Listen to this clown above!

Actually I was impressed.  I love a good detective.  Now had it been us, we would have sent @Hovadipo in for the hug which would have sealed the deal.

He was the Batesville guy on the SI cover in HS, right?

No, he played at WRV in Switz City.

Damn, I'm getting old.  Maybe Mencer was on the cover... at least that's what I'm coming up with.  Good for Graves though.  Always like to see an Indiana HS player succeed.

His brother Andrew also played at WRV and at Butler. Their uncle lead the state in scoring I think back in 1974. If not the leader was top two or three. Not bad for a town that has only a 4 way stop intersection 50 years later.

Saw a tweet, presumably from a UK fan, that said ... 

Calipari doesn't want to be in Fayetteville. 
Nobody wants to be in Lexington. 
This is dumb. 

Made me chuckle a little.

Tracy Stevens agrees with this Tweet.

 

 

Tracy’s going to parlay a UK negotiation into Brad being commissioner of the NBA.

Nice of this guy to check his "source" on Billy Donovan's credentials. 

He's been to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, three title games and won two titles. 

Wasn't sure if he'd be up to the job!

UK Head Coach Mark Pope

[Stuhoo 76,810]

Smoke went up the chimney and they picked the Pope.

Seems logical.

Good coach; not a high level recruiter. 51 years old and zero NCAA tournament wins.

Plenty of steak, but zero sizzle. 

[IUc2016 7,121]

Really surprising. Really underwhelming honestly.

I am sure he could do well there. But to push out Cal for a guy who has won 63% of his games over 9 seasons, we will see.

[TadQueasy 568]

Pope to Kentucky?  This is a joke right?  Is it another April fools that no one told us about?

Now Kentucky knows how it feels to hire an incredibly underwhelming coach. 
 

 

[moyemayhem 1,269]

Anytime you can hire a guy with 2 tourney appearances and 0 wins in 9 seasons, you’ve got to take the plunge.

[Alford Bailey 12,284]

Holy cow!
