We could use the talent for sure. Everyone could. The question is whether that fixes what ails.
Stokes to Seattle HS

I’m not a basketball only fan. I’ve watched every single football game since 2002.
Well it sure doesn’t hurt. I’ve coached a good amount of ball. I always seemed to win more games when I had the best players.
Seems like we better pay for the couple guys every year who are head and shoulders better then. Makes even more difference now.
That's ridiculous you must be inove with CalLOL, Pope couldn’t handle someone like Stokes, might as well move on
People hate Calipari so much that they now don’t want superstars anymore. Instead they are OK with a bunch of $2-3 million role players coached by a career 63.8% winner.
I don’t hate Cal at all. I appreciate what he did here. OADs don’t win titles in CBB. Would I like to have one or two on each team to complement a returning nucleus of upperclassmen each season? Sure, but Pope will need to make sure the OADs he adds fits with the parts he has. How simple to suggest that anyone who doesn’t want to party like it’s 2009 hates Cal?
Can’t stand Calipari, but Pope would probably have Stokes sit as a “precaution” to let his fist heal from punching that dude at his last school!
And I’m honestly not really joking at this point.
We sure lacked in coaching in the time frame you're talking about.... #1 recruiting classes about every year and 1 measly Championship to show for it.
Exactly they didn't settle for 3rd and 4th level portal players at 22 million for a 15 player roster.
Well, you're just in full jerk Mode now aren't youLOL, Pope couldn’t handle someone like Stokes, might as well move on
Oh did he ? He got a bunch a players that will work at McDonalds though
I think you're a little confused. Cal was the guy who let guys sit with mysterious injuries. Pope had guys playing last year that Cal would have had in full body casts. Being a fan might be too tough for you. You might want a more genteel sport to follow. Maybe check out tomahawk throwing on the Ocho.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, man. Hurley built with portal and retention and sprinkled in a OAD rotation player. He didn’t assemble the most talent and roll the ball out. Most of the players he kept around in his program were very low rated (ex Cam Spencer)—- some of them literally unranked in high school. That was the point —- you did such a poor job with responding that I have no clue what you are trying to even say.
Point being we usually get the wrong guys is what I'm saying. Guys that'll work at McDonalds instead of being in the NBA after there done with college. We have Mid to below average players. Dan hurley is a more proven coach and plays different than pope . They are two completely different personalities Pope just stands there watching although I'm not full in on hurley crazy **** that he does . Not saying fire Pope but he needs to get some studs to prove himself for next yr .
Which national championship team do you want Pope to model his roster construction after? Looks to me like we just lost a game and started crying about *studs* with zero regard for whether that’s the issue or not. We always want what we think we do not have. It’s just emotion.
He has proved himself to me. Try and get that kid fired and Ill fight you all day long on it. This isn't going to be a Cal situation, cry hard enough and eventually he goes away
They’ve played Texas, Army, Indiana State and Western Carolina. We have no idea if they are good or not yet, much less dominant.
won't believe UK leads until he signs
Yes he does
Also needs some recruiters on staff as the ones there now have done zilch
True
Watching Gonzaga now, they look pretty good and play hard with no 5 star kids. Few has a good system and is a good coach
Facts. Send Lowe. Mo D. BG. Jelevic. Hawthorne packing. Pay more than anyone else for Stokes. Holt. Rippey and Muurinen to go with a vet true PG. Aberdeen. Jasper. Chandler. Noah. Kam. And the top C transfer available. Pay em. We’re gonna have guys making bank leave. Shove some more trash out the door. Rippey. Aberdeen. Chandler. Stokes. Stud C transfer with Vet PG. Jasper. Holt. Muurinen and MM first 5 off the bench is a title team Muurinen is what we dreamed of Jelevic as far as a stretch 4.
Oh yeah. Bring in Stokes. Rippey. Holt and the best C transfer available to go with Aberdeen. Chandler. Jasper. A vet true PG. Muurinen and MM and b that’s as dominate as you can get. Like 10 guys who can go for 20. Multiple players teams have to plan around. It’d be a team similar to an old Cal team but deeper and better shooters.
