How is his playing with this group impacting his future in ANY way? The NBA drafts on physical attributes, skills and potential. He could play with 5th graders this year and still be a lottery pick.
I couldn't find it anywhere on the web or my PC photo collection. I may have an idea, but you're right, if I change it back I might be more recognizable (although these small little circle avatars might make it tough).
Ahhh, but Pope recruited and signed JQ! So, just say it. You bashed him and you were wrong. But in a round a bout way, you did just admit that he did in fact sign good players. I do wish Lewis hadn't de-committed though. We would be looking much better even without JQ.
What joy did you get from saying he would never play...I will never understand those posts
Lol, still bashing the team... gtfoh
I had no joy. I had answered a poll where someone asked if he'd play or not, and why. I just answered someone's question a month ago like others. My prediction (not joy) was that he'd not be physically ready. I didn't go all "he's going to Sharpe us".
He hasn’t done anything to prove anybody wrong. Get to the sweet 16 or win the SEC. Land a top high school player. This is Kentucky.
A number of posts come from Ky haters that pretend to be fans. They are easy to pick out.
That will not happen because about 90% of those posters were troll, the only ones who would actually fess up are the 10% true fans.
You're one of his worst critics. Just admit it and get over it. The way the team played today and the players that Pope recruited...make you look really stupid.
Congratulations on your national championship, Tom Crean. You said Pope proved everyone wrong. This is Kentucky. Win the SEC or go to the sweet 16 or better. Land a top 5 recruit.
You said he'd never play. He played. But now you've decided you get to be right if he doesn't play the whole season? Cool story.
People have a right to be concerned after the Sharpe incident. And if we’re being honest, as good as JQ was today, I think most of us would’ve rather had someone like Yaxel come in at the beginning of the year and be an immediate impact instead of struggling with JQ being out for almost half a season.
What did i say that is wrong? Im not the one making claims. Yall are. Im just enjoying the haters eating crow. You've also been a loud one. Enjoy!
Just about everything in that last sentence is wrong. JQ wasn’t going to be drafted in the lottery if he “just waited”, no way. I don’t care what the projections say, there would’ve just been too much concern by GM’s on if his injury was completely healed. If he plays like he did yesterday? Top three pick is in play, so he’s definitely helping his future.
This! The only thing I may question from above is JQ and Moreno playing together. I know JQ can stay with his man outside defending the 4 man, but I want him staying near the basket 99.9% of the time.....Moreno too. I sure hope we can figure out a way to play them together.
Funny how all the “let’s let the season play out” people are so quick to yell “we won a game so eat crow”
Yeah, except its was more than that. The pieces all came together and we were what we hoped for, finally. We still need to keep working on a backup PG but we look like a team now.Funny how all the “let’s let the season play out” people are so quick to yell “we won a game so eat crow”
Who would have thought that beating an unranked Indiana team and a four loss St John's team was enough to eclipse the four losses, including two blowouts, that we've had.
The hyper negative stuff has existed on this message board because up until about 10 days ago, the team was playing to a level that warranted hyper negative responses. What do you expect people to do when you go through a 3-week stretch where you're lose to everybody with a pulse, including multiple blowouts, and no recruits to establish hope for the future? It doesn't seem like you understand what a sports message board is for.
Pope recruited and signed JQ, so this roster looks a lot better this morning.
You know, the easiest way for this message board to come together is for Pope to do something very important that he was hired to do: keep winning games.
Agreed. We're improving. Still got a ways to go but we're headed the right way.
This is an actual fan who was frustrated with the way the team was playing when we were banged up. The trolls are the fellas that were still dogging out the team instead of praising team and coach for the great win
I thought he would play. I do not buy into the conspiracies. However, I will eat crow because I did not think we would beat St. John's. I had Turkey for Thanksgiving and crow before Christmas. It does not taste to bad either. I will be glad to eat crow the rest of the year. I just want the Cats to win, win and win!
You’re December? Is that like a Calendar thing or your real name or when you need the most attention or?
Ah, you get the typo police dumb*** award. Congrats on living up to the national stereotype lol
12 year olds are always tough behind a keyboard
The "hyper negative crap" lately has been the team losing in uninspired ways to beatable teams, not the fans reacting to said debacles.
There’s no need for a long drawn out attempt to justify why you were wrong. That’s not what crow eating is. Just admit you were wrong and move along. Eat the crow man. Eat it!
