This X a million! Rack him!
If all this board did was fawn over Pope and the players, no matter the results, it would be a cult and not a community.

Fella I've crapped worse than you. Good luck in your crusade against evil boy.
What support circle can fix this? Mark Fox? Kicking one or two dudes off or benching them isn't going to fix this mess. Aside from all the other stuff, this roster is an absolute mess. It doesn't fit well together at all.
Why all the hate? You are the one who wanted transparency and I agree with you. All I said was be the leader and you come back with an insult.
You will never find post where I bad mouth a player or the coach.
But if you are going to suggest an answer to an issue, then be the leader, not a keyboard warrior.
To be fair, that's a Straw Man.
It's always funny when people try to Straw Man me, because it never works.
I'm not even sure what that means, but Oweh isn't on mocks. He wasn't going to get drafted last year. And he's not getting drafted this year.
You don't have google? It's when you accuse someone else of arguing something they are not, because it's a point you think you can win on. I'm happy to debate what I'm actually arguing.
My bad. I think you're giving me too much credit. I'm not nearly smart enough to do something like that. I honestly wasn't trying to argue anything, just pointing out (sorta tongue in cheek, sorta not) that Oweh isn't an NBA talent.
Well, I wasn't really giving you the credit you deserve if it was just an accident. We've all got genius inside us, friend.
Anyway, what I should have said, is that I am not trying to say that about Oweh. My argument had nothing to do with whether or not Oweh is an NBA prospect.
Man...this generation sure does overuse some words.Exactly how On3 likes it. More toxic = More traffic = More. Stay toxic BBN!
The season still has a long way to go, but the early indications are that we have another version of "team turmoil." I sincerely think that Pope is a great offensive mind, but the other demands of coaching at Kentucky include the recruiting and development of top talent. It is not going to be easy to win in the NIL era at Kentucky without recruiting the best and then developing them to their potential.
We have to recruit at the highest level, fundraise NIL at an ever increasing level, while at the same time managing egos and NIL driven distractions. We are in uncharted territory for our program, and few coaches out there could handle this type of scrutiny and pressure in year two.
There is a real danger that Pope created his own undoing during his opening press conference. He set unrealistic expectations for a fanbase that is desperate for change. We are desperate for national relevance and for number 9. Promising to get our program there when, in reality, we were facing a full ground-up rebuild of the roster and the culture of the program was folly. Pope might understand the Kentucky fanbase and the program with an apex Rick Pitino at the helm, but he will see the impatient and anxious side when the losses pile up this season.
I like Pope and want him to succeed, but unless he's able to turn this season around from the brink, we are in for a rough time. The SEC will not play down when Kentucky is on the court. We get everyone's best shot, and it is a real shame that we don't give our opponents the same courtesy.

Always been that way. They will disappear when a winning streak starts and reappear after a loss.
I think through Pope’s journey from 96 Cats to 8 years in the NBA and still being close to Pitino and the players he played with along the way, there are plenty of people and mentors close to Pope. Im kinda surprised you would instantly go to Mark Fox. A very weird first guess comsidering Pope’s pedigree.
I mean, the dude sits in the chair next to him. Gave him his first job. Bu I certainly hope he’s got other people than his staff to reach out to, you’re correct about that.

The only problem is, we are 5 games in and this thing looks like it’s getting worse so I maybe be completely wrong about him seeking advice. I said last game I am losing faith in his decision making and his ability tongetnokayers to buy into his system and to save this thing. It’s premature maybe to some but this seems bad to me.
