What are the guys waiting on. I hate to see hustle guys like Dioubate leave but, he really didn’t fit the offense. I only see Moreno,Kam,,Jasper,Chandler as fits and depending who we add only Moreno,Kam as starters. Jasper/Colin as guards 3&4. If we sign Stokes then Kam goes to the bench. Stokes is a 3. We need a big stretch 4 who can shoot and play defense. Jelly and Moreno cannot be on the floor at the same time.

They can enter now but, can’t commit until then. Lowe already announced.

Jasper needs two years in the weight room and someone to coach him up with his ball handling. He's a EKU player at best right now.

Some are waiting to see how things shake, reportedly. If Stokes comes, the money situation is different than if Stokes does not. This from KSR personalities.

I’d move on if he’s not ready by the time the portal opens. We missed on players last year by waiting.
Pope missed on players last year because he had/ has no history of signing or developing star players, and that’s why when it’s all said and done this offseason, UK will be just a collection of mid major hired guns, that Pope will go nowhere with.

When did Dioubate announce for the portal?

Edited: OP makes stuff up

Did not Pope sign Uweh, and turn an 8.5 point a game scorer at Oklahoma into the sec player of the year ? Oh wait I forgot that does not fit your criteria that Pope can't coach. I said it before and I will say it again, you run Pope off and you will never get a good coach again. What coach would want to come here and put up with all the crap that Pope has had to put up with ?

Pope is running himself off. :rolleyes: And a “good coach” knows Pope is a mid-major(at best) disaster that NEVER should have gotten the job.

If you win enough, you don't get a lot of crap. When you're setting the wrong records for losing, then the fans have every right to voice their displeasure.

UK is lucky that in this day and age of organized protests, that one hasn't been formed in front of the UK Athletics office.

That should not be how this goes. Whether or not Stokes comes, these bums need to all take paycuts and get proper market value for the level of player they are.

Calm down! I assure you we're going to clean up in the portal and get Stokes. This team will be a preseason top 5 next year. Trust the process

Some of you all are too worried. We already have NBA All star talent on this team. Do you all not know who MO WILLIAMS IS????????? NBA champion, SEC POTY is a cat and you all are worried. Not to mention another college champion in mark pope. What other talent do we need?
