Alford Bailey Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 What is so great about this is Cal went to a conference rival and may take a significant portion of the roster with him. Salt in the wound right off the bat. lillurk 1 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Man if UK can’t land a top coach, who the heck are we going to land next year? kottke and HoosierTrav 2 Quote
Stuhoo Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Pope’s biggest challenge will be to expand UK’s NIL and his profile to get a talented enough roster. If I was a UK fan I wouldn’t be concerned about Pope‘s ability to coach em up. Home Jersey and lillurk 2 Quote
hoosiersoxfan Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I wonder how many of Kentucky’s current roster/incoming recruits follow Cal to Arkansas. Cupboard might be left pretty bare for Pope year 1 in Lexington. Alford Bailey 1 Quote

Aaron Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Two of the most underwhelming hires ever were Bob Knight and Teri Moren. You just never know. On paper this hire is very odd and not the big fish anyone expected. Doubt he lives up to UK's expectations and not what I saw coming and would be surprised if he succeeded. However, would say the same about others as well. It is a crapshoot but generally you prefer the bigger name with the better resume. IH8PU 1 Quote
AH1971 Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 In the last 3 years, 5 of the top 7 programs of all-time in this sport by my estimation have been open. 1. North Carolina—-hired Hubert Davis, no college HC experience 2. Duke—-hired Jon Scheyer, no college head coaching experience 3. Kentucky——hired Mark Pope, coached at Utah Valley and BYU, zero tournament wins 4. Indiana——hired Mike Woodson, no college head coaching experience 5. Louisville x2——Kenny Payne no college head coaching experience and Pat Kelsey, coached at Winthrop and College of Charleston, zero tournament wins Throw in Arizona whom I consider a top 10 program that hired Tommy Lloyd (no head coaching experience) as well as Syracuse hiring Adrian Autry (no head coaching experience). Ponder that, it’s a crapshoot. moyemayhem, lillurk, hoosierdogg and 2 others 5 Quote

tyappleg Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 5 years for 5.5 million a year seems like a crazy overpay. That would make Mark Pope the 6th highest paid coach I'm college basketball. Josh and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Kentucky fans were dumb enough to believe Dan Hurley would leave UConn for Kentucky after winning back to back titles. They were going to be disappointed with any hire. Alford Bailey 1 Quote
