    Either way, both Hart and Brooks came in with a reputation of really good recruiters and for some reason, couldn't get it done here. I'm not so sure that's on them.
    Me either. Could be JMI, could be that they wanted to bring in players that don't fit what Pope wants to do. Or, there could be something else involved. Who knows at this point.

        It could be that kids don't want to play for Pope? Just throwing that out there.

            I am kind of surprised that there hasn't been much chatter on who the replacements will be for both exiting assistants. Like I said, I don't mind a shake up but hope there was a plan already in place.

                My opinion is what Mark Pope believes is the big selling factor to play at Kentucky (history, name on the front of the jersey, etc.) is about 3rd or 4th on the list for big time recruits nowadays. How much will I get paid and do you put guys in the NBA are probably top 2. Until he gets this, we will struggle to dign big time recruits.

                    And Mark Pope isn't going anywhere this offseason. It's not even worth discussing.
                    I agree, Pope is here, no since wasting time speculating..

                        You all can forget about Donovan or anyone else. Regardless of who the next AD is Pope is our coach next season. Anyway if he leaves the Bulls to return to coach in college next season he'll be at UNC. Just my 00.2.

                            You're right. Pope is here next year. I'm hoping he greatly turns things around
