What happened to UK basketball ?? Seriously we're chasing mid players who's using UK as l leverage and still don't come. And somehow expecting Mark to win a champion. Something has to change. Pope was and always will be mediocre. We need accept such and move on after next year
Dickie V just now on Kentucky's roster:
"I'm gonna say this right here... win or lose. I've done several Kentucky games now. Win or lose, $22 million this team is, according to reports, is the NIL for their players. With $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did."
Mark Pope needs to give it up. His coaching philosophy is terrible and his recruiting abilities are nonexistent. Paid 22 million dollars for a bunch of mediocre role players that he thought were good. UK basketball is not fun to watch anymore.
Can’t recruit. Can’t defend. Can’t play the correct lineups. Can’t call timeouts. Can’t adjust. No toughness. No pride. No physicality. No energy. No fire.
We’ve got nothing to us. Nothing at all. Kentucky Basketball used to hunt. Now we are hunted. This is a flat out mess.
