Expectation always the banner....but gratitude regardless. Will be an exciting year!!!

I look forward to seeing a Kentucky team play consistently hard for the first time in years.

I think if he just stay above .500 this year he will be doing good.

A win in the tournament would be an improvement!

No way Pope does worse than Cal has his last 5 yrs

Well, he did better than Cal just last year lol. With far less talent

Calipari is a salesman. I don’t think people quite realize just how bad of a coach he really is. The guy has had more NBA talent than anyone in history. Without a returning former coaches player Darius Miller AND an NBA lockout with no draft, Calipari has ZERO TITLES. Let this sink in, if not for a lockout, and Calipari with ONLY HIS OWN PLAYERS, has ZERO TITLES. he’s a fraud who is scamming all over the place. It’s insane that anyone even wants him but Arkansas is a small program who needs whatever they can get.

Well here is what is for certian, he will recruit high level shooters, and his team will shoot alot of 3s and run alot of sets, and pin downs and such. His team is going to be extremely difficult to guard, and i say thats a recipe for atleast top 5 in the league. And depending on the level of players he is able to land, maybe better.

Is there a full video here of this or is this the full video? It seems like this is just a clip of the full conversation.

You will know sooner than later on his impact on the Kentucky basketball scene, Kentucky fans may not have to wait for the season to start in order to see, if he can’t recruit, it’s over for bbn …

I'm telling you Coach Pope is making the most interesting choices the Dawgs he's got coming in they not only can score but defend like mad men I'm telling you your going to be surprised what's going to happen

I sure hope I’m surprised because as of now I will be surprised if we make the NCAA Tournament

I'm thrilled to know we're going to have a seasoned team again! Calipari was an NBA recruiter he didn't have a damn about UK! You give Coach Pope two years, he has the passion for success! Love our new coach and couldn't be happier the other one is gone!

Actually before the coaching change my expectations where to loose in the first game of the tournament. Now for me it’s probably the elite 8, and a sec championship!

5-Out is genius! It opens up so much space for players to do what they do best..

I have very low expectations for the first year. It's going to be a culture shock for everyone in the beginning. Pope and Call are obviously very different personalities. Not a bad thing, but change takes time. Especially for a huge program like this one.

Players play for the coach and what he can do for them going forward...not the school....

In his first year, just getting to the tournament would be a success. Considering the fact that this is a program rebuild from the ground up, with all new players, I think that's about as much as you can ask for in year one.

Gentlemen, the roster is almost full. They have 10 commitments scholarship players maybe get two more within the next two weeks.

Pope has never won an NCAA tournament game and Kentucky fans are expecting the final four😂

I know you don’t know anything about basketball but I’ll be easy on you! Coach k took 11 years to win a title, and that was at duke! Pope has a ring as a player already more expert that cal when he first started

If you honestly think we expect a FF, you’re a complete imbecile. Cal’s team couldn’t beat Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT a few years ago. Cal has been trash for years. I’d rather lose with a coach that clearly loves UK!

Personally I feel a realistic expectation would be win 20 plus games in season play. Advance and win a few in SEC tournament and then make the NCAA tournament. I believe if we can do that year one I would be ok with that.. Now moving in year 2 -3 must make big jumps from that..

There aren’t any expectations in year 1. Gonna be ups and downs. You will see each season after that he will continue to get better and adjust to his new environment.

Reed is coming back. He would have already let uk fans off the hook if he were leaving. 100% coming back and I think we’re gonna get that dude in the portal for Duke, Kentucky might have the first splash bros of CBB

Cal 1.0 good assistant coaches. Cal 2.0 assistant coaches not any good. CAL 1.0 was good. Cal 2.0 was all downhill.
