Full interview, after one year at Kentucky. I love our coach !
Good stuff:
*He praised BBN on his presentation a year ago, how he used the images from Rupp arena to recruit his first year team.
*He mentioned on how the presser after the loss on SS, Carr, Brea , Butler, and Amari were trying to recruit to Kentucky portal players , saying what a great and unique experience it is to play for BBN.
He mentioned the last year 12 scholarships, injuries, physicality of of SEC not only on the glass, but also on impeding the speed of the game by allowing grabbing, holding, would influence the number and type of players we are getting this year.
*Brandon Garrison on a two years plan when he got recruited , special relationship with Amari, who mentored him. Brandon has been instrumental on building the depth of the front court for this year. He hopes that Brandon will be mentoring the new guys, he works hard and has big plans for the incoming year.

That was a great watch...... I love our coach too and I love the old school jacket that he always sports around. He really does have so much love for the University of Kentucky just like all of us fans! The program really is in good hands with him!
On same topic, one year of Mark Pope, KSR special, pretty good stuff:
Turning point in our defense after the game at Ole Miss, where apparently Pope broke furniture, cut himself and come with blood on his hand, pants and sweater. After that Kentucky was a top 15 defensive team. I missed that episode and I watched all press conferences. Good insight by KSR.
First team, under Mark Pope a great foundation for the years to come.

I think it means that Brandon wants to play in nba. If that happens that means he will have a great second year. It make sense, first starting shooting the 3 , trained with big body of Amari every day, now this year he should be the man.
YES !! He DEFINITELY needs to show significant improvement in his third year of college. Other than shooting forty (40) threes last year, after not attempting a single one at Oklahoma State, I do not see much statistical improvement over his Freshman season. With NBA dreams in mind, he REALLY needs to have a step-up in productivity and consistency this season. Hopefully, he will and our team will be much better as a result.
Check out the comparison of his first two (2) season, especially the PER 40 numbers:

He needs to rebound and defend significant better and improves a lot in 3pt shooting to be even a second rounder or two-way contract playerHe DEFINITELY needs to show significant improvement in his third year of college.

What a fun year! Will always remember Pope’s first year very fondly.
I thought BG was our best frontcourt defender. There were games that set the tone for us with his blocks and energy.
Done a LOT of athlete/coach interview in my time Great job by the interviewer. It's not as easy as it seems to get actual answers.
