You couple the article, Scriptures I provided and this recent article, and you got something possibly major in the works. jpost.com/middle-east/sa…

JUST IN - Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is in a critical condition — NBC

@BigBlueDude_ Mark Pope

Would you all rather Mark Pope work out or him fail and potentially get a Billy Donovan or Jai Lucas at head coach?

🚨#BREAKING: President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will be taking control of Cuba almost immediately

@TristanUda The name says it all. Lol

Most people with a brain thought Kentucky was a Final Four favorite last offseason. The reality was far from that. I’m just saying, let’s see. If you want to be negative before a team plays a game, that’s your power to do so.

@TristanUda Yessir. And for fans like me, I know things have changed and there is more balance. I just want to enjoy my state's team without all the bashing and name calling. Criticism when there is ok, but good knight. I want the experts to help me see their strengths.

In 2024, Kentucky had a starting five that began their careers at SDSU, BYU, OU, Delaware, & Drexel. Fully healthy, they beat the eventual national champs and were Elite 8 caliber. If that roster were built this offseason, it would likely be criticized. Not saying this year's team will succeed or fail, just saying maybe we should let it play out.

@BleedBNetwork And it's happening. New AD by fall, and I thought the President is stepping down.

The current administration doesn’t have the creativity or imagination to pull this off. Full house cleaning, from the president through the entire athletic department must happen.

@KentuckyF34638 I want so bad to root for my nerdy coach. Sometimes this hate is too much. I'm disappointed too, but if he can do this then let's roll with it. I wonder how many would say what they write to the people to their face?

With no real superstar. This isn't that bad

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump confirms he's RELEASING UFO files and that it's about to get "interesting" "They saw things that you wouldn't believe, so you're going to be reading about it!" "I think we're going to be releasing as much as we can in the near future for some reason. And I guess it's just a reason it's been in the minds of people for a long time." "And that is such they want to find out about the UFOs and anything having to do with UFO or related material." "And we're going to be releasing a lot of things from that we have. I think some of it's going to be very interesting to people." "I've interviewed people, my first term primarily, but I interviewed some pilots, very solid people." @RapidResponse47

@JDSHELBURNE @CoachMarkPope Thank you for being a good fan. Gosh, this can be stressing, but some of you need to go plant a garden and let Pope get this right.

To be fair, Coach Cal has been a head coach for 38 years and Pope only 9. Mark is only one title away from tying him. Give Mark more time. Success comes with experience. He will achieve it . @CoachMarkPope

@LiveBlue06 Thank you. Yes--let Pope do it his way. Every coach has his own system, and if the injuries did not happen, we would be talking different now. I am frustrated too, but Pope is here now, and he needs our support. If he crashes, let him, but we can at least support they guy.

Just a thought, but maybe Pope has to do this his way, not Pitino’s way, not the Cal way. He pivoted last year (MISTAKE) and is trying to right the ship. This is narrative I’m running with. Trust the guy to do his job, his way. #GoCats #BBN #Pope 🔵⚪️🏀

@Aaron_Torres You need to push for the Saturday before or after Thanksgiving, a triple header, with UK/UL Football, UK/UL men's basketball, and UK/UL women's basketball.

What has long been rumored in UConn circles is now official: UConn vs. Duke. In Vegas. Night before Thanksgiving. Premiere college hoops matchup. I'd also be on the lookout for a MEGA game for UConn on opening night. Maybe a team you recently saw them play in Indy 😉😉

@thetrillbillies @Slogs1231 Israel does have a league, and if the right man is there, then why does that matter if he plays in that or in other countries. Hey, I am going to let Pope prove us on the court, and right now, I don't think any of us know how this will turn out. That is all I am saying.

@Slogs1231 @pastorbrianrobe Hahaha yeah I think you could find a big getting you 8 and 4 in the euro league without going to an apartheid state

Well if I wasn’t out on Pope after yesterday I am now

@KyTomCat33 I don't remember Calipari talking every week. Twitter has made this much harder on coaches because people want instant feedback.

I'm wondering how Pope makes it through the year at UK. Is he just gonna avoid the fans, or will he spend most of his time out of state with recruiting duties?

@thetrillbillies That is your opinion, which respectively I believe is incorrect. He is Brazilian, I believe. I am going to give Pope some grace here, and see what he puts on the court. If it is trash, then new AD will get his man this time next year. If it is great, then he learned.

@pastorbrianrobe It’s the going to a country that runs an open air concentration camp and has murdered hundreds of thousands of innocents in the last few years that I’m against—not critiquing his scouting

@gjc856 @BRamseyKSR Correct. Keegan Brown is in the mix this time. We can tell that there is more scrutiny with these players than last year, and that is a plus. Maybe some of these stars are too much for themselves. Get the right stars who are team players.

@pastorbrianrobe @BRamseyKSR I am high on this team as well but we definitely need a star or two. I don’t think we have that.

I've been PLENTY negative about Kentucky's recruiting situation over the last 12+ hours. However, I'm not going to pile on about Coach Pope's current trip to Israel. Making fun of Márcio Santos' stats simply shows you don't understand international basketball. Yes, he averages 8.4 points & 4.1 rebounds per game. However, he was a solid rotation player (what he would be asked to be at Kentucky) in the EuroLeague which is the highest level of basketball competition in the world outside of the NBA/Olympics. You now who averages 9.1 & 5.4 for Maccabi Tel Aviv? TJ Leaf...who averaged 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game as a freshman at UCLA and was the #18 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

@RowlandRIVALS Honestly, I am holding my judgment until all pieces are final. Something about Stokes doesn't sit right. The dude is all about himself which may be his strong suit, but it smells like Peterson all over again. Pope is not Calipari so Pope you get the team you need to win big.

This is historic. Mark Pope becomes the first Kentucky basketball coach to recruit in a ceasefire zone.

@byronbellamy @wildcatnews @Seckatz He was pretty good. I get the last few years were not to standard, but he was a pretty good coach. You can't deny that. Always made the tournament, and if it wasn't for Bogans injury and Michigan State two more final fours would be in his resume.

@pastorbrianrobe @wildcatnews @Seckatz Tubby was never great

Why?

@wildcatnews @Seckatz I remember Tubby did not have the 5 stars like other programs and had some really great years. I want to see what he comes up with. He has a really good roster. He is visiting international studs at the moment. Ok, maybe Stokes is too toxic. Time will tell.

@Seckatz Why not?
