Just turned the MBB category back on ... y'all still demanding a goodbye letter?

Pope HAS to be shocked by this

VinnyBYU

2:51pm

He’s moved on. We should too

Zombre

2:52pm

Nah, he'd made up his mind long before the Kentucky job became available.

RockyBalboa

Seems like they wouldn't have given him the same deal

ryebrye

He'd need to string a couple good to great seasons together. He's had 2 of 5–

Benfica1

He went to a dream job. Why would he care?

Seems like Kentucky is where is heart is.

Preppy

Probably he has just moved on and not thinking too much about it.

True but just the thought. I don't know if he'll ever

Doubt he cares. He got his bag 💰

texbird33

Looks like both sides will benefit

MajorZeus

He probably doubled his multimillion dollar contract. I think he’s content.

Cougz19

2:51pm

He has too much to worry about at Kentucky to consider BYU right now. It's

Archaea

Getting used to these acronyms. In my head MP=military police or mission President and KY = Kentucky.

PJMort

How funny would it be to beat Pope in the tourney next year.

marinact

Well, Pope let UVU do that to him

Here are the following ways Pope can make things right:

BlueFever

2:46pm

BYU has never followed the Pope. Why start now?

Bob Vance

2:49pm

So when are they going to have the welcome for Coach Young?

CougarGuy84

2:46pm

Probably tricky with him staying on at Phoenix for the playoffs.

BYUHawk

2:50pm

Yeah, I didn’t think of that. I’m stupid.

CougarGuy84

After the playoffs are over?

Zoobieman

Yep, I’m not a smart man.

CougarGuy84

Chandler could've risen to Jimmer-esque fame at BYU, now he'll be just another

aaronmania

We would love to have him. Assuming he doesn't reconsider, he is gone, and

No he wouldn’t. Not close. Great player. Not an extreme outlier player.

You never know, but let's not sugarcoat it. Highest rated recruit ever no?

that's what was said about Jabari Parker at Duke and he ended up with $60 mil

And Frank Jackson. I would have been happy with Jabari and Frank playing at BYU

Parker could have been a BYU legend. I don't know why these LDS guys want to go

Still not too late for Pope to do the right thing: Congratulate BYU and Coach Young, and say thank you to BYU players

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

STOP WORRYING ABOUT POPE

CSoul

Do you really have to shout? It hurts my feelings.

Maybe it was the link to Hank IROZ built Audi's, but your posts are solid

Zoobieman

It's not to late to move on

Skeptical Optimist

2:45pm

Judging by the OP’s currently being started on the board, y’all are in the minority. We haven’t got over Pope yet.

2:49pm

Pope who? He is swimming with the fish.

DawgHaus

2:46pm

Nah, both sides can just move forward. CB can also stop cursing Pope's name.

Benfica1

2:46pm

STOP with the Pope do the right thing. He is gone, we need to forget him and

2:50pm

He missed the window. It's not going to happen at this point.

ManicBlue

I know Checketts is hiss and a byword here but

gurt

Maybe Spence is turning over a new leaf

JackStack

2:38pm

He probably just says what he believes.

Belboz

That's saying something, he knows bball and doesn't dish out compliments to BYU

Rhubarb

I’ll drink to that!

The Y's Insider

No idea if he is better than Pope. But GREAT hire regardless.

Lifer

Spence is the best NBA guy in the Utah media

Checketts may be smug and tiresome at times, but he seems to know his NBA BB.

Malcolm Reynolds

No. I think games are way better without it. It gave the home teams way too much

shoganai

Solid answer

Malcolm Reynolds

2:38pm

This is why you don't give up an early red even if it means conceding a goal.

YSMACK

Indeed, playing down a man against a team pressing for goals… bad recipe.

Pretty sure he feels he is ready for the NBA

He might start if he stays 😂😂

Yes. He might enter the NBA draft, or he might transfer, or he might come back.
