No he isn’t. Pope is not a bad hire. He’s just not the name everyone expected. He plays an interesting and entertaining brand of ball that will translate very well to Kentucky. He had history with some people there so thr NIL will flow. Everything I read about him is positive. The only hiccup is that his connections are a generation removed as opposed to the current stars. There are certain programs that will be fine almost regardless of who they hire. Kentucky is one of them. UCLA is too, but Cronin ball will lead to underachievement as to what the program can be. That being said, very few people seem to care about UCLA spoets anymore and those who do haven’t changed with the times.
