I still don't think JQ will play a second here. We'll hear all year how close he is.
My thoughts exactly. There will be a slight setback of some kind over the next few weeks. Almost feels like cal never left from the injury Angle.

Mormons I dealt with were Smile to your face, knife in the back, stone cold killer businessmen.
Which I have no problem with.
That’s true. They are. I was speaking more to your small town believer.

No issue with them, Galatians 1:6-9 explains what they’re really worshipping, but that’s another talk for another place.

How can he brag about JMI and we're losing every recruit we've offered? I'm lost for words!
When they guys here have basically said we have not shot for the “locks” we were after because of the deal, this is hollow words trying to protect his stupid *** boss who made that deal. What a moron.

Pope can't exactly go out and trash the JMI deal publicly. It's not like he has a lot of options but to act like it's a positive for the team, no matter what he thinks behind closed doors.
I would trash the hell out of it, if it was costing me every player I go after. It’s going to help cost him his job.

It won’t even matter! If JQ does play, the first game, or even half game, he doesn’t play like a lottery pick, he’s done for, and Pope will cover for him.

So frustrating that Pope has that shtick about him, and it’s so blatantly obvious. I knew the NIL era was either going to make or break UK MCBB, and it appears the powers that be have chosen the break route.
We should be dominating in this era. Only a group of morons could screw this up.

Pope, Barnhart, and Capilouto all have to go YESTERDAY. The nuclear option. It’s the only way to be sure.

I’m still just disgusted at marks comments. Straight up gaslighting this fanbase because he still thinks we’re all following. He’s not realizing yet we aren’t.

To come and say the JMI deal and Mitch are great is the worst things he could have said. Just shut up damn. I thought you loved the program? Well Mitch is responsible for ZERO championships and 2 disastrous hires is basketball Mark, so how do you reconcile that? No, you need him there because you give him control and in return he pays you a crazy salary and allows you to coach Kentucky win or lose.

I’m sorry I like Mark I do but I’m already done listening to him and want no more of this. Lose this game it’s a wrap, get through the year and fire him and Mitch. Both.

Yes he will. He deserves the opportunity to turn things around. Billy Clyde finished his second year, and he drove drunk and chased coeds.
Now, grow a sack and get an actual name/avatar. Your ANON crap just screams troll.
Clyde could actually coach though. Guarantee he’d take this roster and have them more competitive. Sure as hell wouldn’t be as soft as they are.

Trashing it publicly could cost him his job too. While it may be warranted, it’s not the smart thing to do if he’s looking out for his bank account. There are things you can knock Pope on. Not publicly trashing JMI isn’t one of them.

Yeah I understand why for real. That said I hope privately him and the staff are ripping MB like they should for this awful deal. Same for the FB coach.

The JMI deal is basically any recruit can sign with anyone but can’t put the UK logo on just anything they endorse. The reason agents hate it they wanted to use the UK logo for free now it must go through JMI. Anyone who think this is rare try and sell t shirts with Notre Dame, any Big Ten School or SEC school logo without permission.

So I just finished listening to Popes pregame for the IU game tom. First off, more of the same ***** talk of JQ looks great but just crossed over half court with the team in practice for the FIRST time yesterday. In other words, we’re still probably 4-6 weeks from actual game time. Mo is still bc c
January for JQ brother . Quit listening to these regularly idiotic posts here.

Doubt you'll hear it after today. :LOL: We've heard about how he won't play this year enough to make one's ears bleed.

Go JQ !!

But it’s not. JMI as bogeyman is a Matt jones creation.

Our recruiting problems, real or perceived, are not because of JMI

Pope should be letting everyone know that JMI is screwing us, and it’s not his fault.

He probably is counting on the JMI contract to give him cover and possible another year or two (after it’s fixed).

Uh ok? Where did I post this as fact? That was my opinion. Props to him and his family for not shutting it down.

According to recruiting experts the fact is that JMI is the problem. I will take their word over yours about matters they have real contacts on.
