Mitchell commits to UK

[BBN9]

Sadly we all need to exercise caution here. He may still be ruled ineligible in the end.

I’ll have a wait and see attitude, His ISO game runs contrary to Popes offense

His defense and rebounding are questionable too

And here they are folks. THOSE guys. Smh

 

[Bugs092056]

Pope is going for it

 

[Runt#1969]

He who BOOMS last, Booms best

 

[KOF98]

Remember when everyone wanted Donnie Freeman? Good times.

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Honestly I have been critical of Pope alot but convincing Mitchell to sign on as our 6th man is impressive as heck

 

[CatinIL]

Good news for the CATS.

 

[UKgrad22]

Remember when everyone wanted Donnie Freeman? Good times.

Or when people freaked out over losing Collin Chandler lol

 

[MachineHead]

No excuses this season. As long as everyone is healthy, we need to win the SEC and make the FF, at least!

Florida might have something to say about that. They are really, really, really good.

 

[BBN9]

Florida might have something to say about that. They are really, really, really good.

So we should just roll over and give up since Florida is really, really, really good?

 

[senonesy]

Pope is the guy for this job. Never a doubt in my mind.

 

[ukfan042]

LFG!!

 

[DudahUK]

UK has the number 2, 6, 29, & 47 ranked transfers incoming. Our top outgoing transfer is Chandler at #48.

Leapfrogged the Cards. You just hate to see it!

Numero uno in every category is where UK rightfully belongs.

Yeah and his name is constantly brought up amongst those that Pope "whiffed on". Freeman gets injured the second he rolls out of bed. He’s never played a full season and the same guys yelling "WHIFF" are the same ones that accused Pope of overpaying for players last year. In o5der to get Freeman, Pope would have had to pay more than he's worth. Now look at him, he’s out for the season.

It was a good miss, but still a miss nonetheless.

 

[yoshukai]

ukbb4ever is having a TERRIBLE night ,lol .

 

[kyjeff1]

Is it a miss if Pope told him "no, this is our offer, you aren't worth more than that"?

Same with Rob Wright. Like everyone else, he has a top end value and Pope got crushed for overpaying last year. He can’t do the same thing this year. Wright was just checking to see if he could get a bigger bag, Pope did the right thing with him and Feeeman.

Anyone that payed for Freeman's services, is a fool, the guy will never finish a season, he’s too injury prone and his value isn’t what he thinks it is. He fooled Rick though, good for him.

What will be this team’s ranking before our first game? I’ve seen some polls with us around #20-25. I’ll guess 15 with Mitchell?
The key is still Zoom for me. If he proves to be a Kentucky-caliber PG, we have a chance at a title.
I also like this lineup
Zoom
Momcilovic
Mitchell
N’Daiye or McBride
Moreno

1 guard 3 pf and a center
Awful lineup

Zoom, wilkins, Mitchell and momcilovic are starting
I don't know how u can play milan at the 3 and be any good at all.

 

[#1 cat fan]

Let’s go baby!! Number nine a real possibility next year

Wish there center Shawn Philips had came with him. He and Mitchell dunked all over Moreno in sec tournament. Mitchell is one of the better scoring 4s I've seen in a long time. Has game from everywhere

Not So Fast Everyone..................................................................................................... Slow down and enjoy this one.

Ahhhhhhhh......this feels gooooooood.

"So it is written" "let it be done"

 

[Mdnerd]

And here they are folks. THOSE guys. Smh

You've got me confused. Im not negative on anything with this coach and team. Its just a simple fact the legal battle is far from over on this case.

 

[WallMash]

Things to like:
our SF and PF are our best 3 point threats so that could stretch the floor for zoom and Alex to drive.
We have lots of fouls to give at the 4 and 5.
We will score buckets.

Things to bring back to earth:
Mom and Moreno and Mitchell are not elite defenders/rebounders

So we have to out score teams.

 

[UK4Life#9]

The Louisville fans that hide behind a UK username are not happy right now!

 

[NociHTTP]

This should be an elite team. We obviously spent ridiculous amounts of money(we should every year as a top 2 biggest brand in the sport), and Pope clearly made some good moves this off-season. Huge step in the right direction. If you aren't excited about this team, then I don't know what you want.

Now we MUST win big this year. I don't want to hear a single excuse, just win!

We should? Look, we have an elite team but NO team in collegiate sports should be spending any more money on elite student-athletes than the scholarship. In the current landscape, one that's doomed to fail, we should spend money. Not everyone has lost their marbles.

 

[NociHTTP]

Or when people freaked out over losing Collin Chandler lol

I do wonder if Colin's had a change of heart (regardless of what his girl says) now that the roster is elite, or was BYU always on his mind?

 

[Anon1739778738]

Here to happily get a big serving of crow with Buffalo sauce. I didn't believe Pope could do it and he absolutely pulled it off. Let's go win 9.

 

[jeffky]

Mark mitchell had a dream and he fulfilled it last night

 

[HalHR2500]

I don't want the selfish MF'er personally

What are you talking about? He was one of the best passers on the team and was a total team player. Your memory seems to be faulty.

Saw this on a Mizzou message board, mixed reviews on Mitchell.

 

[BlueWorldOrder]

 

[Beatle Bum]

I preferred Kohler, but I want the guy who really wants to be at UK and is not scared off by a huge fan base that includes a percentage of idiots.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

We’re back! Kentucky, is back!

Stokes, Kinney, and KU… You’re on notice!

I’d really love to beat the brakes off of them.

 

[JRowland]

Yes, it's on the premium side (fair warning!) but spoke with Kyle McAreavy of Mizzou Today and he had some great insight to share in terms of what kind of teammate Mitchell was with the Tigers, how he handled coaching, etc.

It’s called timing bro’. This is a celebratory thread on Mitchell committing and you come in raining on the parade with some **** everybody’s already aware of.

You're sure pissed off about it for someone who was so aware.

Now that's an image. An image I never wanted to have.

 

[FilsonCat]

This is why Mitchell is such a huge get for us. He's not going to be running ISO every play, but it is an option when we need it down low.
