I don't really mind starting the roster over from scratch. I respect every player that has worn the UK jersey, but I think that UK became just a stepping stone and not a destination. Hence the lack of effort in the past few years. I want players that want to be here!
@michael_willis1 Mike the way I see it is college basketball is about the next step and how much money they are going to be making while young. They are not here for a degree, and they don't really care about staying and building a team. Pope gets them to the NBA they will play for Kentucky.
@michael_willis1 Whether you want to believe this or not, kids don’t pick the program any more. The word Kentucky on the front of the jersey means nothing. The only thing that matters in today’s college sports is all about the 💴 💰
@michael_willis1 Which guys showed a lack of effort? Are we gonna lump Reed in with the stepping stone guys that didn’t really want to be at UK. Gotta stop with this nonsense. We’ve had so many players come through for 1-2 years that did a lot for the program and helped themselves along the way.
@michael_willis1 Yep- I’ll take whatever comes our way to get back to at least some semblance of that.
@michael_willis1 Look at what Hurley just said about avoiding players who are itching to get to NBA
