Mark Pope answers fan questions -- Part 1?

He did a great job

The high school recruiting answer was interesting. Liked this answer on Malachi. I'm glad he did that and hope he does more.

I'm relieved to hear that he wants to start landing top-20 HS recruits

My biggest question coming out of this video is how has he been to so many cities overseas and in the states recently when we haven’t heard of any names rumored here besides Marcio? Our insiders (not just KSR), really must be hearing so many leas names than we are actually going after which is actually pretty scary because we’re still getting no commits.

The camera budget is apparently doing well

I don't hate this at all. Really well done. I wanna believe and I wanna be excited....but this hasn't been fun....at all.

Good to hear.

It actually excited me that he mentioned those other locations. I also like no one knows who we are after rn. Hope we can lock it up quietly

found sound money under a parachute left in the office.

Pope mentioned hanging a banner. Would be cool.

Here we go...

He did a really good job with this. It doesn’t fix all the concerns, but good to hear from ya coach.

Not bad. Don’t know about the roster response

Much better than anticipated. Not perfect, but it’s a start. Go finish now

I’ll wait until mid January

I know some didn’t like it but the video yesterday was cool with me and this one even more so. I’ve been critical this offseason but don’t think this was a bad move personally.

I swear I thought it was AI generated at first

To all the haters, he actually hit a PR home run with this one. Not everything is fixed obviously but he took a step in the right direction.

this won’t do much for people who are out on him. it will work for the people who wanted it to work. oh well.

Meh, pretty much a word salad on the important questions. at least he is talking I guess

Me too. I hate what the internet has done to my brain

There's my coach. Those were not puff questions geez

#1 - Does he not wear a wedding ring? #2 - The question about 14/20 recruits visiting but not committing was EXACTLY the same question Ryan said today, that @MattJones told Ryan you couldn't ask in that manner. Matt said you had to soften it up before asking it. Pope pulled a question with the same wording.

It was funny hearing the giggle when he stated he’d like to land a few of them.
