Three 6-11 guys with strength and maturity. No more lawnmowers that get pushed around.

Good point. Dalton Knecht should be a portal pick. I've seen him projected there.

Knecht at 12

We land Brea, Jaxson, and the mystery guy and we've got the #1 class locked up.

We will see how it works out. With Pope's style of ball we will need depth.
He has complimentary pieces, good defenders, good Bigs, good guards. Need more shooters and a slasher or two.

But we were ranked number 1 class last year and three guys may go in the first round yet lost ten games and lost to Oakland. Didn't have defenders or strong Bigs on that team. Need a good blend.

Pope isn't going for numbers. He is going for guys that fit his style and will play hard. Up tempo, balls to the walls. He wants to win games, not have the most lottery picks.

He started from scratch, it may take a while, but I like him. He answers questions, doesn't bullshite and has humility.

There's a difference between having the #1 freshmen and #1 experienced class.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Kentucky’s 78th nationally ranked recruiting class?


My thought is I had no idea Arkansas fans thought so much of Kentucky's former coach. I cannot recall even one Arkansas fan bloviating on and on about how great Cal was before this month.

Are there any other coaches in the SEC that you are secretly pining for?

Can I interest you in a coach with a Sunbelt championship pedigree?

Cal left Kentucky on his own to Arkansas. Kentucky was not going to pay that buyout just to end up hiring Mark freakin’ Pope. Cal could’ve coached at Kentucky for a few more years, at least.

What’s amusing is the delusion from Kentucky fans. They really thought Billy Donovan or Dan Hurley were going to leave their jobs just because it’s Kentucky.

Once again, Kentucky fans were the first ones to talk shite after Muss left and our coaching search.

Then , Cal left Kentucky on his own to Arkansas. Kentucky fans were all mad and upset that he left them even though they act like they’re glad he left. They’re still talking about him.

Arkansas fans only started talking shite to Kentucky fans when it was their turn for a coaching search, and they thought they were hiring Donovan, Hurley, Drew, Oates. Only to end up hiring Mark Pope.

I will say it’s time for the pissing match to be over with.

This is demonstrably false. When Barnhart publicly stated he would not be dismissed, there was a collective groan heard across the Bluegrass.

You bought a used Camaro. Stop pretending its a new Corvette.

Kentucky is still going to finish above Arkansas in the standings so I don’t get this flex by Arkansas fans.

Three guard lineups are very common because they are effective.

But Kentucky may be the first to try a three center lineup.

The other schools that were on Garrison weren’t gonna overpay like UK did

Brea is running out of chairs during this musical chairs session, UK is clearly a fall back option for him.

Lmfao at that absurd spin. Gonna be hilarious watching reality sink in on Arkansas' shitty fanbase over the course of the season. You got beat. Deal with it.

"HURR DURR JERRY JONES WILL PAY DOUBLE FOR ANY RECRUIT KENTUCKY WANTS HERP DERP"

"WE DIDNT WANT TO OVERPAY THIS GUY HERP DERP"

That's how fricking retarded you Arkansas idiots are.
