Maybe the injuries last year concerned him and he aimed for depth this year. And he thought Aberdeen and Chandler would be better at point if necessary than they've proven to be.
TJ walker tweet on Pope and recruiting
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
Oweh probably found out that he just wasn't going to make it to the NBA. If that happened then he would have seen this as his big payoff and became a bit of a slacker as a result. "This is it. Might as well have fun," sort of thing.
He absolutely does not relate to everyone. My background is upstanding, financially comfortable, intelligent folks.... that background absolutely does not apply well across all demographics.
This is a good thread. Lots of well thought out ideas and opinions. Some of the better writers present too
Oh I fully know how the business world works, and that’s what big-time college sports is now. I just don’t really see UK canning Pope after his second year. That’s all. It’s ok to disagree on it.

Thank you! Who gives a **** if he signs five star freshmen. That got us noting under Cal. He needs to recruit to his system. He needs SHOOTERS. He needs a good defensive PG. recruit to your system. Todd Golden, Matt painter, etc aren’t signing 5 star freshmen left and right, they are signing the right guys to their system. Honestly Popes system seems awful for freshmen.
Just because you critique or point out all the things a group of people is known for does not make it Anti-Semitic. The only issue I have with them is that they control way too many things in our country and have convinced people that any criticism against them is Anti-Semetic.
Depends on the writer and the threats, both Superman and Batman are the most OP characters in comics sometimes. Overall Superman is by far the most OP hero in DC/Marvel but it depends on the version. If they need him to be he will become omnipotent and reality controlling.
Ill bet you anything you want to wager that Pope will be here next season. Back up your gum flapping my guy
He might be. That’s not the point. If he flames out hard, and loses his ***, he won’t be. You also said Calipari isn’t going anywhere. He’s gone. Heard this all last
Season stoops isn’t going anywhere. He’s gone.
If mark flames out hard he will be gone.
He has to have one more year. Barnhart is here until June at minimum, why the hell would anyone want him making the next hire? That’s so brain dead I can’t believe I have to explain it. Plus it’ll make it easier to bring on a strong coach if Pope is given at least another year. People wanting him gone now are insane and are the loud minority.
As I’ve said I honestly don’t see the point in firing him. Might as well see what can happen at this point because 1. You don’t want Barnhart part of this and I do believe he’s got to go now and 2. If some miracle happens and he finds his footing we’ve got that Pitino era here to offset some of these academic foreiners which we desperately need with the Rupp era guys leaving. At this point F it give it a long range chance.
However can’t sleep on it too long if he’s not dominant. We’re going to lose our standing. I just don’t believe we can fully lose it, unless the JMI thing is a major hurdle. We’ve got private equity coming too Utah just sold their athletic department so I’m sure Barnhart is licking his lips at doing that as well and selling UK to the highest bidder. Many more problems besides Pope right now.
Nope. Need a balance. Pope went too far to the left, Cal too far to the right.
