As the UK newcomer said, the walls of the Joe Craft Center — where the team practices — are adorned with banners commemorating each of the program’s eight national titles. Under Calipari, those same walls also featured giant poster cards for each of his former players in the NBA. Those player cards are gone. Still, the visual is striking to anyone who’s spent much time in that gym over the past decade. And featuring team success over individual achievements certainly aligns with the message Pope has been sending this offseason. “If a player can’t see something bigger than himself, he’s not my guy,” he said, matter-of-factly.
Pope expounded on that declaration by saying that he and his staff would be looking for players who want to form connections on the court, first and foremost. Individual accolades, he said, would follow. ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/mark-pope-looking-uk-basketball-080000821.htmlrr |

Tired of Marxists. Especially ones that show disdain for our fans and our programs history and disrespect for our American flag.
As far as I'm concerned, one of the heads of the 3 headed Marxist dragon was removed from our state with the exit of the snake oil salesman.

As UK fans we have had our fill of players who think they are bigger than the words KENTUCKY across their chest. I am thankful the player cards of NBA players are gone. We are the University of Kentucky Wildcats. That is who we promote. |

Do we have Ne have any commitments ? Concerns me There's lots of things to be concerned about, recruiting by Mark Pope isnt one of them. My only thing is the letter I sent Mark Pope about that magic product that puppet President did to grow 5 inches recently. I asked Mark if he would call DC to find out what this was, so all our players can grow 5 inches like the meat puppet did. |

Recruiting at UK was never a problem---and will never be a problem with POPE in charge.
