This is like the scenario when someone makes a wish with a genie and the side effects are just crazy. We wanted to get away from Cal's recruiting style, and now we have a coach that went so far the other direction he can't recruit to save his life.
That's fkn funny

Meh. This pales in comparison to Sampson leaving UK at the altar and signing with Virginia. UK basketball survived that, so too shall BBN survive this.
I agree with this. Things have certainly changed since those days but we’ll be back. Unfortunately, Pope isn’t done doing damage yet. Looks like next year will be our all time worst and then we get rid of him and start to rebuild. Gonna be awhile but Kentucky bball WILL be back.

Love the ones pining away for Cal! He quit on Kentucky YEARS before he was finally let go for breaching his contract. What was it that Cal was doing at Kentucky his last several years...losing. Not even trying to win with his highly rated recruiting classes. Losing first round tournament games to nobodies. It was past time for him to go. What's going on with Pope has nothing at all to do with Calapari. I don't know what's going on with Pope, but he has to do great this season, or he's going to be done. But I will be watching every game, just like always and cheering for my Cats to win!

Rather than mouth off on a message board like a chicken ****, do something about it. Picket on campus, get a petition going. This kind of post is too common of this toxic fanbase.

I never wanted to get away from Cal's recruiting style. I just wanted to get away from Cal and his total reliance on freshmen.

Pope sucks
