Pope had his hands tied recruiting. His recruits had to agree to BYU religious standards. His hands are untied at UK. It was remarkable that he had winning seasons at BYU.
Imagine trying to cart a team to the NCAA championship game with a horse and buggy. Now imagine packing everyone into a bus.
The resources, expectations, exposure, and more are all significantly greater at UK. Steel sharpens steel.
i think Mercer also played there
These kinds of people are hard to convince. Wish they would follow Cal out of here.
Everyone has a right to their name, image, and likeness. That's the point: the NCAA can't take that away from people.
Dontworry23, I was responding to you about the clown that asked why does Pope get a pass. I was not picking on you. Just to clarify.
Of course they can get NIL money, they can also sell their autographs, shirts and commercials like everyone else. You can’t tell anyone no anymore or else. lol. Good for us in this situation I suppose but not great for the country probably. Anyway the answer is yes they can get everything except the scholarship. They still eat and live with the team as well so yeah not a bad idea in my opinion if they’re tight. It’s going to be hard for anyone in the country to keep 13 kids happy anyway so we may see more redshirts in the future. No need to waste a kids season if he has potential in my opinion. Like Nova used to with Jay. Had a football team and they just come in the next year and take off.
You could be right but I’ve heard some good talk about Lainer from some in the know, just have to be patient. lol. I honestly don’t know about Robinson, he really seems all in for the draft. I mean I’d like to have him but with the roster we have I just don’t see a big leap or anything like with Lanier. I really would like to get him and hope we’re still going in on him hard. He could help I think. Not that Robinson couldn’t, I just see his spot with enough good guys. I do like Poplar to but looks like we are waiting for those two first. I really don’t think anyone has a clue until it’s actually put out. I sure don’t. Haha. Thanks
This kid reminds me dozens of UK players from the past that came and developed and were big contributors to great teams.
The kid went toe-to-toe with this year's Player of the Year and did ok. Better than ok. Good. Very good. I just wonder about the kinds of validation people require.
There are no sure things. No "I Win" buttons to push. And no amount of anxiety from the fans helps. No # of wins will give validation. [stage whisper] it's a game.

Not doubting you whatsoever, but who are you referring to and what are the details of this game? Thanks in advance.
I feel like you can see his potential in the videos. Bulk him up and teach him the system. It seems like he has a nice touch on his jumper and some athleticism.
I have no idea of his skills or potential. But that play where an offensive player took a shot that clanged on the rim made it look like the videos were against a no talent team. I would say the assessment has to take into consideration as to what Vinson's goals are in the long-term. If he is coming here knowing it is going to be several year commitment to develop than it might make sense. If he expects to be like the Cal recruits then pass.
Not speaking for Dreadlox since he does that well but for to satisfy your curiosity quicker he was on the FDU team that made Purdue the 2nd #1 seed to lose in the first round. Of course he was talking about Edey as the player of the year.
I thought he was talking about Vinson.
Oh, maybe I'm mixed up. I'm thinking Vinson is a high school senior and he might have played a high school poy. It just sounded to me like talk about the FDU kid and I guess I got my threads mixed up.
Uh Pope has a ship.... Say when say what but he KNOWS what he has to do to get there. Player or coach, Pope knows,!
That DO count...
Brother, i just finished off a Yuengling Pilsner, going for a Yuengling Black & Tan, after that may have a Yuengling Lager... AND going to watch a John Wayne movie, haven't decided which one. I have over a hundred of his though... Jut a couple clicks and I am rocking....
I hear ya. I would never meet anyone from off the internet though. Especially from here, lol.
I've met five or six people from here over the years. Have developed some good friends. Talked on the phone with them, even done some business with three people, maybe four.
Yeah, there sure are some ****** though.
I'd share the first beer, more if they were decent people... (Had a beer with one guy once. Seemed okay but I may have looked seedy to him.)
lol. You’re more trusting than me. Too many people looking to lay traps to find out who people are so they can tell the other people they are whispering to. Not a chance. Have a great night.
Byu is a niche school and I’m not at all surprised. If you’re Mormon and you’re good byu is where you go.
