@rgfray1 You do have to wonder if his separation from his wife left him with some legal fees he turned into a gig to helping with content to save some cash
@BanteredB_ Uh…. Must’ve not comprehended the part about UK’s offer being the far more significant one… Meaning even with a lot more money on the table he still isn’t sold on Kentucky.
@1912Doc A staff and group of insiders that didn’t know Stokes was committed to Kansas for over a month prior to his decision, now magically knows Louisville upped their offer overnight…. Sounds like MM’s agent is trying to get every dollar out of UK he can (knows they are desperate).
@KySportsRadio Or MM’s agent and camp are doing what they’re supposed to do. They know UK and Pope are desperate and are trying to milk that cash-cow dry. Pope is insulated from the CBB world and has no inside info. Kentucky is bidding against themselves. Wouldn’t UofL just beat the offer?
@StevenRummage@BaxleyRJR What it really comes down to is Pope and UK have insulated themselves so much that they have no inside info. MM’s agent is doing the smart thing and making UK bid against themselves. They know how desperate Pope is, they are trying to squeeze every last cent out.
@ULcody Pope was a wildly unpopular hire at first, especially prior to this introduction and the nostalgia championship entrance. So, UK treated that thing like a fan-fest and tried to get as much positive PR as possible. Having a credential from that day is not impressive.
@QuincyKreitzer Using this to prove you’re media would be like someone being credit as a journalist because they appeared in the obituary section of a newspaper. That Pope introduction was a glorified fan-fest because his hire was wildy unpopular at the time and they needed to sell it.
Talk about a power trip… Puts out a statement that says fans deserve to hear from the staff. Then gets upset that the staff listened to him and the fanbase made fun of it. Matt Jones acts like he is needed by Kentucky Athletics and is getting drunk on it.
Been off my phone for a couple of hours and saw the replies to Pope’s tweet. There is nonsense in the replies but there are also a lot of sincere, good questions from fans who care
Hopefully someone filters those out and Pope answers them. If so, I think it can be helpful
@goobert29 Buzz Williams lost to Louisville in the Big East when he was at Marquette. He lost to Louisville in the ACC when he was at Va-Tech. You made up fake sources to convince yourself he could finally beat Louisville when he was at Maryland!?!? Your head coach is Buzz Williams lol…
@jlightsy7 The coaching staff told him (the reporter) that Stokes was going to commit at Big Blue Madness. He reported it, Stokes then opened his recruitment back up after “Kentucky violated his trust.” Plus the reporter went to Kansas and was/is a huge Kansas fan, pictures all over.
@KButter_22@OhioTate That’s crazy considering how the first sentence of the tweet is the preface to the Lebron question. That fitst sentence being: “They just announced the NCAA All-American team at the Final Four.” It’s ok that comprehension is not a strong skill for you.
