind our coach or just cheer for someone else. His results from the past don't matter until he coaches a game here stop all the negativity.

This. All these byu guys in the portal are nice but we absolutely cannot roll that group out vs the sec talent we'll face. With the nil coffers, we absolutely must do better.
Well. The Big 12 was a pretty darn good conf this past year. And has been on the past, but I agree.

Listen BYU made the tournament last year with these dudes... if anyone of them want to sign up for next season lets go.

Obviously a coaching change this late in the process was going to hurt. If we can get some of Popes best BYU players it's cool with me.

And they lost 11 games and lost to Duquesne.

I'm fine with a few but we need to pony up and get some better starting caliber guys. They should start by offering Reed, thiero and z the moon to get them back. That's 3 starters right there IMO and then you bring in a couple of other quality transfers and the byu guys as backups. The one guy woild probably start but he was 6th man last year so idk what he prefers.

How many guys do we have on the roster currently? Going to need to go all Coach Prime in the Portal this off-season to even have a team.

What's there to LOL about? That this kid doesn't have a 45 inch vertical (nevermind that those AAU superstars can't hit the broad side of a barn) and is not hell bent on leaving UK after six months? Let's bring some more guys like this in here and I guarantee you there won't be any more Oaklands and St Petes...

Plus we have an actual coach on the sidelines now, not Mr. Go
And Mr. Runnnnnn!

Glue guy, need a few.
This. We have to have depth and enough to practice. People need to comprehend this. UK is going to get players. We always have. We can now legally buy them. We have the money. We are not going to get stepped over for talent.

Penned this post Jan 2023
Edited to put things in the proper past tense
Also deleted name of our previous coach and refer to him as “our previous coach”

#1 recruiting class! Our previous coach achieved (6) #1 classes during his tenure at UK and had 1 National Championship and 1 runner up finish. What is the goal at UK, win recruiting classes or win games? Our previous coach did not recruit to build a team, he recruited talent and hoped they became a team. I do not expect National Championships every year but do expect to see a fundamentally tough team that strikes fear in the opponent when we take the floor. Fan since 1969 and been to a lot of games and you could always sense the fear of the opposing teams fans and, I am sure, their coaching staff and players. That fear was evident up to 2015 but is now gone!

Hoping the fear factor returns with Coach Pope!
