not following the coach who promised to take care of you out of HS. Especially if the money is right.

The new incoming coach owes you nothing. I don't care how good you are, the incoming coach simply may not like you or understand you, or just want someone else in your role.

Especially in this case where the coach upgrades to a bigger basketball school. If he wants you there and offers, you go. It's the safest thing you can do.

All of the guys Pope doesn't want to take are in limbo right now. There are no guarantees Kevin Young even keeps them on his roster.

New sheriff in town.

I wouldn't worry about the players right now, especially in the portal era. K Young is going to get the guys he wants within a year or two.

The Pope era, team is over.
