@LockedOnUK I don’t think it’s the money … pope may really be ass at recruiting

Right now, I can’t think of a single player in the transfer portal that I’d rather have over Rob Wright III. Efficient, proven, great playmaker… You HAVE to be willing to spend money here if you’re Mark Pope.

@BBN_Commenter Final 4 or fire his ass

Before we start portal season I want the expectation for 2026-2027 to be set now For Mark Pope to keep his job he needs to do what? For me it’s this, make the weekend of the SEC tournament & a elite 8. The injury excuse doesn’t work 3 yrs in a row for me

@thekyreport Best one I’ve seen yet

Dream Scenario Kentucky Starting 5? PG: Zoom Diallo 6'4 SG: Devin Vanterpool 6'4 SF: Dink Pate 6'8 PF: Donnie Freeman 6'9 C: Malachi Moreno 7'0

@therandomsec Yaxel was never coming to play for Pope

Be weary of what you spend in the portal, but also remember that sometimes the guy you desperately want is worth it. Throwback to Arkansas last year being in Yaxel Lendeborg's top 2 pretty much and wasn't willing to pay the extra dough necessary. Yax pretty much led the wolverines to a natty. It's crucial to not overpay, but to also know when you have to spend BIG. The portal is a hard season for coaches financially.

@therandomsec Pope against cal in recruiting ??? Won’t end well for Pope

Recruiting war between Kentucky and Arkansas over the top guard in the portal? Count me in.

@TorresOnUK @Aaron_Torres In Contact don’t mean shit with Whiff king Pope. He’s gotta prove he can get some big fish before BBN will have any faith in his recruiting abilities

"Credit Mark Pope - point guard HAD to be priority No. 1 this off-season. UK has already reached out to Dedan Thomas Jr., Zoom Diallo and others. Pope is locked in - and at the most important spot of need." - @Aaron_Torres with your Day 1 portal look 📺youtube.com/watch?v=5_he3v…

@SaltyGoat17 A freaked out man

A man....

@sonofabone @AllUKBall_HPS Don’t get your hopes up bud

@AllUKBall_HPS I want Pope to target guys he wants and land them. I don’t care which guys he gets, as long as they fit his system and are his top options. I don’t want another offseason of him losing guys to other teams and winding up with his 3rd options … and no guys coming off injuries

Neoklis Avdalas is the prototypical Mark Pope stretch 4. Outside of PG depth, not having someone like this on the roster is why the offense look so different from year 1. Do whatever you gotta do to land him.

@__NotKG @KentuckyZone Really?? Who’s he landed ??

Mark Pope attacking the portal like a man who knows his job is on the line

@Michael_Bonner @KySportsRadio Agree! Until he proves it, I stand by my statement lol

@gruntwork87 @KySportsRadio I’m not ready to concede that, I DO believe that he got the UK job before he was fully ready for it but that doesn’t mean that he can’t make the necessary adjustments to be successful. He needs to stop making the simple things hard by overthinking. Keep simple shit simple

It can be difficult to really process all the players in the portal and who Kentucky will/won’t get Here is my bottom line. With Moreno/Chandler/Kam back, I want to see Kentucky get at least two REALLY good players, one very solid player and 3-4 guys good at specific roles.

@akafaceUS Beat the hell out of him!!

Volleyball coach arrested for trying to meet up with a minor!

@AndrewMoor48200 @bigbluebosshog Because our head coach is Mark Pope

@bigbluebosshog Why do you doubt it

If we get rob wright (which I doubt) expect a cbb/twitter record amount of account rebrands

@Men_of_KSR Good piece to Add!

Devin Vanterpool Highlights!

@CBeasmoreSports For the love of god pay the kid and give him 35 mins/game.. Pope better get out of his own way or his ass will be back in Utah this time next year

Please, Mark Pope this is your PG1 officially! If Kentucky can get Rob Wright and can continue to build off of Wright, Collin Chandler (as long as he stays), Kam Williams, and Malachi Moreno then you have a squad! 😼 #BBN

@drmikepugh @KySportsRadio Agree Michael … gonna get ugly for pope next winter

@KySportsRadio If those 3 all return and more than one is in the starting 5, we’re in trouble. Again.

@Michael_Bonner @KySportsRadio Well he’s gonna fail bud.. pope is a lost ball in high weeds

@KySportsRadio UK needs size and athleticism to win at the highest level. Hurley like him or not has shown everyone the blueprint of what a championship roster construction LOOKS like. If they don’t physically look like they could play for Dan Hurley or Dusty May then coach Pope failed

@Kybballking Ky too dumb to land a top player.

Ok now Rob is the one to spend money on

@BigBlueDylan These are the exact type guys we’re needing. Who cares if they demand top dollar?? You see what top dollar got Michigan

A Superstar PG has hit the transfer portal. Would assume Kentucky reaches out here, but RW3 Will be in top paid player convos. I still believe theres 1 PG who hasnt announced his intentions yet, who Kentucky is hoping to make a big, big offer to if he does enter the Transfer Portal. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@bbnathletics1 Neither

Could we land Stokes and Dink?

@markstoopswife @TristanUda @goode_desean @anklebully_ant @neoo1721 51st and 85th ranked transfers ..

@gruntwork87 @TristanUda @goode_desean @anklebully_ant @neoo1721 U don’t know anything about them lmao
