presser was fantastic. Now time to get players out of the portal we can score the basketball and play D.
Lots of 4-star players in the portal who would fit his system perfectly.
Time to nail them down

I haven’t got a chance to watch it yet, but am feeling butterflies in my stomach and getting all pumped up with pride just reading all these comments. I am anxious to get you take after you watch it. It was a game changer for me. I finally watched the Coach Mark Pope introduction, and let me say, it was fantastic! As I have stated, He would not have been my top choice. With that said, I am 100% on board with Pope. He addressed the state of the program. And honestly, I was very impressed with questions that were asked by the local media. I felt like he addressed all the concerns we have talked about here. He did it in a way that rallied the entire BBN. I was also kinda impressed with how Barny approached the situation as well (can't believe I said that). You could just feel the passion coming thru the speakers and it made my eyes water several times. I love that he addressed how he is a tireless worker. We know he is an incredibly smart individual. He is going to use what he learned from Pitino (YES!). With all that said, let's not just talk about it, lets be about it. The wagons are circled, lets fight our way out. Let's Go!!! |

Good comments and I am on board. Let's do circle the wagons. It is UK fans against everybody else, always has been but now more than ever. If Mark Pope turns out to be the perfect coach for UK, then I will forgive Barney for a lot of his stupid acts in the past. I understand he has not been on good terms with Begok for years and you know he regrets the stupid contract given to the POS. Word is Barney is at the end of the line for his job and will be retiring soon.
The success or non success of Mark Pope will be his lasting legacy. I want Mark Pope to be as successful as our coach as he has been in life. And his life so far has been a model one. Smart, NCAA Champion, pro-player and married to a beautiful woman with four beautiful daughters. And with all of that he has a deep, eternal love for Kentucky. I am ready for the future. |

I feel the same way about barny. He has done some really dumb stuff over the past 20 years. He has hurt UK as much or more as he helped no doubt. But if Pope is successful barny can be forgiven. |
