@BleedBlueCasey It’s fine. It’s sad that he needs to do this. No other coach in the country does.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@LegacyBlue_UK Online. I’m finally over KSR. They are butt-hurt because they don’t get info, and trying to pollute to fanbase so they can get someone that likes them. Pope cannot give out the info they want

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@JeffC2025 No. Recruits aren’t coming here…maybe ever again. Our fanbase is toxic. They turn on their own and do so publicly. It’s over.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@KentuckyEd78486 Beating TN 4 out of 5 times.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@LegacyBlue_UK That’s right! We can’t be so good and positive with positive news and then be the worst fan base in the country one day later with no real news.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@TJWalkerRadio If the players we are recruiting, read all these posts, you’re right.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@DylanBallard_UK It’s insanity.

There is zero negativity coming from anyone that knows. All the negativity comes from our fans that are expecting the impossible.

If we want immediate signees, we are gonna get players that aren’t marketable and consider UK as out of their league.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@pelsyear Incorrect. Sure would be nice to land him…but if the highest rated player is all we are hoping for, we should have kept Cal.

We want team chemistry and players that fit well together. He may be a great fit, but he and the coaches will decide that.

@BarstoolUK C+

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@TorresOnUK Maybe we can stop the “fire Pope” every time they have a slip-up now? It’s crazy how big the swings of emotion are from our fanbase from the Vandy game to now.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@KySportsRadio Mine too!! They are so joyful all the time.

@RowlandRIVALS Lowe
Aberdeen
Oweh
Diobate
Moreno

Run fast, 3/4 court press, rebound and keep up with Diobate level intensity.

Maybe we start hitting a few threes, but for now that’s the recipe for success.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@rarerookies This is insane. It’s a bad product…and 9 games ago, I didn’t see a single person discuss anything other than happiness. Great roster decisions, great coaching.
There’s something wrong in the locker room and he’s being loyal to the team…but once we know, it’ll make sense.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@JonRothstein Best explanation yet. Lowe was the key to a strong year. We need him to be solid until Jaspers coordination and decision making takes the college leap (hasn’t yet).

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@UKjohnnyhayes @KYHuangs Aberdeen was an elite shooter at Florida. Both Diobate and Aberdeen were specifically brought in because of their toughness. We lost a few SEC games down the stretch due to lack of toughness. Those two should have filled tha void…but they haven’t yet.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@CBeasmoreSports Just having a healthy Lowe tha contributes will be all the difference in the world. Aberdeen and Chandler have got to be off ball guards to succeed. I was much happier with the team last night. They all showed that they cared and there was effort all night. Owen will catch on.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@KYHuangs Our fan base is disgraceful. People that sit on a couch think they are entitled to an elite basketball team. So does every other team in the country. Coaches, players, and everyone else can see our childishness. Why would anyone want to come here. It’s all negativity. No unity.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@RowlandRIVALS I was happy with some improvement on effort and attitude.

Who would have thought Aberdeen, Chandler, Williams, and Johnson would all lose their ability to shoot 3s. This streak is puzzling.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@KySportsRadio I’ll take Stein with Chip Kelly as OC.

[Philip D. Ellis @pdelli2]

@wildcatnews I’m in the group that was very appreciative of his time here and think he is a good coach and a great human. He means a lot to a huge chunk of fans and players. I also think that the game has changed more than he was willing to admit was time for a mutual parting of ways.
