I don’t get why this is constantly brought up. Richie wouldn’t have played much
So he made the correct decision to stay. And I don’t think he recruited Waterman or Khalifa.

One critical take on Pope

I don’t understand why people think this take is grounded in reality

Didn’t recruit either in the portal

I can guarantee neither were recruited to Kentucky

Khalifa never had an offer to Kentucky.

Khalifa was interested in Kentucky. Ghosted by Pope. No interest at all, though there might have been were Aly going to

A great example of a statement that is factually accurate, and still misleading.

IOW, nobody who has played for him followed him.

+ Pope’s stellar retention of players while at BYU

Go cheer for Kentucky Dude.

Not all us BYU fans need to be Mark Pope haters. Believe it or not Joe's not attacking you
SinkingQuffa

The whole picture? Mark Pope is a very average and pedestrian coach who happens
YbeatsU
May 19, 9:16pm
Your belief-system is very apparent & consistent, yes.
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 9:19pm
Absolutely correct. Pope has great energy but a very very average coach.

May 19, 10:01pm
So, is UK's leadership really that level of idiotic? Saying Pope wasn't close to first choice
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 10:38pm
You’re surprised that Pope interviewed well? High energy people can mask lots

You don't become UK's HC w a slick lil song-n-dance. C'mon man, life isn't quite that simple.
SinkingQuffa

I agree. Pope is way overrated. He won’t last at UK imo

It's doubtful Pope's pitch to Richie was of the high-pressure sort. "Come be a practice-player at the top program in

Richie is the kind of player I wouldn’t bet against…
icecougar

Richie was not recruited for a reserve role.
CPAcoug87
May 19, 7:52pm
I didn’t say that was Popes pitch but the reality is there
JoeExotic
May 19, 8:20pm
And likely the exact same pitch KY gave him…
CPAcoug87
May 19, 8:45pm
Yes but…he actually will start at BYU
JoeExotic
May 19, 8:59pm
So, let me get this straight…
CPAcoug87
May 19, 9:10pm
No. If BYU lands Chaz - that’s a big win over UK. Chaz would start at Kentucky.
JoeExotic
May 19, 10:21pm
Richie is also a big recruiting win over UK.
CPAcoug87
May 19, 10:36pm
For us, absolutely. He will likely start for us.
JoeExotic
May 19, 10:39pm
So you know that Richie wasn't recruited as primarily as a utility guy?
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 8:55pm
lol, Pope absolutely saw Richie as a “UK level” player.
CPAcoug87
May 19, 9:14pm
Think what you want. Pope had over 10 schollies to work with. Ear-marking one for his DAWG at BYU was no biggie.
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 9:18pm
Sorry but Aly and Noah are not UK level players, at least not starters nor meaningful minute guys
SayMyName
May 19, 7:39pm
And neither was Richie. But he could have a chance to work his way into an end-of-the-rotation role.
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 9:05pm
But he got arguably the best player in Chandler.
ochobeeguy
May 19, 8:34pm
And in doing so — likely saved him from appearing on the yewt roster next season.
SinkingQuffa
May 19, 9:30pm
I don't care. I like Mark Pope and wish him the best. I hope he is successful.
