The simple truth is that Mark Pope and his staff are the ones who evaluate these players to determine whether they are the correct fit, assess value, etc prior to them coming and playing basketball here. So you distrusting Pope in which players to land is foolhardy.
All you do is make wrong assumptions. That's a straw man. I never said I distrust Pope to chose what players to land. I said that he's not the one paying for them. It was pretty clear if you have any reading comprehension skills at all, but you do call yourself an idiot so really I shouldn't be shocked that you don't. Anyway this is the last time I'm replying to you.

Awww man. Just so you know, I did the exact same thing to you that you did to BassProCat. Wait until you reread both messages and see what happened. Maybe you will get it, maybe you won’t. 👍

If you honestly think that Mark Pope doesn’t want to succeed at the highest levels at UK, then you should go sit in a corner and pound yourself in the scrotum with a rubber mallet instead of saying anything. It would be more productive.

If you honestly think that's what I said then you need to read more books. A lot of them.

Damn ok then obviously way more kids to enter but didn’t know he was this good.

Hoping the one of the 2 SEC schools is UK

Maybe I need to be educated because I just don’t see it with this guy. Of course there also aren’t many guys in the portal yet.

The only kid I’m really really wanting super bad is the Braden smith from Purdue. But apparently no one knows if he is actually going into the portal or if KY would even be in the mix. But the internet has me going from 6 to midnight just thinking about it. Boing!
He's got to be crazy expensive. He's an All American.

Brother not being rude here or trying to be but honest question, this board is filled with KY diehard fans that like to feel good about the future, literally all you do is come on here to bring many people down, I am not doubting your knowledge of things, that said I am a of the belief Pope will get the right players and win here at a high level consistently, but you seem to come on here and literally deliver negative response to any positive thread. Why do you come on here to constantly go in this direction?

Because people deserve to be told the hard truth no matter how uncomfortable it makes them. Do you think I enjoy doing it? I don't. I really don't. But the burden of knowledge is the duty to share it with others that may not possess it yet. It's not comfortable. It's not supposed to be.

Does it matter if we don’t want to hear it anymore? From what I understand from your posts. You don’t believe UK basketball has the support and NIL funding to compete at the highest level. Is this the root of your disenchantment with the program?

The root of the disenchantment is that he is an Arkansas fan that comes here to be a dick. Pretty simple actually.

That’s a great example, however you had to
go back 39 years to get a great example.
There are plenty of others I.e. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving etc. Generally I share your sentiment about injuries but I’d hate to rule out a talent like Hopkins if he is expected to return to form. Sounds like a moot point anyway as he isn’t going to UK.

It’s your opinion get it but I don’t agree with many posts but I also don’t respond negatively to each just let it go no biggie

The challenge for Butters is to make a positive post occasionally. Maybe folks would lighten up if you added something on the plus side instead of being negative Nancy all the time.

So he’s been here since 2011 . I’m guessing he’s just a Calipari fan that is disgruntled that Cal failed here .

Well he’s definitely not a UK fan anymore. Weird to keep posting on this site .


Do you guys not remember last May-June he started showing up , he had a very low post count so it’s one of those accounts they had for a long time but decided to pull out last year to try and make everyone think UK is doomed . Hes a troll , rival fan for sure
