Well that sucks.

It’s official. I hate Pope.

Apr 16, 7:04am

He was only okay for BYU, and he's tearing everything he can from BYU on his way

fbguru

Apr 16, 7:05am

Honestly, if he is bringing BYU guys to Kentucky, I love BYU and I love our guys and the perfect for our team, but he is

Apr 16, 7:06am

This one guy is good for Ky.

Madam Pattirini

Apr 16, 7:21am

He did the exact same thing to UVU.

COACHdrn

Apr 16, 8:09am

It is his job.

Plantagenet

I always felt BYU was on the verge of something great with Pope

cougargollum

Apr 16, 9:59am

Add to the list, a couple of losses to the team Pope left, UVU

PumaFanatico

Burning bridges perhaps. May come back to haunt him

niqmadu

Apr 16, 10:55am

Yeah, this does it for me. He can get half a roster of 5-stars every year at Kentucky and he steals the biggest recruit

SingleStrapBackpack

Came here to say the same thing

Nuke

Slimy.

ProvoY

Apr 16, 8:23am

I understand, but I don’t hate Pope over this. If Chandler was a Pope > BYU

palangi

Apr 16, 10:31am

Does that mean Burgess isn't coming? Wasn't previous concern that he'd go to Utah because of Burgess?

Jimo Dashen

Apr 16, 7:04am

Well he is not going to Utah

johnnybyu

Apr 16, 7:10am

No.....he loves Pope and this is Exhibit A. I liked Burgess but CC knows Utah

BYU basketball has been fantastic!

I thought he liked burgess more than pope

Apr 16, 7:20am

FWIW, i've heard for more than a year now that BYU was out of the running

dryflyelk

Apr 16, 7:27am

No they weren't. It's wherever Pope was. Always was that way.

RockyBalboa

Apr 16, 7:35am

it's second hand info, but a good friend spoke to his parents on a regular basis

dryflyelk

Apr 16, 7:52am

He was always going where Pope was. It's that easy and simple.

RockyBalboa

Apr 16, 7:55am

Sounds dangerous to be so loyal to Pope when you won’t be his highest rated guy

palangi

Apr 16, 12:13pm

made up

kansascougar

Apr 16, 10:01am

So he was headed to Utah, but followed Pope to UK? Yeah, your Ute friend was not

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 16, 12:08pm

You are a straight up liar, and a clear Ute troll. Complete BS

CougBlue94

Apr 16, 8:12am

No he’s not. Pope told all of the players that he signed last year through the portal that Chandler wasn’t coming to BYU

Not true at all.....

kansascougar

Apr 16, 10:02am

Not true.

Cougstreak

Apr 16, 10:10am

Im telling you the truth. Pope told the the Parent of a recruit at Chandler wasn’t coming and that

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 10:34am

Those parents were lying or were misinformed. CC was a BYU commit 100% until

kansascougar

Apr 16, 10:46am

This parent is not Lying. Pope is the one with honesty issues.

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 11:13am

Well, its 100% not true. At all. completely false

kansascougar

Apr 16, 11:20am

It’s 100% true that pulp was telling people that.

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 1:58pm

It’s 100% false in relation to what CC was thinking/planning. Don’t care about

kansascougar

Apr 16, 2:16pm

Yes, what pope told them was 100% false. I think Pp has a little Rick Pitino in him

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 4:35pm

This is true

Cougstreak

Apr 16, 11:29am

No, it’s not they weren’t misinformed and they’re not lying. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about when

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 1:59pm

Not true. Maybe Pope gave a different story to the parents and recruit. Check your BM

Cougstreak

Apr 16, 11:28am

Check your board mail what I said is 100% factual and accurate. What you’re saying can also be 100% accurate about

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 2:01pm

In name only he was a Cougar. No loyalty to the school or program

pegushin

Apr 16, 11:16am

Guess this stings a little bit?

millar667

Not true. I know the situation.

Sad for us but a smart move for him.

RE: Sad for us but a smart move for him.

Apr 16, 7:36am

Why?

COACHdrn

Apr 16, 8:05am

I would imagine a chance to play for a blueblood and a national championship

OmahaOmaha

Apr 16, 9:12am

So, exactly how many tourney games has Pope won as coach? Asking for a friend.

Do you want a cookie? I was surprised it did not happen last week

Marc Nope is only in it for Marc Nope. He will chew up and spit out anyone

icecougar

Apr 16, 9:23am

Anyone who said that was misinformed.

kansascougar

Apr 16, 9:30am

If true, this sucks.

BlooCoug

Apr 16, 9:23am

Now, Pope really owes BYU fans a "thank you" . Anyone still want one?

Les IsMore

Apr 16, 9:27am

That ship has sailed. We all know it wouldn’t be sincere. Selfish guy, chased the money, burned the bridge. See ya.

Apr 16, 9:28am

Sarc meter broke today? More's the pity.

Les IsMore

Apr 16, 9:35am

No, I was just saying I don’t want one (a fake “thank you” from Pope)

Apr 16, 10:04am

Mark Pope has crossed a line. He is not a friend in any way, shape of form and

Rocketman

I know Jay Hill did the same thing to Weber State. . . But Pope needs to stop!

Pope is no longer chasing $$, it's now about his legacy

WabiSabi

Apr 16, 9:58am

Pope will do what Bronco did...grab all the good LDS recruits he can

Apr 16, 10:40am

How many did Bronco grab again?

Zoobieman

Apr 16, 10:59am

I think 4-5 at least. For bball a lesser #(1-2)will make an even bigger impact.

Andrew Gentry that is now with Michigan and Wayne Taulapapa (we really could

SoBlueitHurts

I would have loved both those guys too. . . But I don't think BYU was guranteed

I did not say for sure we would get them, but Taulapapa was committed here (I
