A coach that has never won a single game in the NCAA tourney.

They were turned down from their top 5 to 6 choices. I think they were starting to get anxious.

When all the crooks say no, go to one of your guys who runs his program totally diff from your previous guy ... wipe the slate clean, use disinfectant ... and go to work

Pope is a smart dude who the older boosters already know and love - I think this is a hire that will work out for them.

Toxic program with a lot of small town crazy yokels, similar to iu. Not surprised it was passed on by those top level coaches.

Seems like a great hire for them. Somebody who understands BBN who will focus on Kentucky instead of how many guys they can “get into the NBA.”

Agreed— a UK alum who will go thru a brick wall…

Whether that translates into the results they demand down there, is anyone’s guess.

The one and done 8+ guys in and out every year wasn’t working for them

Might as well try something different.
