@BBN4_L We aren’t getting either my man. When are our fans going to realize that this bald motherfucker cannot recruit?

Kentucky is pursuing Paulius Murauskas as hard as they are pushing for anyone. Arizona State will be tough to beat for him, they have funds, and his old coach, AZ State leads here but Kentucky isn’t far behind. Staff seems to value him more than Freeman.

@uktorv @ballknowerUK We’ve been linked to the kid for over two years… zoom meetings, etc so we clearly wanted him… why is Pope still recruiting guys that don’t fit? It’s all about perception here
English
@bada_bing4 @ballknowerUK Im not happy with how Pope is moving rn but the Pate situation is not a whiff at all to me
- not even sure he will be eligible
- i dont even like his game that much (i have prior tweets)
Frank Sobotka@ReturnOfTheCats
Dink Pate is 348th in defensive rating, 543rd in +/-, and 500th in rating in the G-league in 50 games this season. Absolute nightmare scenario potential Kentucky pickup for me. -11.1 Net Rating, -7.2 +/- Yuck
English
Kentucky has better (and maybe cheaper) options in the portal IMO
And they don’t have eligibility questions
We move!

BREAKING: Westchester Knicks guard Dink Pate has committed to Providence, his agent Sam Permut of @RocNationSports told ESPN. G-League star turned down two-way and 10-day opportunities to maintain eligibility. Former top-30 recruit is averaging 16.0 PPG this season.
English
@ReturnOfTheCats @uktorv @ballknowerUK It’s more of a perception thing… why were so heavily involved with him if he’s an awful fit? Against this goes back to Pope being somewhat clueless here guys
English
@uktorv @bada_bing4 @ballknowerUK He would’ve been an awful fit, would’ve disrupted the flow of the whole offense and been a traffic cone on defense
English
@GlassDonnie @Tyler_Weeks12 We’re going to realize this off-season that Pope just flat out cannot recruit at this level. Like we had a blank check last year and only could close on our 2nd/3rd options. It’s a wrap folks
English
@Tyler_Weeks12 22 million in potential doesn’t get it done. As you can see their cleaning house. Now we need Pope to close on some DUDES.
English
@ballknowerUK @uktorv It’s 100% a cope… Pope continues to whiff on targets that we clearly wanted. Nightmare man, nightmare.
English
@uktorv Man this is starting to feel like cope. I’m getting a bad feeling already.
And I 100% wouldn’t be worried at this point if we didnt just have this past season.
English
@KentuckyHQ Still a whiff no matter how you look at it… fucking tired of the BS man
English
I know people will lose their minds over this but this means 1 thing is clear… his eligibility is not a lock. Providence can afford to swing and miss if he’s declared ineligible. Pope can’t.

@VilleVibesOnly @PolacheckKSR @HillJrTerrence @KSRonX Hahah you’re out of your mind if you think pope can land this dude
English
@PolacheckKSR @HillJrTerrence @KSRonX Damn I hate this, I really like Terrence Hill Jr.. good get for Pope and crew if they land him

NEW: VCU guard Terrence Hill Jr. has been hearing from Kentucky's Mark Pope and Cody Fueger since hitting the portal.
The March Madness hero talked with KSR+ about Kentucky, his historic performance, and future plans.

@BigBlueCarti It’s not happening big dog… would love to be wrong here but Pope can’t recruit that level of talent
English
@AreYouJokingMe @yeaALA18 @BuckeyeNatty Your team’s record against the conference begs to differ. Or y’all are just overrated as fuck… one of the two
English
@yeaALA18 @BuckeyeNatty Not really, your conference is overrated as fuck
English
These former Bama guys are just dragging their nuts on Kalen DeBoer’s program
There’s no way it was like this under Nick Saban

@ryanhammer09 Kentucky would blast that Baylor team… Don’t forget Kentucky won 38 games that year
English
I base this for each team relative to their season. Hypothetical H2H, Michigan/UConn beat them all bc of size but the sport has changed & trended that way.
If you know me you know I will die on the 2021 Baylor hill. If it wasn't for COVID they would have been like 34/35-0 instead of 28-2 I swear.
The teams have gotten better and better over the years, the plays a huge role but 2012 Kentucky is the one team from 10+ years ago that I think dominates in the modern sport also. Insane team
English
The 5 best national champions since 2010:
1. 2021 Baylor
2. 2024 UConn
3. 2012 Kentucky
4. 2018 Villanova
5. 2026 Michigan

Who was the last men’s college basketball player before Alex Karaban to play in 3 Final Fours?
English
@kentuckyhoopsig Stop tweeting… apparently the recruits won’t commit because of It
English
The most under appreciated player in Cal’s time at Kentucky.

Doron Lamb let 'em hang in the 2012 NCAA title game.

@DougieGraves69 @JonasJarnagin @RoushKSR Oh right because a bunch of burner accounts are airing their grievances after we lose 14 games in a season? Get the fuck outta here. The coaches and players aren’t coming close to living up to the standard and we’re sick of it. Happens at every blue blood fanbase
English
If you think Kentucky is the only crazy college fanbase out there, go take a stroll on Vol Twitter, see how things are down on The Plains.
Don’t be naive. The internet is a wild place. If you don’t like what you see, log off.
Thrill Keightley@Cincitucky1
Hearing that both Mark Pope and John Calipari have privately vented that UK’s fanbase has negatively affected recruiting since 2020. Other schools use the fanbase and the negativity against UK and it has cost multiple elite recruits.
English
@kentuckyfan32 @TomLeachKYFan Aden was a starter and real contributor on that Auburn team though… Jasper just isn’t physically ready and doesn’t have the basketball IQ to flourish
English
@StockTalks21 @Marstucky This is completely targeting Kentucky fans… every fanbase does this wtf
English
@Marstucky That’s not the point. The point are fans being irrational at all times.
English
Every single Kentucky fan was bragging & salivating at his talent early in the season.
Then all of a sudden they all turned on him & declared him an awful player.
This is what I mean by emotional fan bias.
Jonathan Givony@DraftExpress
NEWS: Kentucky's Jasper Johnson, a five-star recruit in the class of 2025, plans to enter the transfer portal, a source told DraftExpress. Johnson will be represented by CAA Basketball.

@BarstoolUK Really doubting we’ll every get to experience this again… 😔
English
@tsnmike Evan is a very well known Kentucky hater so the fact that he didn’t mention that game is confusing…
English
Evan--
Duke 104, Kentucky 103 happened in the Elite Eight.
Evan Miyakawa@EvanMiya
Quite simply the greatest game you will ever see in the Elite 8. Braylon Mullins with one of the greatest shots in NCAA history. You can't make this stuff up. UConn had a 1.7% chance of winning this game.
English
@ColonelLamb20 @uktorv We gotta get off our high horse man… clearly aren’t the program we once were… this man would be our starting PG 100% and we’ll be a 6-8 seed In the tournament. That is our new reality unfortunately
English
It is very early, but if UK were to add Finley Bizjack I would need to try really hard to like the addition
Jacob Polacheck@PolacheckKSR
NEW: Kentucky is expected to be involved with Butler guard Finley Bizjack this offseason, sources tell KSR. Bizjack was named to the All-Big East Third team after averaging 17.1 points per game this season. on3.com/teams/kentucky…
