It's not. I'm very appreciative of what Aberdeen did for us this year, but it was no surprise he transferred or that he's going back to Florida. He may not even be eligible next year.

Some people will jump on anything to pile unfounded criticism on Pope. Even when it makes zero sense like in this case. They are likely not even fans.

Everyone knows you are a pope lover and doesnt care if we continue losing 14 plus games a year as long as pope is coach.
pope has not shown he can recruit high level guys. He didn't make the needed adjustments last year when injuries happened and so on so on

On3 logged a pick for UK for Zoom Diallo.

Wisconsin guard Blackwell down to Illinois and Duke. Do not think we ever had a chance with that guy.

Allen Graves the stud PF from Santa Clara has entered the portal.

Where the BOOMS at or is it DOOM?

Iowa forward Alvaro Folgueiras plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal.

Kentucky was hot after him last year, and (I think) more or less settled on Jelavic once he committed to Iowa. I wonder if there will be any interest on the part of UK now that he's back in the portal (?)

I don't see this as that big of a loss, especially since there's no guarantee that the NCAA will grant Aberdeen another year of eligibility, and it looks like he's going to land Diallo, who is pretty much an Aberdeen clone.

Aberdeen commits (again) to Florida.

Pope is such a freaking terrible recruiter and a clown. I cannot wait until the Pope disaster ends after next season.

So he has to get a waiver to play but sure. He was an unstoppable force at UK this year. He had some good games but do no act like he was great at any point of the year. He was out of place playing point. He did what he could. Do not see a reason to have a year 2. If he gets another year.

How is this Pope's fault that he is going back to Florida

I think NEO is the perfect Matrix piece to Pope's offense. He is 6'9" and can play 1-4 when needed. Not sure about Brown will have to read up more on him.

He would be the Denzel Aberdeen replacement, only he's not as good of a three point shooter as Denzel. Otherwise, his game is almost identical.

If he signs, I hope it's after we've secured a true Point Guard.... because like Denzel, he's more of a combo guard. If hate for him coming to distract someone like Wright for declaring for UK.

We need so many guards. Wright is not afraid of another guard signing. He knows he is PG1 where ever he goes with the exception of maybe Arkansas.
