After that press conference, I’ll be surprised to see a Kentucky fan that’s not bought into Mark Pope.
I guess the vocal objectors in my timeline really were the loud minority. Twitter is not real life!!!!

Wow. Just told Pope’s presser delayed because “they’re still 5,000 people outside.” Rupp is going to be full for this.
Big day for @KentuckyMBB! Fans looking to support our players’ NIL please consider clubbluenil.com

Welcome, @CoachMarkPope! Glad to have you back and representing the #BBN
Welcome, @CoachMarkPope! Glad to have you back and representing the #BBN
Some news: One donor has already pledged $4 million up front for NIL to help build Pope’s program
I hope #BBN knows that embarrassing one of your own to try and shame the university into not hiring him is not going to help you get a better candidate. It may push you further down the ladder. There's already enough coaches that don't want to deal with your crap.
Here’s my last word and I’m going to slide away from Twitter a few days. I feel very sadden the possible hiring of Mark Pope has brought so much vile from so many UK fans past 12 hours. I thought BBN was better than this. Disagreement is fine, but this has been way overboard.
I’m at a loss still after sleeping on it but we ride. Hire a staff that can recruit because nobody knows who you are. Build your own legacy Coach. I do know this, Mark has my support and some legends who built this program with him. So, here we go!
If you’re a Kentucky fan, prove it today. #BBN
Alternative explanation: irate angry tweeting fans dissuade coaches in good situations from moving to jobs like this. Just a theory.

Great hire…..like the fact we kept it “Kentucky” #BBN
Mark Pope is very smart…maybe the smartest dude to ever play here (for real). He has a great offense and he loves this place. Plus he was part of the greatest team in school history Assuming this is finalized, I am going to pull for him as hard as I can. He deserves that
As a fanbase, let's make sure our frustration is always pointed in the right direction. If Pope is the guy, we support him and hope he wins and proves us wrong. Pressure should be on Mitch, not Pope.
Perfectly said. Every word. I will be Mark Pope’s biggest fan and supporting him every step of the way. Let’s go win some basketball games.

If that’s the case then those folks don’t know what they’re watching. You can’t worry about them.

@NazrMohammed @KentuckyMBB People are freaking out. But UNC and Duke have had success and remained relevant with former player hires.

@billyyygoatgruf @FatherNinjas @Duffal0 “The voice of the league”
BREAKING: The wheels, which also then fell off, apparently.
Major commitment on a potential 2026 NBA Draft lottery pick: Jayden Quaintance – a 16-year old ranked as the No. 2 center in ESPN’s Top 100 prospects — will sign with the Arizona State Sun Devils, he tells ESPN. He recently de-committed from Kentucky.
@streetfighthard What pet ?? He respects his teacher that’s why he knocked him
Beal and Durant gonna just throw the blame on the coach of course
Frank Vogel “yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clippers on April 9th, per @ShamsCharania “Suns players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced and out of character in their eyes…Vogel’s eruption left players…
@TheDunkCentral @ShamsCharania it hasn’t even been an hour and the excuses are piling up 💀
@Nati_Sports He’s a career .240 guy, right? This was already kind of a meh signing anyway.
@Nati_Sports Sorry but anyone who has been following baseball for a while saw that dude play multiple years in Detroit and was awful there. On a team winning 65 games a year and couldn’t perform. Hes awful and we paid his a kings ransom. Krall makes some decisions in FA that just doh.
Nothing better than being back home in #Cincinnati 🏡💪🏾5️⃣1️⃣3️⃣
I’m super blessed for the opportunity, let’s work! #WhoDey
It's late. You're probably already tucked in. But you can watch one more Draft Call video, right? It's McKinnley Jackson's (@macfrmGSF_) turn to get THE CALL 📞 @IEL_LLC | #RuleTheJungle
Alright i'll just say it: sweating out a guy for 10+ picks with plenty of capital to move up (even a few spots) is....something.
Zac Taylor and Lou Anarumo admit they were staring at Kris Jenkins' name for a long time. This was a major sweat that he would make it to them. Calling it similar to the long sweat they've talked about often for Logan Wilson in R3 in 2020.
@pauldehnerjr Nothing forces them to sweat. They do it to themselves refusing to move in the draft.
We are stuck on Johnny Newton right now, but Cooper DeJean and Kool-Aid McKinstry are also worth trading up for. There are 15 players I'd really like for the Bengals in round 2.
@atTheTrack7 @JoelEmbiid @nyknicks Still don’t know how that’s not a flagrant 2
@AshishxS Yep. Foot injury hasn't helped, either. Still a special player.
Bengals should absolutely trade up and grab Johnny Newton tomorrow. Couldn’t think of a better way to kick off day two.
Forgive them king for they do not know
@BosshogAZ The Bengals consistently have the least “Dead Cap” on the league. So tbh, they’re sporting a 800 credit score. An acceptable analogy would be calling them your tight relative who buys 1 ply toilet paper.
