We need Wright to commit TODAY!

[Prince is STILL KING!]

Pope needs to lock him up ASAP! If he commits and Stokes is still undecided than you have to move on. Putting our eggs in one basket (Stokes) is a dangerous game. I am not super high on Stokes as is...but the waiting game is ridiculous and making me dislike him even more. Why would you want somebody who clearly does not view you as their first choice while actively shopping for a higher bidder (with no interest). I get the talent aspect but its just not worth it IMO. Hopefully we can lock up Wright and get the ball rolling one way or another,

Stokes has already left according to folks on X who saw him getting dropped off at the airport in an "old beat up Kia." I'm not joking either.

 

[TheApostleSaulSmith]

I agree.

Commit and Wright in the same title got me excited for a minute

ASAP you say? How innovative! Wonder why nobody thought of this sooner!?

You have to wait on Stokes.
He is the top player in his class.
Like it or not, he will get to decide when he's ready.
Stokes is option 1A++ for Pope. He has zero high school recruits.
Did Stokes say it was either KU or UK?

 

[FitchandMurray29]

My guess is Wright commits today, Pope REALLY needs it. That excited momentum the fanbase expressed Sunday will start to fade if he doesn’t.

I guess he's not pulling a Cal and the Bentley treatment.

Well at least it wasn't a Yugo

Right...unbelievable?!

Allegedly, Trilly says he's still on campus, so.

He will. Calm down

I am pretty sure that UK didn't just drop Stokes at the curb, in a Kia and say have a nice flight. That would be the dumbest thing ever.

Yes and no. The visit was un-official meaning there are guidelines on what the school can pay for. While it was an obvious troll post about the blue KIA, it's not completely out of the realm that he had to take an Uber back to the airport. Obviously none of that happened, but the troll used the slice of believability and possibility to make KSR look dumb, again.

So you're not joking that you heard it from anonymous soures (the peanut gallery) on X.

Maybe they rented a Kia for him and said...."here are the keys to your whip, Champ."

I thought we would have a boom by now.

It’s an unofficial, so they can’t technically drop him off.

BYU fans on Twitter seem certain he's going back there

You can pay a guy whatever you want and tamper with players all season, but you better not have good travel accommodations on unofficial visits. The NCAA has to be one of the goofiest institutions of all time.

The chance we are a NIT team next year are growing by the minute

 

[Prince is STILL KING!]

If Pope loses Wright he will never recover…

Nope because the money decreases quite a bit. He’s not paying 20 m for a bunch of scrubs. Boosters are running the show it seems especially with no AD. Do we even have a candidate pool yet for AD? Eli is awful trying to put his kinda guy in there just before he retires .

Pope should resign after this week

Pope should resign after this week

If he had the pride to resign, he would have done it by now. He’s fine with burning it to the ground and collecting checks. This is the highest paid job he’ll ever have and even though he wasn’t qualified, he’ll still milk it for all it’s worth. Just like most people would.
