Pope ain’t playing this weekend
Smith, Mahaney, Oweh, carr, get brea poplar on campus
They need to open up Rupp, pack it again, and have these kids walk though in mass after a few Keenland races.
Bruuuhhhhhhhh…pope going hard in the paint. Let’s go
All the non patient fans is about to see what Pope is all about we will probably have close to a whole roster next week.
Definitely want this big. If we get him and Osobor then three talented experienced bigs ready to go day 1.
I hate to wish time away but I can’t wait til November.
Chris fisher just logged his pick for Oweh…UK
Like I have said in other threads this is the first time in a long time I have wished basketball season here quickly…….
Once Pope gets them here THEY’RE OURS!!!!!
I believe this is his final season of eligibility, right? I like his game and hope we get him, but I'm also really hoping we get some guys with at least a couple years to play still. I would love as much continuity as possible going into year 2, when we can really get this thing rolling. Peja's son (3 years) and Otega Oweh from Oklahoma (2 years) are near the top of my list.
Would be an interesting weekend to be hanging around UK and Keeneland.

This is the guy I want as our stretch 4. Even more than McNeeley. Proven commodity.
That is a little extreme or trying to set Pope up for failure. This roster if handled correctly could take another 2 to 3 weeks to identify the right pieces for the system. Now I think by the end of next week we could potentially be looking at having around 7 players committed.
So if Oweh commits and then all five guys visiting this weekend commit that would make ten. We know that Osobor is here Monday and Brea is going to visit. Going to be running out of room soon it looks like.
I do understand that but it does seem like he’s pretty much pin pointed the players he wants. I could be wrong. I mean counting Saunders we should have 4 already might have another 5-6 by the end of the weekend from the sounds of it. That would be around 9-10 players with only about 3-4 more to add.
Would love to see everyone hit it off and get a group commitment this weekend.
Things getting a little bit out of control for us to keep up with.
Mark Pope be like:
If pope asked us, you know we’d do it again lol
Everyone needs to be patient, Pope isn't just recruiting, he was also busy assembling an amazing coaching staff... now recruiting can get his full attention.
I’m hoping it’s brea, mckneely or poplarUNCW kid
Are these players the top of the portal guys? I’m ready for any commitments at this time!
Another interesting guy, who I think pope would like. Good shooter
Jaylen Wells in PAC-12 conference play:
33.8-mpg
14.6-ppg
4.5-rbpg
1.2-astpg
45.7% fg
43.6% 3-pt (44-101)
86.4% ft
0.6-TOPG (12-turnovers in 675-minutes played)
He is better than brea in my opinion, pope should go all out
He is my new portal crush lol. Smith, poplar/wells, Robinson, Carr, osobar. With Oweh as the 6th man
What’s separate then for me is brea can’t move with ball in his hands like wells can
