Even though he claimed he was so invested in BYU. The BYU that did so much for him.
But Pope did not have to take any BYU players or recruits. That is just dirty. He has the UK prestige, he can recruit top rated recruits, all he wants to fill his roster. He doesn't need BYU players who are not as good as the players he can get from the portal and recruit out of HS. UK can get the one and done NBA players. Pope just doesn't need Chandler or Richie. It's just spiteful to take BYU players with him.
Sure take the assistance you want, fine. Kevin will pick his own assistants.
I'm not forgiving Pope for taking BYU guys. That's just a dirty move. Go get your own UK players.
