Pope's got his *** kicked for every primary target this side of Jasper Johnson, Moreno and Otega Oweh. There's not one player on this roster that was a primary target besides those three.
Let me guess: You hated the hire and "I was right" is exhilarating for you.

So this team is more likely a 23-26 ranked team

that’s being nice.

Weird lineups

Energy looks good but no cohesiveness on defense. Wide open 3’s

no cutting or movement without the ball

Kind of want a blowout to spark some real changes. Maybe benching Garrison. Maybe AD forces a staffing change in the off season. A blow out here will help force someone's hand.

The other thing is, and not trying to go off the rails.. but did we attract lesser talented players, who maybe didnt care to come here, simply by offering crazy NIL pay days? Like are these just C-level players who said "heck yeah!" for an A-level salary? Because im trying to figure out why we look like were just uninterested
That's exactly what happened, yes. Maybe our two best players are over there in street clothes but that's not really helping at the moment is it?

About 75% of this team were backup options after the primary targets said no to Pope.

I'm already sick of seeing Pope bite his lip and look up at the scoreboard whenever his team is sucking ***.

UK isn’t even competitive against decent teams.
10+ losses coming.

Mitch gonna be looking for another coach again soon.
Do you actually think Mitch would fire Pope if he can win 20 games a year and gets us to the Sweet 16? We’re probably looking at an extension if that happens.

We might drop out of the top 20 next week, this team looks like it doesn’t have what it takes to beat a good team.
This team isn’t top 50 at the moment. That’s failure Purdue Exhibition was exactly that. A practice that nobody cared about.

A total travesty of roster construction. Even if Kentucky spent 15 million on this roster, it looks like a clown show.
We MUST recruit high end talent and develop that talent. We are sucking with our 4 & % star kids. Portal is to fill in gaps, not build an entire squad. If we are paying $22 Million for this team, I would like to sell Pope beach front property in Danville, KY.
