I like that Pope is tall enough to gauge any of them.

I hate that stoops isn’t even as tall as women sideline reporters.

Not sure why that bothers me.

President Trump approves of Aberdeen as well. Gave him a shout out on Florida's trip to the White House. Also, Aberdeen did not do the Gator Chomp like his teammates.

Coach can sell the soap AND I LOVE IT.

If you have not watched the interview, I would implore you to watch it. Pope and Matt have a great rapport. Regardless of what you think of Matt, he did a great job with the interview. Pope is just an awesome interview. He makes it easy on the interviewer

You like tall guys, it’s ok. Everyone has a preference.

Pope could make me think I was an AA! Seriously awesome praise. I’m so looking forward to this team. I love hearing the respect he has for Jasper and his scoring ability, the fact Mo D is nasty out of ball screens is a great sign for us considering we have about 50 different offensive looks from ball screens. Aberdeen is gonna be a star, Jelavic, Lowe at point, Reese Potter as an end of bench big is ridiculous FR. Moreno is gonna be a stud. I can’t wait to get it started. Not even considering guys like Chandler, Oweh, and Mountain Mamba who are ready for their next step. If Kam Williams is that good idk how we play all these guys but what a problem to have.

That was cool of Aberdeen, I know it’s a tough spot to be in. He spent his whole career there and was celebrating his title, I couldn’t blame him if he did.

I'm really liking this roster. I'm trying not to get too hyped up over it.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Awesome put together dude great work and time you put in on it much appreciated

 

[Drcats2025]

That’s some good stuff. It can’t be over stated enough; Mark Pope was the man for the job. Hope everyone really enjoys this run.

His reign so far has been so refreshing, I hope he crushes it so it doesn’t end anytime soon. I don’t want him to ever be thought of as a failure here. He’s just too perfect overall.

Mark Pope has elite sincerity and generosity.
He’s going to do big things here.

If Hawthorne really ends up 7 feet tall he could become AD-lite

... Stoops may not be as tall as the sideline women reporters but horizontally, he's crushin' it.

Agreed. We might need a count-down clock pinned to the top of Rafters. Can't wait.

You’re just like Randy Newman

 

[jrpross_rivals]

I really love the team Pope was able to put together. They are so well-rounded and experienced.

 

[Ash Williams]

It struck me that we have a really tall team.

Pope must have gotten tired of always looking down at his players.

Yep . Has been for years. People that know….know.

I must have missed a whole conversation on Reece Potter. I didn’t even remember he signed on.

The great thing about Pope is that we don't ever have to worry about him flirting with NBA jobs, much less with other schools. With Pitino there were always NBA rumors at the end of every season and with Cal it was NBA and some schools (UCLA) early on but with Pope Kentucky is truly the best basketball job on the planet.
