@GetMoTheCloser @bradwildcats08 @KentuckyMBB @CoachMarkPope The problem is you're right, that's exactly what they'll be- solid. Meanwhile, Calipari and Louisville are assembling title contending teams with less <= budgets.

@bradwildcats08 @KentuckyMBB @CoachMarkPope I can’t wait for you dipshits to scramble to delete all these posts when our team does in fact turn out to be solid. I’m keep all the receipts though.
English
I can’t wait for @KentuckyMBB to look like a typical @CoachMarkPope team. #BBN that means a mid major team that will easily have double digit losses and a 7-8 seed. Thanks Pope for in fact NOT knowing the assignment and doing your best at lowering the standard

He would be a very solid pickup. Don’t hate until you watch his game

RUMOR: UT-Martin SF Andrija Bukumirović has received some interest from Kentucky, multiple sources tell me. Still trying to get 100% confirmation from his agent, will update. • 13.8p • 7.8r • 1.0a • 1.2s/0.9b • 52/36/58 (47 3PM) #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

It's crazy to me how some people will know nothing about a potential recruit, but they still automatically say something like, "well he'd be the backup here..." I mean, he might be the backup, but how can that be assumed?
English
Kentucky will need to fill their remaining spots with one of:
Reclass Ryan Hampton
Milan Momcilovic
And one of:
Wini Silva
other international big
shot blocking transfer big
This gets me bought back in:
Zoom/Morton
Wilkins/Kam
Hampton/Hawthorne
Milan/McBride
Moreno/Ndiaye

@matti99661 Mark Pope isn't good enough to win with the 40th best roster, simple as that.
English
What's facts is that a lot of these sunshine pumpers argument is always the same... Kentucky does have a standard and coach cal was the reason standards got raised so high... fans are spoiled mark pope is everything coach cal isn't and that's a final four coach.
Frank Sobotka@ReturnOfTheCats
This is the best point I’ve seen about Kentucky’s roster. Yes Kentucky could be better than some people expect, but this is Kentucky, you’re not supposed to be the scrappy underdog hoping to surprise people.

@WeareManC1ty What he really means is Bayern can literally rest their first team and still win the Bundesliga, Arsenal are forced to play their top players every match to still compete in the premier league and over time that takes its toll.
English
Games played:
Arsenal - 46
Bayern - 44
Psg - 48
Minutes played:
Arsenal - 4,140
Bayern - 3,960
Psg - 4,320.
Bayern has played similar amount of minutes to Arsenal, Psg have actually played more.
Stop the excuses for your terrible style of football.
Sky Sports News@SkySportsNews
"Bayern PSG was probably the best game I've ever witnessed, but when I look at the amount of minutes I'm not surprised" 🤔 Mikel Arteta says it's "night and day" when it comes to the freshness of his players compared to Bayern Munich and PSG.
English
@Monty4033 I pray he does, wish I was more optimistic. Trilly said they had $14m for Tounde and Momcilovic-- Say $7m for Momcilovic, should have $7m for Santos/Hampton or maybe I'm crazy.
English
@Monty4033 Momcilovic, Santos, Hampton commit/reclass and I'm back baby!
English
The only thing that can buy me back in just a little on Pope is land MIlan and immediately a hire a full time GM.
Both must happen.

NEW: Iowa State Transfer SF Milan Momcilovic is going through The NBA Draft Process, while maintaining his college eligibility in The Transfer Portal. #2 ranked player in the portal. (247) • 16.9p • 3.1r • 51/49/88 (136 3PM) • 30.3mpg • DBPM: 2.9 There was speculation about a zoom call with Milan this week, I’ve been told that no zoom call took place, and nothing has been scheduled yet. Quote to me from a source on Milan’s situation: “Milan is fully focused on preparing for his Individual Workouts, The Combine, and The NBA Draft. Kentucky has reached out to his agent, but Milan will not be talking to any schools personally until he makes his decision on whether he wants to return to school.” Asked him how many schools they’ll consider: “Kentucky is 1 of a handful of schools they’ll talk too” My assumption is, his agent will be doing negotiations with schools during the process, when Milan makes a decision, there will be 3+ schools ready to zoom, who are willing to pay the asking price, then go from there. Kentucky will be one of them, im told. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@denitruesdaren I stud and were top 25, we need two if we want to compete in a second/third weekend
English
What this screams to me is that Mark Pope can't get multiple 3- $7m caliber players to commit to him so he's gonna spread $1-3m amongst 12 players and maybe get one dude. That is a recipe to be a mid-tier SEC team if I've ever seen one, last year's results incoming.
English
PG: Zoom Diallo, Jerone Morton
SG: Alex Wilkins, Braydon Hawthorne
SF: *we will see*, Kam Williams
PF: Ousmane Ndiaye, Justin McBride
C: Malachi Moreno, *international*
Depth: Mason Williams, Trent Noah, Reece Potter, Zyon Hawthorne
English
@MattSakR2NG Running out of spots for star caliber players, another year of 12 role players.
English
BOOOOOOM!!!!
Point Guards in 2025-26:
- Jaland Lowe
Point Guards in 2026-27:
- Zoom Diallo
- Alex Wilkins
- Mason Williams
- Jerone Morton

WELCOME HOME, JERONE!!! Kentucky gets a shooter 🎯

@RickyB_official Damn right, we'd getting shit on by Oakland in the first round too. Getting players wasn't the problem 😂

@dogtowndynasty @JoeTipton @Rivals @ObinnaEkezieJr Just curious, why couldn't they play together some? Condon is 6'11 250, shot under 20% and Chinyelu shot 0% from 3. Mara and Johnson combined for 15 3'd for their entire career and those front courts just won the last 2 titles... Double big seems like a winning formula.
English
@dogtowndynasty @JoeTipton @Rivals @ObinnaEkezieJr Not sure why he couldn't go to any of those schools this year lol
English
NEWS: 5⭐️ Obinna Ekezie Jr. is down to five schools, his agency THE·TEAM told @Rivals.
The 7-foot center is the No. 2 overall player in the 2027 class and is a potential reclass candidate.

@KentuckyHQ A) Nike can't dictate that legally, they can't write that language into their deals.
B) You're presuming Nike had the power, the shoe companies were lining up for his signature- it wasn't like he wasn't begging Nike to sign him.
English
@KentuckyHQ What do you want them to do? Recruit for Kentucky as well? Duke doesn't have a problem getting te recruits, neither does Arkansas- the problem isn't Nike it's the coach.
English
UK should be shopping around for a new apparel sponsor. Nike hasn’t done anything for us in 5+ years.
English
Stefan is a beast, Really a must get for Pope and the staff!!!!
tanin smith #BBN@TaninSmithKK
Milan Momcilovic or Stefan Joksimovic are the only 2 players that would make me feel better about missing on Stokes Momcilovic is very unlikely, but we might have a real shot at Stefan Can Pope close on a recruitment of that caliber? He hasn’t proved that he can. We shall see
English
@absolutesbt @Joe_Olivier_ Because if City were in the Champions League Finals as well they'd be complaining about how they have to play the FA Cup final right before the CL final-- they can't change finals dates and it's easier to deconflict with larger tournaments hosting it earlier.
English
@Joe_Olivier_ Why didn’t they just play the Fa Cup Final after the Premier League season ends ?? 🤬💵
English
Do you know what could’ve been done to help this issue?
DON’T PLAY THE FA CUP FINAL BEFORE THE SEASONS OVER.
City Xtra@City_Xtra
#ManCity are in negotiations with the Premier League over switching the order of Crystal Palace (H) and Bournemouth (A) either side of the FA Cup Final, to give them three matches in eight days rather than seven. [via @Jack_Gaughan] dailymail.com/sport/football…

@thomasjudekish @bigbluekodakk Why does it have to be one or the other, Kentucky needs both.
English
@bigbluekodakk Love Oweh but Stokes could be the best player in CBB next year.
English
I was shocked a couple weeks ago when people on here acting like it was insane to want Stokes over Oweh.
It’s not even a discussion for me.
B☄️@BanteredB_
The voice of Kentucky sports said he’d rather have Oweh than Stokes. Someone save me
