Well, I can confirm with 100% certainty Pope is actively recruiting our guys

kansascougar

Apr 15, 9:02am

If Kentucky is so great why is he recruiting BYU players?

WJCougar

Apr 15, 9:04am

Continuity and seniority.

Mostlyaccurate

Apr 15, 9:05am

So you're saying Pope can't recruit?

WJCougar

Apr 15, 9:06am

No I'm not. Continuity and senority win in college basketball.

Mostlyaccurate

Apr 15, 9:10am

So....he cannot recruit. Got it.

WJCougar

Apr 15, 9:12am

Right…because that approach worked so well this year for Kentucky…

arcawley

Apr 15, 9:53am

They had a better season than BYU had.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 15, 11:56am

Not really

arcawley

Apr 15, 12:31pm

so basically you're saying the BYU guys we have that he recruited are all crap?

icecougar

Apr 15, 10:44am

Nope....I'm saying Pope cannot recruit apparently.

WJCougar

Apr 15, 11:16am

right, so you're saying our BYU guys are crap

icecougar

Apr 15, 11:29am

Nooe...never said that. It's obvious you want it to say that.

WJCougar

Apr 15, 11:33am

Ummm it isn’t mutually exclusive.

DrJazzy

Apr 15, 1:21pm

Looks like UK has 10 scholarships available. His 1st job will be to recruit

dratax

Apr 15, 11:37am

What is a scholarship? Those don't really matter much anymore.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 15, 11:55am

Let me rephrase. KU has 10 players gone. 3 decommitted + 7 in the portal

dratax

Apr 15, 2:25pm

Pretty simple logic.

DrJazzy

Apr 15, 1:20pm

so you're saying you know with certainty that "ALL" Pope is doing is...

icecougar

Apr 15, 10:42am

Is devaluing the players on our roster a coping mechanism for some?

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 9:11am

Yes....I'm sure Kentucky fans are really excited to see...

WJCougar

Apr 15, 9:13am

He's not bringing every player

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 9:16am

Hall, Saunders, Robinson, and Chandler could absolutely help Kentucky win.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 15, 10:37am

Very doubtful Saunders would get playing time. Hall is a maybe (definitely not

BYUHgrad

Apr 15, 10:39am

Richie would have the same role there that he had this year

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 10:45am

Except 5 guys better than him would be on the depth chart. Saunders is maybe

BYUHgrad

Apr 15, 10:46am

You're way underselling him

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 10:56am

you're hurting your credibility here. Saunders is a top 50 player in the...

icecougar

Apr 15, 11:00am

I will eat crow if they do well. But I will take my chances, as the metrics

BYUHgrad

Apr 15, 11:26am

They will probably be staying.

Plantagenet

Apr 15, 11:34am

But not because they couldn't have been helpful at KY because they would be

runnincoug

Apr 15, 11:47am

Remember how Kansas ran out of depth? That happens. These teams aren't 10 deep.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 15, 11:03am

So would Khalifa, especially if he is healthy and able to get better conditioned

jaba166

Apr 15, 3:24pm

Probably best for you to fanboy for another team with so much negativity on BYU

NYC and Japan

Apr 15, 12:13pm

You can talk about realistic expectations. No need to sugarcoat...

WJCougar

Apr 15, 1:46pm

You are way beyond “not sugarcoat” in this thread

NYC and Japan

Apr 15, 6:04pm

Not really. You cannot ignore the truth which is what you are doing

WJCougar

Apr 15, 7:26pm

In places to retire - Kentucky is #50 on the 2024 kiplinger list. There's that.

epcoug

Apr 15, 9:22am

A lake house near a golf course in the Southeast is my dream place to retire.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 15, 11:04am

To replace the 7 Kentucky players in the portal?

dratax

Apr 15, 11:05am

Enemy #1 right now. I'll cheer for him in 6 months when he's done raiding byu

Mostlyaccurate

Apr 15, 9:04am

I have always cheered for Kentucky to lose and that won’t change at all. In fact

Ojiisan

Apr 15, 9:12am

Nope, never will cheer for him. He underperformed here and is screwing us on

wildeone

Apr 15, 9:13am

This won’t affect CBers strange love affair for the guy

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 15, 9:05am

Why are our guys who didn’t get past the first round now going to win him an NC?

Heath Squashwell

Apr 15, 9:06am

He just wants a few. Not all.

Don Carlton

Apr 15, 9:07am

Fair question....I think Jax could play at UK and Chandler but not in year 1

kansascougar

Apr 15, 9:08am

They'll be bench players.

BlueFever

Apr 15, 9:09am

We already had Khalifa listing Kentucky and we assume Robinson and Chandler will get dialed. Kentucky

mokelembembe

Apr 15, 9:08am

Yup, I'm guessing Pope's list is Robinson, Khalifa, and Chandler.

CPAcoug87

Apr 15, 9:10am

And Saunders

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 9:13am

I don't see the Saunders thing happening.

CPAcoug87

Apr 15, 9:16am

Money talks

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 9:17am

I don’t see it happening either, but not because Saunders isn’t good enough

PumaFanatico

Where is this Hall "list" that's been posted?

Cougs2012

Apr 15, 9:19am

Not sure there is a particular order to the list, but USU and Utah being on it

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 15, 1:50pm

I got flamed last night for saying this

whoneedscorners?

Apr 15, 9:11am

It's very low budget and cowardly to not say goodbye and to steal BYU players on

I believe that I've seen every coach that has left BYU attempt to recruit former

AF_Puma

Apr 15, 9:20am

U hit the nail on the head. Modern sport is all about "justification"

Happy As Larry

I hope he is out of a job in 3 years

Flattering that BYU has players good enough not just to play on top D1 teams but

Ripliancum

Apr 15, 9:46am

He brought UVU guys when he came here, he'll take BYU guys when he leaves

ryebrye

Apr 15, 9:49am

And our new coach with bring in guys from wherever he comes from

CoolB

Apr 15, 10:31am

If Pope is going for BYU players, then UK fans have a right to be "concerned."

BYUHgrad

Apr 15, 9:49am

How to say "I know nothing of the Kentucky situation and didn't watch Pope's

I 1000% blame Pope. To Pope: Don't let the door hit you in the keister.

DazeofBlue

Apr 15, 10:00am

Of course he will recruit guys to Kentucky.

Big-Q

Apr 15, 10:41am

RE: Well, I can confirm with 100% certainty Pope is actively recruiting our guys

LHA

Apr 15, 10:59am

Probably wants a few guys who know his system and can help install it there

ConnCoug

Apr 15, 11:03am

His system is jacking up 3s

WJCougar

Apr 15, 11:34am

Can you say how many, and whether any are new signees?

CLCougar

Apr 15, 11:04am

BYU better hire a head coach. This is a Holmoe issue not a Pope issue.

EDthoracotomy

Apr 15, 11:42am

Why was it OK for Pope to bring UVU players to BYU but not to Kentucky?

flyzag

Apr 15, 12:11pm

Who said it wasn't?

kansascougar

Apr 15, 12:18pm

I'm OK with him bringing all the UVU players he wants to Kentucky.

Steve Cleveland brought players to BYU with him.

Lol..it was from Fresno City Community College that wasn't a four year institution. Little different

CLCougar

Apr 15, 1:24pm

In principle, how?

CatamountFan

Apr 15, 1:44pm

If they can only play 2 years at a community College, how is that "taking" players from FCCC? They have to go

CLCougar

Apr 15, 2:33pm

This is just how the game is played. It will soon pass.

inertiaman

I do blame Pope, if he is indeed recruiting our players. Why should he do that.

If Pope has any allegiance it is to his players that he recruited and if he
