If Pope has to rely on top LDS kids after this year, he’s done.

Bring in 5 blue chip guys. Have 2 RMs that have shown to be solid players at BYU

Pope couldn't even get all the best LDS talent to come to BYU.

Jabari Parker went to Duke. I don't believe he had an LDS coach there.

Not the point. High 4 or 5 star LDS recruits are rare and Jabari was one of them

I think Pope and BYU won't cross paths too often in recruiting.

He's at UK. He's not gonna be recruiting in Utah unless it's a very exceptional recruit. I'd be much more concerned

The sales pitch UK fans were sold on with Popey is that he "did more with less" talentwise at BYU for them to play

What we've seen so far is that Pope has tried to get kids he already recruited

yup, have to hope he bombs hard. Need him taking a step-down job at a non...
