@John_E_Best49 @BRamseyKSR Still going to beat Loserville.

@KentuckyMBB Pope

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@jabbatheguy @BRamseyKSR No, the talent is not there.

@ukhoopspage Why is a football recruit worried about negativity toward the basketball coach?

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@GoBigBlueAllDay @JohnWall Completely different circumstances: the Wall team had three young top-tier NBA prospects that you knew would improve while this team has middle-pack SEC talent that probably won’t improve much.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

Kentucky fans acting like getting Jai Lucas wouldn’t be a slam dunk is weird. The guy took a 7-win team with no one returning and immediately won more games in a season than Pope ever has. He also stacks talent: Cyril, Lewis, Henderson, Gaskins, etc.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@teeroyhowell Unfortunately, I think it’ll be Mark Pope.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@creativeramonnn @BigBlueCarti Fair point. The counter would be that he coaches some talented guys to rebound, defend, and otherwise play hard-nosed basketball. Give him some more NIL, increase his talent pool, and you can see him improving his offense. He’s already top 50 offensively on KenPom.

@FlyinStallion @GooseDripper @Nate2KY Is it not objectively true that ridding the program of Pope would be to its benefit?

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@Nate2KY I would never root against Kentucky, but I didn’t feel anger and had a broad sense of acceptance. I also had the thought that this would hasten what has to happen for the good of the program.

@JCHawks_BBN Mason Williams is the type of player someone like Nate Oats turns into an all-conference player.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@Prestige4lyfe @CouchCoachNKY Pitino approved of Pope.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@CouchCoachNKY I would self-immolate if they hired Richard Pitino.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@creativeramonnn @BigBlueCarti He can coach and his teams rebound at a high level and play good defense (currently KenPom top 10 in adjusted D).

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@kikilovesuk @TerrellTres You think this is acceptable?

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@TerrellTres I wish people would stop feeling bad for Pope. He’s a grown man who knew what he was getting into.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@JackPilgrimKSR Say it, Jack.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@RonnieLee300 They’re correct, though.

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@BillyGsBourbon @bigbluekodakk I would call Will Wade up right now and make a strong-ass offer!!

[Zach M. - Stein for ✌️ @BBN_Zach]

@LeeTheKYFan @WildcatUKx This team has nowhere near as much talent as the next blue blood, Alabama, etc.

This is a middle pack SEC squad.
