I don't really get the obsession for UK to hire a GM. I think it would lead to so many conflicts within the chain of command. Just my 2 cents
English
@KySportsRadio Maybe the university is running low on money, they have been spending like drunken sailors!
English
Mark Pope says in his latest video that the will not be hiring a GM and instead are going with a “4 person management team”
Three of those are folks that were already on UK staff or worked for JMI. The other is Keegan Brown
So it looks like no new hire is coming
English
@KySportsRadio maybe he has a budget and the funds are not there
English
I don’t understand not hiring a GM. Pope is basically taking people who already worked at UK and giving them new titles….and then adding an outside analytics guy
It still is missing the key person, the negotiator/Agent connection, that I think has hurt UK
But it’s his call
English
@ButtersBlast @KySportsRadio I’m giving him another year to make it work
English
@rgjarrell @KySportsRadio Wouldnt matter, Pope is on the hot seat, top talent doesnt want to bet their careers playing for that. Pope will have to have a stellar year this year to even have a chance to guys but I'm betting he's done for and his reputation cant be saved.

Interesting article
Says Louisville, Tennessee, Duke and Texas has all already spent over $20 million with 15 schools expected to by beginning of the season

@CoachMarkPope How do you feel about our new roster and any comments about you take on Amazon and Duke teaming up.
Hoping we have a great year ahead of us

@KySportsRadio why not tie up with elon musk , tesla emblems on uniforms, Google emblem on center court for some Nil money
English
I understand why this bothers some people but honestly, I think it’s inevitable
KSR@KSRonX
Historic Memorial Coliseum presented by [corporate sponsor]? It's on the table, as are sponsored uniform patches, as Kentucky searches for revenue to keep up in modern college sports. on3.com/teams/kentucky…

KSR seems desperate for stories, maybe that's why they pump out negative bs all the time.
Matt Jones@KySportsRadio
It would be nice if someone associated with Kentucky Basketball would say something to the fans It can be a Tweet, a pre-recorded video or just a smoke signal…but something to a fanbase desperately wanting something positive, strikes me as a good idea
English
@KySportsRadio That’s the problem, UK had 20 mill last year and was told do more with less money this year
English
Best three man broadcasting team in history
Paul Knepper@paulieknep
Billy Packer, Dick Enberg, and Al McGuire
English
Calipari wouldn't talk to KSR. Mark Pope is not talking to KSR. What's the common denominator here?
English
@KySportsRadio does anyone have a clue why the top tier players don’t sign with UK Basketball
English
UK Athletics has literally given no statements to the fans since the end of Basketball except giving (and taking away) a $5 million golden parachute to the AD and that same AD calling anyone criticizing it, “Knuckleheads”
Read the room…say something to your Fanbase
English
@MeManBoy0 basketball as a sport has been ruined. it’s now just business
English
Good lord. Now we pay em before they ever come to work?

NEWS: No. 1 player in the 2028 class, AJ Williams, has agreed to a two-year, $4.8M NIL deal with Duke, sources tell me. The deal will compensate the 16-year-old during his junior and senior years of high school before enrolling in college.

Was with Lorraine and Dickie V last night at his Gala. This guys spirit and passion is indescribable! We talked 20 minutes about his recruiting of Phil Sellers to Rutgers! Over 20 million raised for pediatric cancer research thru The Jimmy V fund. And I got to give Pam Valvano our annual hug!
Seeing friends and doing good. Nothing better!
God bless you @DickieV

After watching more of N’Diaye’s tape, folks need to be prepared for next year.
You’ll love him.
You’ll get frustrated with him.
He’ll drive you crazy.
He is a wildly entertaining player. No idea if he’ll be good, but he’ll definitely be interesting. He puts up some wacky shots, but more often than you’d expect they go in.
TWonder@TWonderD
Ousmane N’Diaye already repping the cats. #BBN This offense is set to take a notable uptick in pacing and viewing pleasure. More spacing, on-ball skill + creation, and perimeter gravity across the floor. High-octane spraying, capable hubs, and plenty finesse.
English
Amazon is going to pay Duke players to promote their games as a NIL fee….basically paying the players to do advertisements and since the market is global, they can pay a lot of money
That’s actually brilliant and why their Basketball Ops person is the best in the country
English
@JDSHELBURNE @CoachMarkPope Coach Pope does not have elite coaching pedigree. Maybe that’s why he is not getting elite players. Once he starts winning they will come
English
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
