Make the right choice come to KY. You will PLAY & Be treated like a KING like ALL WILDCATS..KY. WILL WIN SEC & GO FAR in the NCAA.. 🏀🏆

Lately I've been watching replays of the 96 and 98 teams to make sure of what I'm seeing. The big difference between those teams and Cal's teams is that Cal's Cats had glass jaws. They were mostly brittle to the touch. When everything was going their way, they dominated. As soon as an opponent played any defense at all, they would break apart. The 96 and 98 teams were more like Marciano. They could just pummel you and no matter how hard you hit them, they'd hit you back harder. You could never count them out of a game because they would put a run together, lock down on defense, get 50/50 balls and hit the boards. Cal's teams were all wearing bathrobes at the pool next to fat chicks talking about how great skin is all about exfoliating and moisturizing. Night and day difference. Men vs. .... well I don't know whats. That isn't to say there weren't great players but there was almost never a team with a purpose and pride under Cal. God speed you Mark, I look forward to seeing what you do with the team.

Unfortunately being soft is encouraged in basketball nowadays, Flopping and ignorant refs have become part of the game. Kids cant even show PASSION and competitiveness without getting called for some bullcrap

I look forward to the day we talk less about Cal. I understand it and am thankful for his time at UK, but when the season starts, I’m hopeful it lessons. And I know we play Arkansas and that they’re in the SEC, but enough.

If We Get Him We Definitely Top Contender in SEC💯 BBN💙

😊 Lance, your stats show these players we've signed, they'll be able to make a team come out of the gates after start practice and Coach Pope gets his way going... watch out...BBN CAT'S going to be great... Go Wildcat's Go..🐅's Go...I'm excited..

Pope is building a 1996 kinda throwback type team. Can he make magic happen like we did in 1996?

I don’t think that will happen immediately, but I hope I’m wrong about that. I think it is possible that Pope fields a first Kentucky team roughly similar to Coach Pitino’s 1992 team The Unforgettables.

@nickperkins8477

Ай бұрын

I think eventually Coach Pope will bring in his own version of the 1995-96 Cats. His system at BYU, which he is bringing to Kentucky, is essentially Coach Pitino’s system during his tenure with Kentucky.

Dear Chaz, Once you visit UK there is no other place. BBN supports you and we will welcome you with open arms. Coach P, Brooks III, Brad Hart and Coach Cody will get you a title. You are the main man we need to win it all. Pope, I watched him as a 14 year old lead UK to a championship. He knows how to get you to The Promise land. Love from Perú and Go CATS

To me the take away from this is Mark Popes ability to adapt to change bringing what his team looks like.

Look great in UK blue Chaz!

If KY gets Lanier and Robinson (if is a big word) Butler at the point Lanier at shooting guard Robinson at small forward Carr at power forward and Williams at center.

Chaz Lanier is awesome. The big blue nation is in great hopes that he will accept his invite from Pope. Nobody show cases players better than Kentucky with their immense fan base and connections to pro scouts. Pope, with Rick Pitino's classic training, is the perfect home for a player with Chaz Lanier's talents.

Now they signed Almanor who is 6'7, makes it appear that SF Jaxson Robinson isnt going to be @UK since they got a second SF in Almanor.

It feels like BYU is quickly becoming a top 10 college basketball powerhouse.

No way this team takes that long to pick up on Popes system with so many 4 and 5th yr seniors. Im sure theyve practiced something similar in all those yrs

Let’s go Lanier you will look much better in Blue than that ugly burnt orange jersey. Go Freaking Cats!!!! BBN4Life…

After seeing BYU on his list of visits it's pretty obvious it's a bit of a money move so UK better throw 1.5M because I know BYU will be offering at least a million

He is visiting UT on Tuesday. I think it’s a coin flip between UT and UK

Defense will be better this year than Ky has had in years

Yeah I don’t understand Jamie visiting. To take a depth piece tells me Jaxson is staying in the draft and going all in on Lanier

You can't compare BYU and Kentucky. Way too many differences and Coach Pope already has more talent than he ever had at BYU. They will get to the line quite regularly..

I believe he will be a Wildcat

Uk 😊

Damn you Kentucky fans want Everything. After Otega Oweh, Koby Brea, Kerr Kriisa, Andrew Carr, y'all want the best shooting guard in the country after already getting all those other ones.

The fact that he hasn't actually scheduled a visit to Tennessee, which would come after Kentucky visit, is a good sign for KY. Seems like he is waiting to see how his UK visit will go --- if it goes well, he'll commit and wont schedule a visit to Tennessee. He's a cat

We won't get Lanier, Robinson, or poplar. I would bet 100$ we get none and that sucks. Need to try for Jalen wells or some other wing.
