Pope being there to greet him seems...insecure? A little over the top?

we wouldn't care if it were Coach Young doing it and he were a BYU commit.

cwilke1

10:28pm

I would still, and for always, think it's weird. Let families have their time.

runnincoug

10:31pm

No, I absolutely would care if it were Young. Let the missionary be with his family. A basketball coach is not family

jdub

10:32pm

Really hope he has another reason to come.... selling house maybe. Might be a little less weird if he

maybe see his children? They might still be here in the area.

cwilke1

10:36pm

Chandler's already lost to us for now, so who else might Pope be visiting on

cwilke1

10:34pm

I'd be surprised if Jax is still here. He graduated last week. Keita or Smith maybe?

maybe Keita for deep bench. Smith won't choose UK anymore, Pope has already

Fans calling for BYU to hire him gives me Quincy Lewis vibes. I don’t know much

Pee Wee Reese

He would be a great hire for all the reasons you list.

He might be better for BYU exactly where he's at.
