Mark Pope the hero we needed. The hero we deserved. 🤴

Cant wait to see this team play together 😊 going be awesome team 😊 BBN .... Lets go cats 💙🤍💪😺🏀🔥🔥🔥 pope and his staff is killing it !!! Keep up the hard work coach 😊

What a change of pace!!!! Love this team of dogs!!!!! Letsss gooooo

since the Pope hire, Kentucky has added - MW DPOY - current NCAA 3-point % leader - A Big-12 starting wing - the last of the Pac-12 champion PG - a top 40 recruit Kentucky will be just fine. (haters)

Right now, I think our starting lineup looks like this. PG-Butler SG-Otega SF-Brea PF-Garrison C-Williams I really hope we can make ammends with Osobor, after all, we did with Brea. Imagine our lineup with him and Robinson. PG-Butler SG-Brea SF-Robinson PF-Osobor C-Williams If we can't get back right with Osobor, then Achor Achor would be a great consolation prize. We do need 2 more guys badly. Keep it up Lance.

Mark Pope is a gift from God - God must be a Big Blue fan

I’m really enjoying this channel! Thank you and good job!

Pope is going to bring national championships to Kentucky go big blue love this guy

My starting lineup prediction: Butler(pg) Oweh(sg) Brea(sf) Carr(pf) Williams(c) I also think Chandler is going to be really good by January and he gets back into the groove

Making big moves like a boss 💪💪💪 go big blue all-day 💯💯💯

Alot of good information tonight, Lance. Thank you

Coach Pope has FINALLY unleashed BBN into NIL!! The Empire resurgent!

I love this line up because it’s like a pocket knife. You can coach we’re just moving people around and lineups.

I think Kentucky could be a top 15 team next season which would be amazing

Yes mark pope has done a excellent JOB building the coaching staff & teams i lov everything mark is doing and my predictions is UK will make it too the great 8- final 4

I know we will probably wait on Robinson but I’d love to go all out for Kadary Richmond if he returns to college. Archor Archor who just entered. Wells from the west coast would be amazing if he stays in college too. I hope we go after at least 2 of them. I know Wooga Poplar may be an option too. Maybe a Darryn Peterson reclass.

Can you speak on travis perrys role on the team and how he might benefit the team based on whos been signed? I feel like he has gotten a bit lost in the sauce because I havent been hearing much about him and didnt even know he was signed more than a year ago because all ive heard is the hype around who is possibly coming from the portal and the newer guys being added to the roaster.

I’m more thrilled that Perry stayed here. True blue player. I already respect this Sheppard type player can’t wait to see this guy. Football first fan.

I honestly think, just looking at the roster and the player’s histories, the starting lineup ATM would be 1-Butler; 2/3-Oweh/Brea; 4-Carr; and 5-Williams. This is a thin lineup and would absolutely have to operate at their max efficiency. However, they can go with a ‘big’ lineup at and put Garrison at the 4 w/ Carr as their 6th man. Now, in Pope’s offense Perry, kriesa, and Chandler are going to get heavy minutes and/or move to the starting lineup based on matchups. His style is best served through depth so there will be enough minutes to keep them all happy. Obviously, Robinson would change things considerably and make that offense run more efficiently due to his familiarity w/ Pope and the offense.

Been hoping for Robinson since pope was hired! Baller!!!

Lance , I know this is maybe a reach , but could Reed re-think his next chapter with his basketball journey. Instead of going into the NBA ? Go back to Kentucky and compete with his teammates? especially Reed working on his defensive skills? ( food for thought) I believe Reed could move up the NBA 2025 board maybe even in the top 5 NBA draft picks.

What do you mean Travis Perry holds the record in high school for most points scored in the state for points scored and 3 point around 50 percent I will call you out on that one

CATS need a bucket getter that can play along the front line, like a 4 slot. Still a little thin across the front, in case there is an injury. What was the situation in regards to Williams?

The one question I have is, with Carr being the only stretch big, and Pope's offense utilizes 5 players on the perimeter, where is the depth. Carr is not enough.

Why are there so many fricking ads now

This roster looks like a patchwork quilt of mid-majors and also-rans. Unless Pope has Coach-of-the-Year credentials, this is an SEC .500 team. If Reed Sheppard and Adu Theiro were to come back, they might have some potential.

Achor better fit than Osobor.

Mark Pope will have no problem with getting the right team together

I wouldn’t be surprised if we are almost done . You already had Amari willliams having second thoughts These older guys want playing time I’d say a 8 man rotation is what we will see They will add some jucos and some projects

What about the three commitments who still have there name in the NBA draft?

Achor Achor is an explosive player and he reminds me of Ado but better shooter …. He is a must get all cards in on him ⛹️‍♂️🏀 I do think we need around 12 players because of fouls and injuries and pace of play even if last players are projects for future.

I promise BBN this man won’t be bought. Uk will pay this man good. He knows what the last greed don’t.

WVU fan here. You're going to love and hate kerr. He'll have games that you'll be happy he's on your team and he'll have games where you wished he would have called in sick. Defense is also optional with him, so don't expect much there. Streaky shooter with a turnover problem and not much defense, but in Pope's offense he should be ok. Definitely would not want him at the 2.

I dont think UK's getting another "dude" outside of Jaxson Robinson. That would be player #10. I think theyll do some deep analysis on the remaining portal players and try to find a good young developmental guy who a 3 & D forward who can play the 3 or the 4. Honestly, I think a great guy for that role would be Jordan Burks, but none of Cal's guys are coming back unfortunetly. Big named 4s like Anchor Anchor who are in their final year of eligibility arent going to come into a frontcourt situation where they have to split minutes with 3 other dudes. We saw Amari Williams have second thoughts when UK added a third big. So get me a sophomore or Junior who will take a bench role and can come back a year later with experience in the system and an expanded role or can hit the portal if he gets recruited over. Then you have two scholarships you can sit on during the summer that you can maybe find an international guy, a reclassifying HSer, or if something crazy like a coach pulls a Bob Huggins and gets fired and a star player becomes available in June/July/Aug

Travis Perry will be best basketball player on team, by next March. He is are scoring machine. Mr. String music. Smoking nets throughout the south.

Joe Lunardi had UK as an 8th seed in the Midwest, lol! They will be the best or second best seed in South or East region from my projection formula. People will be shocked!! He won 23 games in the big 12 conference and beat top ten teams along the way with a Mormon college. I know what he is capable of! He can out coach and out play Calipari, X and O’s like all night! Just wait

Sounds like we still need Osobor. Why give up?

I disagree we need two dudes, and one needs to be a true guard. if Pope can get two more top 10 guys and a true guard, we will be ready.

Don't see how Carr cannot be a stater at the four.

I wanna make a stew today but I don’t have all the ingredients

It’s sad we’re not trying to retain theirro

Lance I hear you but other pundits are just so so on some of these transfers you're gushing over... Careful Crow is a dish best Not served up at all...😉

Mark Pope did a pretty good job but we don’t know till all the roster fills out this dude talks about how good they’re every day just let it play out

We might get Robinson but the rest will be fill ins for foul trouble or projects. These are older players that earned plenty of playing time. IMO

I tried to tell ya Lance! Mark is smart! He is like a Rhode Scholar and he was the 96 captain! Arguably the best team ever in college basketball. The 2015 team blew that in the final four against Wisconsin, ridiculous really, I’m over it but no smart coaching from you know who. Just saying! Facts!

Thanks now tell me about Minecraft 😂

Bad information from Lance. Jaxson Robinson already said he plans to return to BYU if he doesn’t go to the NBA. He loves BYU and he’s excited about their new coach from the NBA. He said he doesn’t have any interest in going to Kentucky. Lance must not be following the news very closely.

Achor Achor is pronounced uh-chore

I dont trust none of them. Lol. Only way to tell is suit up.

Robinson is in deep thoughts. I’m sure his religious beliefs come first.

Never subscribing to so much ad content

Is Williams Staying.. he's upset with the (GREAT)SITUATION!!!

I simply can't just live with it if you mispronounced Achor Achor's name
