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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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

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

Apr 15, 9:17am
I don’t see it happening either, but not because Saunders isn’t good enough

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

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

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

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.

Of course he will recruit guys to Kentucky.

ConnCoug

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.

In principle, how?

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

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

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