And the word that shall not be named —- injuries. I’m sorry but it matters, especially the injuries we have had. I have no idea what the shooting numbers would have looked like this year with a fully healthy point guard, but we will never be able to know that now. Awful luck.
Kentucky needs to back off Pope at this point. He can’t recruit worth a **** or atleast his staff can’t. The top recruit looked to be headed to you and you “back off.”
Back in the day I would be happy to accommodate them, but I am 56. Fortunately here in Texas we have open carry, so not a lot of fighting anymore lol
This has to be sarcasm. He supposedly had a ton of talent wanting to play for him after his first year here and you see how many actually talented players came. Maybe 1-2. After seeing this team there will be nobody coming here. His recruiting is as screwed up and dysfunctional as the current team. You’d think as many 5 stars as we’ve been in on and led on up until the decision that he would have atleast gotten lucky and landed one but nope.
That is what Duke said last year when they played us. Injuries matter. Awful Luck.
And they were correct. We benefited from their cramps. Anyone saying otherwise is being inconsistent
Joe, where do we stand with Bruce Branch?If anyone has any questions, feel free to drop them below and I'll answer throughout the day.
The latest intel on No. 1 overall recruit Tyran Stokes
Joe Tipton breaks down the latest on Tyran Stokes’ Vanderbilt offer and where things currently stand with Kentucky and Kansas.www.on3.com
Bringing common sense into RR is dangerous lol.
We have much more talent than we did a year ago. The results are catastrophically worse. I’d rather Pope build for his system, ensuring a snug fit at every role. Whole is better than the sum of its parts sure seemed to work a lot better than the Ferrari to me.
here is what I'll say. part of their issues recruiting this cycle is because when you clearly prioritize Stokes as your No. 1 guy, other players feel that.
also, it definitely has an impact on recruits that kentucky has not played well so far this season
Thats why I can't bail. Duke is 10-0 with lots of close wins. What is their record without Carlos Boozer all year, Isaiah Evans for most of it and Caleb Foster for some of it
everything I say is from trustworthy sources close to the situation. I'll leave it at that
so when I say NIL is not an issue for Kentucky, I mean the actual dollar amount as to which they can offer is not a problem
haha I like the optimism! they need to win a lot more first before we can project them to have a killer roster. but I dont think we should be calling for Pope's job yet
dont forget JQ is a former 5-star and projected lottery pick. I know he hasn't played yet, but thats something
trailing. Kentucky is not being currently mentioned to me as a real contender in his recruitment
not sure actually. You would think they would want one at this point. Def wouldn't shock me if they hired one this offseason
yes but the huge astrisk that hes coming off a big injury kinda sours it
Thanks for all the good work you do!
Yeah it is fluid which is why I don't understand why everyone runs with every little information they get then a week later everything changes and then you post that, just let it play out until there's a definite direction or a commitment date set.
He was also taking 8th graders and guys who weren’t even ranked. He started a walkon.
I vote worst. Especially, considering the money he is allowed to spend.
