I know my friend, but I can't say you've been wrong, but I do think you've been fair and that's more than all these a holes can sayYeah. I have said enough negative tomkast awhile.

I suggest you get behind JQIMO he was able to play for some time before he did, and ONLY did because the noise was getting too loud and the excuses running out. He's been exposed as not being very good, and whether it not it's the reason he's out you can bet his agent has been in his ear about possibly sitting. Probably said something like "the team isn't winning anything anyway".
I think he came back when the training staff thought it was ok. I do think he’s good but very raw offensively. I also think he’s probably about 75% healthy and not in great game shape. The last part you write about the agent in his ear probably has merit. With NIL, college sports are full fledged professional leagues now.IMO he was able to play for some time before he did, and ONLY did because the noise was getting too loud and the excuses running out.

I do too I thought he could turn around, but I don't think he can.She definitely wants pope to stay
He should’ve stayed out West honestly. In the SEC he has to go up against other grown men every night.Despite the issues, he did well last year. I’ve never seen such a drop-off in my life. Well, 2020 to 2021 Calipari but that’s probably the only other time.
I hope he’s gone after the seasonI do too I thought he could turn around, but I don't think he can.
Yes he does.Whether JQ is hurt or not, he doesn't have the hops he had before his injury. And when your not a scorer, and are here for blocked shots and rebounds, it don't look good for us. No wonder Pope is a mess.
I find it comical that some on here will defend Pope to no end but are:It’s too early to draw all the conclusions. It could easily be the flu. Gotta chill for a bit
In the last game thread I made mention of the way he was moving around. Dude is trying to not get hurt, and like you said, he probably still is.I think he came back when the training staff thought it was ok. I do think he’s good but very raw offensively. I also think he’s probably about 75% healthy and not in great game shape. The last part you write about the agent in his ear probably has merit.

cOnTaCtYes he does.
You should see him in pregame warmups.
He has plenty of hops, but NO I don’t see him getting up there in games.
Since my "if" wasn't big enough for you the last time, here's one.I find it comical that some on here will defend Pope to no end but are:
-very quick to say they want a player gone based on speculation that he quit
-blame NIL as holding recruiting back but then want a guy gone for actually performing his NIL contract duties because of bad timing
Reported knee swelling but yeah kick him off the team.If he wants to sit and wait it out for the draft, then GET THE **** AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM.
If he’s quit we might see mark Fox coach the team. At some point pope is gonna crackIf JQ has quit, I don’t know that Pope survives as coach. This is shaping up to be the worst UK season outside of COVID years in decades.
"bad timing" is the excuse Cal huggers used to defend his little primadonna's. What exactly are JQ's "contract duties"?I find it comical that some on here will defend Pope to no end but are:

Knee swelling. Ffs Kid came back very quick but yeah hes a primadonna"bad timing" is the excuse Cal huggers used to defend his little primadonna's. What exactly are JQ's "contract duties"?
You're being obtuse at this point. Go back and read my post. Not doing this back and forth with you.Reported knee swelling but yeah kick him off the team.
You are being hypocriticalYou're being obtuse at this point. Go back and read my post. Not doing this back and forth with you.
Yes he does.

May explain the lack of explosiveness over the last few games thenReported knee swelling but yeah kick him off the team.
Yeah and We have fans calling players primadonnas.May explain the lack of explosiveness over the last few games then
Given how quick he came back hopefully just needs to rest it.This is a sad development . Pope didnt mention it in his press conference. I am assuming something happened at the practice after the press conference .
Hopefully nothing bad and just a minor injury. Get better soon and come back stronger JQ!
Yeah. I thought it may be Mock Drafticitus too. Feels like everything is going to Hades and you got Pilgrim on KSR teasing an “opt-out”, then the tweet didn’t have a reason he was listed as “OUT”. I think it’s easy to see why the connection would be made. Hope JQ comes back but who knows?Yeah and We have fans calling players primadonnas.
That's kinda what I was thinking too.So he's hurt right after his dad and "camp" have been unhappy with Pope? Lol, ok. And Pilgrim did say a mid-season opt out wasn't off the table.
Same dude who by taking a quote way out of context implied Pope was contemplating suicide. Pilgrim is unethical.Yeah. I thought it may be Mock Drafticitus too.

Love Pilgrim but I agree. Not a good day for the JP fan club.Same dude who by taking a quote way out of context implied Pope was conte suicide. Pilgrim is unethical.
We were up 8. Get stops and it’s over. As it turned out, we didn’t get stops or execute on offense. Hack-a-Quaintance would have worked out better I think.They would have played hack-a-Quaintance. Thats why be wasnt out there. We win that game if he’s out there.
If he opts out, Pope better have a lot of naysayers blowing kisses if tells the media that's what happened.So he's hurt right after his dad and "camp" have been unhappy with Pope? Lol, ok. And Pilgrim did say a mid-season opt out wasn't off the table.
I just had this exact thought. Tell them "if you're not ready to play for the name on the FRONT of the jersey and show the nation just how good we can be, then you're free to go". And anyone who opts out, put it out there for quitting.Pope needs to have 1 on 1s with every player, look them in the eye and find who is fully bought in or not. Play Reece Potter and Braydon Hawthorne if you can’t find enough bodies that still want it. I’m sick of the shenanigans.
Hire a ****** coach, get ****** results.Feel like punching a hole through a wall. What did we do to deserve this year, man!?
We dealt with this **** with Cal, A LOT.Yeah id say hes probably done. And he very well be hurt enough to truly miss this game, but theyre also just going to shut him down. If youre him or his camp, why rush back for this team and coach?
Why? So he can “grieve” for the players that aren’t playing? So he can spew more word salad on them? Dude is clueless.Pope needs to have 1 on 1s with every player, look them in the eye and find who is fully bought in or not. Play Reece Potter and Braydon Hawthorne if you can’t find enough bodies that still want it. I’m sick of the shenanigans.
