Doesn't sound like it was, but that it was building.

Yes. But, probably got better after he left.... as donors saw a need to reclaim

Benfica1

Pope spoke about it often...maybe he was the catalyst to get the ball rolling before he left. I dunno

Preppy

The donors were as invested in him as he was in BYU.

I love Pope but this is right on!

Not to this extent, no.

inertiaman

Maybe Pope took one for the team...walked away knowing what was going to happen.

He always wanted to be at Kentucky. It took a miracle for him to get there.

Not a log jam. 5 out O will present challenges to big 12 foes.

Then it’s by design so that works.

Chefcurry

We're only really 4 out. Fouss or Keita have to be inside no?

GfB

It's called 4.5 out offense. NBA teams run it.

That would probably be why KY has mentioned rim-running 5's as being a key

When people have legit inside information they aren’t making predictions.
