How long does he get to be contender and will he get the players. Should be good year 1 after we build a roster. 4 million dollars already pledged for player salaries and there are no salary caps.

...he's worn the Kentucky uniform....he's won a championship here...he's heard the blue raining down....he's excited and ready to prove himself....he UNDERSTANDS Kentucky Basketball...he WANTS to be here.....he was coached by rickyP.........
...does this guarantee a championship?....no it doesn't.....but it's one dam helluva start to getting back to Kentucky Basketball and a coach who wants to coach the front of the jersey, NOT the name on the back....he wants what is BEST for UK, NOT what is best for the players.......i'm stoked, back it 100%, and can't wait till Big Blue Madness...
...i feel very rejuvenated!....there is a new HOPE!....with Pope!.........................

Same here Riley! Pope gets UK and it's in his blood. We may hit a rough patch or two, but I like his philosophy of keeping players around more than 4 months. I'm looking forward to maybe following a player or two developing over the course of a few years. What a concept - not having to learn an entirely new roster every year! Goodbye AAU ball and hello real college basketball.
Also love his quote about being a CEO of the franchise and how it's much better to be a college coach than a pro "Caretaker". This guy truly gets it in a way Donut forgot (or perhaps never really knew). Mark Pope - welcome home son!

Well, after sleeping on it, I'm with you all. He knows what it means and will put the name on the front first. I'm excited to see what he can do with the full force of the program behind him. The offense is there. Recruit well and actually play defense, as opposed to this past year, and we'll be fine I think. Plus the coach at St. Johns is a little less dead to me today!
