Ehhh...he's still a kid with Ky ties. Even if he comes here, Pope hasn't proven he can get top players that aren't Ky kids. :ROFLMAO: Lol!

Hope we get this one.

I think if Pope could land Stokes that just might open the flood gates for recruiting. Mashburn was Pitino's first big time recruit.
There's no reason to think he's not KU tho. Sucks cuz I hate those guys but facts are facts

And any optimism immediately gone lol
And it's a shame too, because Stokes would change everything for Pope.

As nice as Mark is, he's a stubborn SOB when it comes to recruiting, GM, etc. We have the money to sign Stokes.

His stubborness is going to probably cost him his job after next season.

Hope he likes spreading the money out with two or three of his 2nd and 3rd tier portal guys instead of a legitimate top 5 pick.

Just to be clear, Mashburn went to UK because he was a Knicks fan and wanted to play for their former coach.
