I'm OK w/ Pope listening to AZ once. But twice? That shows interest on his part. How well do you think that goes over with his new recruits? How well do you think that goes over with the guys in the transfer portal whom he is trying to convince to come to BYU. "Come play for me at BYU, with the greatest locker room in America. I'm going to take this program to the Final 4! That is, unless I'm not here, because I'm ready to jump to the big payday. BYU is just a stepping stone for me."

I know you'll say that that could happen with any coach. True. But we have proof with this coach after only two years. I was all on board the Pope hype train. Sorry, I just took a punch to the gut. I guess I was just naive.
