People on here dogging out a 4 Star commit to UK. We have lost the title of smartest fanbase
No. We’ve lost the title of being able to get 5 stars. This kid may or may not pan out but combine his likely skills (needing time which we don’t have) to our DEFINITE needs and you’ll see it’s more Pope being Pope. And by the way … your posts are NEVER worth a damn.

Someone will be. Williams rated 100-110 range and Wagler 150+. People in the same rankings as Williams turn out to be studs quite often, as a matter of fact most the remaining teams in the NCAA tournament are made up or 3-4 star guys just like Williams. This isn't a hard concept to understand.
It's hard for leadbelly. He got his fake degree from UNC lol

Yeah, Pope is playing for job security next year. He has to win big. We don’t have time for “developmental pieces” especially in the age of the portal and NIL. It’s like some fans are perpetually in 1994.

I just watched Aberdeen play and he looked pretty healthy.

Ohh, wait. You mean to 4th option Lowe that is undersized, poor shooting, poor defender that we don't even want back.

No, a kid we took out of desperation because we can't get anyone better doesn't get me going.
I know you know this and you just try to be a contrarian and I'm not sure who you are after you've changed your name once again, but Aberdeen was never destined to be a point guard here but he did his good job as he could in that role

Neither is your stupid **** my man. Did you make it through the 6th grade? So we cant get 5 Stars...Jasper Johnson was a 5 Star. Quaintance was a 5 Star a year removed. We might land the #1 overall HS player and top pick in next years draft this season. Your Pope hate make you look dumber than most.
You have what, 100 posts? Banned much lol

I like the fact that his dad is a former NBA guy and he trusts Pope enough to send his son our way. Or he could be a father securing his son a nice payday. We will just have to see how it plays out.

Not sure how this gets past folks "most the remaining teams in the NCAA tournament are made up or 3-4 star guys just like Williams" They need quality coaching for sure to make it work but no question teams are winning with these guys.

Cal has a lot of people here trained to fixate on rankings.

They don’t mean anything after the top five or 10.

Quade Greene was a 5 star. SGA was a 4 star. Gerald Fitch was a 3 star. There’s not a ton of difference in 25th and 100th ranked players.

People complaining about this pick up are complaining to hear themselves complain.
Your second line is 100 true. And one thing people are missing today is with how the game has evolved physically and how they allow much more physical play, body type and make up are a much bigger factor than ever before. A solid 3 star guy with a mature physical make up better than lean 4 and even 5's sometimes today. Thats what you're seeing in this tourney. Heard a college coach I met who spent years on NBA staffs mention this recently and it caught my eye.

Aberdeen was a CG and this kid is a true PG. Kind of a non sequitur. Also never mentioned Lowe here, and I don't think anyone knows how good he would have been this season because he was injured. I don't think he'd have been great, but it would've been really nice to have more than one ball handler this year. At the very least, Lowe was far and away the best assist guy. Onceowe went down, we couldnt lob a ster if we were given cheddar biscuits and a bib.

Hell, I'd rather have had Perry this year than rely on JJ or Aberdeen or CC to bring the ball up. I'm not saying MW is the next great UK point guard, but for F sake, he's depth that we've desperately needed AND lacked.

Pope's here another season and he's got his guy who helped put the first class together. At this point, we're just along for the ride no matter how much we justifiably ***** and moan. Might as well see if something sticks.

I don’t get it Rocky is my favorite movie and we’re like an underdog trying to get it back to where we want so I used those memes and got a guy putting me on ignore for it and telling the whole board? Like I did something wrong. I do think we can take guys not ranked as high an beat people just like rocky
