I really enjoyed the introductory rally at Rupp, but it felt like a bit of a dog and pony show to me. If I'm not mistaken, we had more than enough dogs and ponies under the Cal regime. I think it would have behooved Pope to try to manage expectations for the first year or two. One can be both enthusiastic and realistic at the same time. There will be a lot of frayed nerves and pointing of fingers if things aren't trending the right way by his second season at the helm.
The longer we go…

If true despite Drew's family being flown in the next day, what difference would it make with recruiting?
It would be leaked in about five seconds.
I hope you’re wearing knee pads as much as you’re gobbling the dude responsible for the worst season and worst tournament losses in our history.
lol I actually never thought of it that way. Imagine how many games we would have lost without them. Yikes.O No! Cal is taking all our guys! The same guys who got knocked out in the first round vs Oakland. Except for Reed & Dillingham. He’s not taking our 2 best players but still, Cal is taking everyone!!!
Sunday felt NOTHING like Calipari. Nothing at all.
Flights back and forth to Provo, sleep, eating, an hour with Mitch, hour with Leach, conversation with wife and family, pack a lotta bags, talk to old team, inform BYU administrators, talk to agent 50 times, ahem…. When was he supposed to do this?
Guess we should just wait and see if we can get 5 players to start a game.
This is a disaster so far.
This is a disaster so far.
the media needs to start doing a bunch of stories on kids that didn't get jack by entering the portal after it closed on them
As of the time you posted this, Kenny Brooks had been on the job for 3 full weeks. Pope,,,,one day. Recruiting Men's BB right now is exponentially more difficult with the high NIL dollars at stake. Give Pope some time. Kids have to make visits and talk with the coaches. they aren't just instantaneously going to choose UK without some research. Especially at this point in the process. I think you will see a lot more movement in weeks two and three as you have seen with Brooks, especially now that a staff is close to being set and they can cast a bigger net.
How long has Kelsey been on the job at UofL, he has 5 committed guys so far. and one of them is redshirting, so technically he has four available for next year officially. Quaintance will give him five if all indications are true. Us, UofL and Arkansas are the ones most battling to fill out rosters. Other schools are looking to fill spots here and there. There's still 12 days left for players to enter the portal. I'm not going to be worried this early in the process. If this drags into mid-May/June and we're struggling with only 5-6 guys committed, then i'll worry.
There was some truth to the whole "microwave" comment Mitch made years ago. Too many fans hitting the panic button way too fast when results aren't instantaneous. Give it time. I promise we will have a team to put out on the court next year.
