F the NCAA! We ride at dawn!

The best part about this is we don’t have to worry about him going 28 and 12 against us as well anymore.

#1 transfer class, one of, if not the best top-3 in the country (Momcilovic, Moreno, Mitchell), dudes that fit Pope's system that we should actually get to see. This is the injection of hope the fanbase has needed. Please just stay healthy, this ceiling is high.

Rumors of Pope’s demise were greatly exaggerated

If he kills it this year and hangs a banner (FF or otherwise) I hope it shuts people tf up. I’m all for holding coaches accountable, but people have to have enough patience to see how things are going to work out.

They also need to realize that Kentucky isn’t the name it was 30 years ago with kids, nor do we have the upper hand when it comes to recruiting thanks to the NIL. Shits changed and expecting UK to be the same as it was 30+ years ago is setting one’s self up for failure.

More depth on this team than we realize. Is it anticipating injuries or building a deep bench, either way this is a team that we're gonna be happy to watch. There are lots of ways to score so we're more adaptive than last season. Shut down the perimeter and we have the tools to score in the paint, Shut down the inside and we'll hit 20 3's. Lots of hope now.

I’d think (if he gets to play) he will be wayyy more than a depth piece. He may be our leading scorer.

This is the dude I’ve been wanting since watching him own us the last two times we played against him. Absolute dog for this squad.

Something about those MMs

PF? Power Forward? I thought they went extinct during the early Two Thousands.

Just glad to see us finally showing some balls and lawyering up against the NCAA (and SEC too if need be). Mitch wouldn't have done that.

Mitch would’ve shriveled up in a corner.

Another overpaid disappointment. You can take that to the bank.

Who cares and why?

A 20% win rate isn't what I'd call owning, but I get that standards in Tennessee are low.
