I think this will be a great edition
Hardly any of the media are giving KY and Pope any credit.
UK fans will love this guy if he plays all 4 years and especially ends up contributing well in games. Uk fans will cheer a little louder cause hes from kentucky every time he scores
Maybe one more pg and a couple role players
Kentucky has experience on and off the court, Coach Mark Pope can go big with height or go small with speed and shooting…Go Cats!!!
Boogie fland is the walmart brand Rob Dillingham. Johnell Davis is no where near what Antonio Reeves was last year. The difference is truly Adou Thiero, that's why I wanted him to go literally anywhere else. But in great Calipari fashion, 0 urgency to guard high ball screens will be their downfall. The players were never the issue, we had the best every year…
Do you think the “dribble drive” will actually hurt Arkansas as it did when Cal was at UK?
Gaslighting like the media always does and they think no one can see it.
Calipari…lets just say it. Good recruiter, good self-promoter, doesn't care about the SEC tourney, doesn't care about March. He is just NOT a good x/o guy. Not a good tactician and its showed more than once. Wisconsin anyone? West Virginia?
This team has 3 guys over 6’10. The next tallest? Noah. This team needs 1-2 bigs to round this out. They have no back up for Carr at PF.
The best edition to ARK is Kenny Pain. Love UK being underestimated, less pressure and shorter ceiling. If Pope just coaches the system, he had BYU with far better players. There is no way we are not competitive.
I was gonna wish Arkansas fans well, but they have become insufferable bunch. The same ones who dogged us last 6 years now claim cal is great coach. They wanna dog coach pope. When they lose 12 games and go home early, i will be laughing at them.
I've watched a lot of videos on this guy the last two days and am super impressed. Just an incredibly beautiful jumper form-wise and percentage-wise. Physically great size at 6'6" 210. The dude has tree trunks for thighs. When he was a younger player he was more of a passing point guard who got huge and is now more of a small forward. UK needs to develop him some. He went to a little poe-dunk county high school, not a fancy basketball academy or private school. Get him in leaner and faster, quicker doing all those goofy drills with the tennis balls to speed up the reflexes and hand/eye coordination. Probably won't crack the rotation next year, but will definitely be a solid role-player in 2026 and could even see him being a star as an upperclassman.
He the Pope knows Kentucky basketball! Noah is awesome! I’m in Florida saying this and have been a Wildcat fan since about 1984. So there you go.
Butler would lockup Davis as he did in the final four and he would lock up boogie fland
Amari would lock up aidoo
Carr is a better version of big z
We have shooters everywhere hogs don’t have a lot of shooters as of now, we have more depth, also cal basically has the same team as he did last year with the exception of Davis a aidoo, his best 3 scorers was Reed, reeves and Dillingham, he no longer has that. Hogs fans are gonna learn real quick cal isn’t a very good coach. We dealt with it for 15 years. Just wait and see
WAY too many white dudes on this team to trust them to win anything. Just being honest with y'all. They won't win more than 10 games this year. Cal will kill Pope head to head. Let's be real about this.
I graduated from Harlan county highschool as a member of the first graduating class in 09 and as someone who moved away from Harlan county and hasn't stayed in touch with news from back home this was a pleasant surprise i would like to say congratulations to the Harlan county black bears and to Mr Noah and Go big blue sincerely

Wonder if Pope is open to playing zone
So, if the college basketball conference schedule is 90-95% the same UK loses at least 4 games. The non conference college schedule is too early to predict. Based on the current roster as is we should expect 4-8 losses in Coach Mark Pope's year one. Have to wait and see who UK picks up player wise between now and October. It could be a special first season, barring injuries and not adding any other players.
Welcome to bbn 😊 💙🤍💪😺👍

Lance, enjoy the comments. I am wondering if Pope dived into all the reasons BYU lost in the first round and how UCONN, NCSTATE etc advanced in the final 4? Is this UK roster built on the holes that were missed on the BYU team? Can this squad reach the final 8 or beyond? Go CATS
I agree that Lamont Butler will probably start
Cal is a good guy, a great salesman, an excellent recruiter but a mediocre coach. His X’s and O’s skills are outdated and he is too set in his ways.
Mark Pope is an analytical genius and a great coach. He’s a superior coach to Cal.
Mark Pope is going to be a two time legend at UK when he retires from coaching.
PJ Washington born in Louisville. It hasn’t been 9 years.
Signing the #1 & #5 All-time leading scorers in KY high school basketball history in the same class. 🤯
If we don’t end up getting Chaz or Robinson (God I hope that’s not the case) the possibility of Trent switching between the 2 and 3 will drastically increase as you said. Collin could then sit behind brea and learn some game from him and same with Trent sitting behind Otega. Trent doesn’t need to necessarily need to learn how to shoot like Otega, but if he can learn how to be quick and attack the basketball more effectively and increase his defense,I think we can develop these 3 freshman into amazing players in the coming years. Great video as always lance!
Aaron Torres ranked KY at 15 in pre-season
What are we doing about a poer forward?
