Mark Pope and the Kentucky staff were already thrilled with the roster going into the deadline. Would have loved an experienced safety-net scoring threat on the wing, but felt the group was competitive as is.

Now you add the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year who brings system familiarity and experience beyond 3-point efficiency on high volume -- the perfect piece.

You can't ever be certain with 12 new moving parts and only one player Pope has coached, but there are no glaring flaws -- scoring, shooting, playmaking, defense, rebounding, depth and experience. They've got it all, plus one more scholarship to work with, however you want to use it.

Home run offseason for Pope and his staff.

"We want to love on them. We want to hold them accountable. We want to challenge them. We want to push them to do things they never thought they could do before."

@UKBaseball HC Nick Mingione's response to Ryan Waldschmidt calling him "the best coach I've ever had" is everything. 🩷

Watching that Calipari press conference was like when they cast a new Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince without telling us.

[Daniel Hager @DanielHagerOn3]

I ranked all 118 players from the John Calipari Era at Kentucky (2009-2024).

Would love to hear your thoughts.
