Dude, Mahaney is more on the lines of a PG/Combo and Brea is a catch-and-shoot 6'6" wing. They are NOT similar!
You said missing on Lanier wasn't a big loss because we get Robinson. But keep moving the goal posts.
Like it's your f'ng money. Sit down.
In terms of the level of player they are. Not the type of way they play. In terms of the level they are at.
And has it happened yet? Your panicking and doom and glooming before the **** actually happens.
I just love it when the brainiacs on here project a team nobody has ever seen play is an NCAA team or an NIT team. You have absolutely no way of even guessing how this team will preform, none, zero. I will be SO glad when the brain fog of Cal NBA sudstation for STARS, wears off on our fan base.
Remind me what IS Pope's record as UK coach anyway.
About what, I’m saying they got somebody who is at a level similar to Mahaney. I know they don’t play the same positions.
I’m just glad Cal is gone.
If he was still here we would be debating which of the 8 guys we have would be joining Wagner in the starting five this season and cussing about Cal not even signing enough guys to scrimmage 5 v 5.
Be thankful for what we have and quit focusing on what we missed out on.

Calling the first two misses is like saying I'm missing on all the 20k Vegas call girls because I'm not reaching for the American Express card.Davis
Osobor
Mahaney
Lanier
Robinson
A guy going pro is also reaching for sour grapes to me.
Lanier is a strike out but I give credit for getting in the mix from way outside too, he had to make the effort.
Mahaney, I don't think got beyond the "call me" stage but chalk it however you want but I'm not getting into my feelings about the kid signing for the back to back champs.
Pope is not some household name and came from way behind on any relationships with many of these guys and is going to have to build those bridges and polish his brand, I don't know what else could reasonably be anticipated when he was hired.
I think he has assembled a good team in little time, of course there is a desire or even need to find a guy that can score and create out of structure but otherwise I don't get the lack of appreciation for the pieces we do have and calling them a bunch of sophomore Allen Edwards is pure salt.
I'm thrilled Cal is gone but that doesn't mean UK fans shouldn't have expectations for the new coach.
Based on the current roaster make up the biggest miss is Osobor because we need a strong and athletic 4. We also still need a 3 that can create his own shot.Davis
Osobor
Mahaney
Lanier
Robinson
Options are getting slimmer from nba draft unless we can pull someone from overseas,
I meant to say junior-level Allen Edwards, and I think that's fairly accurate, actually.
Popes offense doesn’t need a guy who can create, the offense and the system create the looks. It’s nice to have a guy who can create and I want a wing who can score but the offense doesn’t necessarily need it. Osobor would have been nice but that price tag ridiculous
About as many as Dan Hurley had before he took the UConn job
He could have used a guy who can create against Duquesne. Just saying....
Asking for a friend: Do we need a guy who can create to win in the NIT?
Again, Pope had never recruited McNeely. He just tried to once he got to UK. Uconn is coming off of back to back titles and had been on him forever. What do you mean, Whiffed? Did you actually expect to land him? It was just a long shot it wasn’t a very serious attempt lol.
Pope has done a pretty okay job to this point. I think it shows a lot that he even made a push for McNeely, a lot of coaches wouldn’t have even wasted their time. It’s not a whiff, it’s a never was.
Pope has to perform to this job that’s for sure, but a few of you are expecting way too much too soon. It shows a severe lack of understanding when it comes to this system. If I would say he really should have closed the door on one, it would only be Davis. He lost him to Arkansas bench but then again it’s Calipari and he’s a top 3 recruiter of all time. It makes sense. I’m not even concerned with recruiting right now, I’m concerned with having a good bridge year because most coaches would have a losing record coming in after Calipari the way he left it.
Did you watch the game? They got good looks the whole game they just missed them. It’s a bad loss, and pope shouldn t have lost that game. But BYU got good looks for most of that game, I have watched it 3 times since it happened to watch Robinson.
ha ha and he didn't even come here. That's hilarious.
It was a brutal game to watch and it was shocking when somebody made a jump shot. Besides that, the offense got guys open looks pretty consistently.
Robinson was the only one who could hit a shot. They got open looks pretty much all game, they just missed them.
So they all choked in big game moments. Where have I heard that before?
The handwringing for 41% FG and 30 % 3pt FG against power teams is crazy people. Like to have him for potential but he’s not a savior
Yeah, it's not like we don't have all sorts of guys clamoring to come here, right? Who needs a borderline NBA talent?
Good thing we have players now that have won games in the ncaaT and been there to not get nervous like byu players did
They played bad that day yes, but he didn’t bring any of those players with him. He only wants the one that showed up that day.
Borderline because he shot so bad against that competition. I’m not feeding your troll. I love the team we already have.
Pope wanted all the players on our team and yet here are people not thinking they are good enough
With Robinson Pope sees the potential if he gets more efficient and that’s fair. But it’s still a risk , he’s a take but not a savior.
We don’t need a savior. Just one more good player
