Kentucky is the greatest college basketball program of all time.

We could win the SEC

ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO

Come on BBN let's let this kid know how bad we want him here in Lexington show this kid what BBN is about, let his family know how our fan base is here at BBN. Coach Pope good job keep up the good work and show this kid we win National championship here at Kentucky. I seen the other day a podcast that coach Pope does have a National title well neither did Coach Cal and also Tubby Smith and if I'm not mistaken Rick P didn't have a National title until they all became coaches at Kentucky and next in line is Coach Mark Pope he will win a National title in 3 years bet my life on it Coach Pope knows what Kentucky across your chest means. Coach Pope will win back to back titles at Kentucky just hide and watch. Love Coach Pope. Did love Coach Cal but the way he walked away from UK and just gave away everything he had to do with UK that was rong.

Is it messed up that I hope coach pope fails at Kentucky… #byufan

We have to get John Wall on staff. He's been hanging around, building a relationship with Pope. If we can get him in a development role, every 5 star guard in the nation will be breaking down the doors trying to get in.

YES SIR

Yes AJ!!!!! We gonna miss you playing for the hawks mate! I’m so glad he’s on the bucks that’s my fav team with my fav player - giannis! He’s good I’ve seen him play live I have a pic with him and his autograph. All the best mate good luck! Hopefully we bring it home with a championship soon! #ajjohnson #giannis #bucks #nba #2024nbadraft #fearthedeer 💚🤎💙🏆 🏀🦌

The Kentucky brand is solidified so much so that it doesn't matter, any kid that is talented automatically boosts their draft stock higher than any other program off name alone. Kentucky has elite resources with elite nutrition and training programs. He goes to UK he not only will get drafted, he has a higher chance at having a long NBA career. Doesn't matter if it's Pope or Calipari Coaching there, its the brand and program there. UK been putting kids in the league even before Cal got there, and Calipari didn't actually start getting elite classes until he became the head coach there back in 2009. He had some good classes here and there, but he definitely wasn't landing talent like he did at Kentucky at Memphis and umass. The UK Brand is solidified as one of the top brands in college basketball, and overall history and tradition is impeccable compared to even the other blue bloods.

Can’t wait for this season for BYU!

Yes I do

Alpha dog. His maturity level is off the charts. Plays like a NBA veteran already.

Darryn Peterson will commit to Kentucky ? 👀

BYU fan here…I think Knell starts and Catchings plays the roll Jax left (1st of the bench as the go-to guy within the second unit).

Bro did you see that AJ Dybantsa took a recruitment trip to BYU and not only that, it's interesting that he is moving to Utah to play his senior season. Nm lol you explained that at the end of the video. That would be crazy if BYU gets him!

Utah Prep already has The JJ and AJ Show but now you're saying The Show will come to BYU next year? BYU fans have something to get excited for.

Don't sleep on Dawson Baker

I agree with the "positionless" comments and "the lineup is our bench" - making the starting five not as significant. If Dawson Baker can stay healthy, he can be a real contributor this year. Knell should really thrive in KY's system and I'd like to see Trey blossom under the new staff, he wasn't Pope's favorite for sure. With some positive coaching, he has the tools to do much better. Still looking for the arrival of Adam Stewart.

Like your starting five - I'd just swap Traore and Keita at the 5, at least at the start, for his offensive reliability. But it's going to be interesting to see how coach Young experiments with different personnel. Like everyone one else commenting here, the depth, the possible player combinations, are pretty remarkable. There's an absolutely solid 9 player rotation with a few fantastic subs, particularly the last two freshman, who could work their way into a lot of playing time. Exciting!

I am on a waitlist to get my season tickets. I even upgraded my cougar club level to get tickets sooner. I don't want to miss what they are putting together. Magic is clearly in Provo right now.

Look peeps Im 50 years old been watchin UK hoops since i can remember ,rememberin things..... You youngins think UK is some place that recruits will not cone cause of Cal???? LMAO. 96 TEAM HAD 9 PLAYERS GET DRAFTED.. i nean eddie Sutton had Studs...TUBBY hadcsome untik he got lazy and didnt recruit to KENTUCKYS Standard.. Obviously things are lil diff NIL, PORTAL ETC.... I WILL go ahead and say Pope will consistantly bring Studs in an,d he will land 2-4 5☆ players consistently... When Popes system is played with way better players then BYU KENTUCKY WILL HAVE THE BEST OFFENSE I N NATION !! STUDS WILL BE ON KENTUCKYS ROSTER CONSISTENTLY!!

It seems that coach Young is going with the positionless approach. He just wants the best athletes on the floor as much as possible. It will be a fun season.

This is the first time in my life-long ride as a BYU fan that I am not worried about being physically outmatched in every game. We have athleticism, speed, length, and talent at every position. Not to mention the depth of this squad, BYU’s never had anything like it.

BYU has got 9 guys that could easily start: Hall, Demin, Catchings, Mag, Keba, Baker, Saunders, Knell and Fouss. That will be their 9 man rotation. 3 dudes on the outside: Koz(4 star) Crawford (4star) and Stewart ( who is an above average defender and the fact he’s the worst scholarship player on this team shows how deep this team is)

Love your BYU content. Keep it coming! November isn’t coming fast enough

I think BYU will continue to try and be competitive in the Big 12. It looks like they have everything they need to make a strong effort in the NCAA tournament.

Don’t forget about Dawson Baker

Watch out for Dawson Baker 💪💙

Brody as in Brody Kozlowski! 😆

OK, my predicted starting 5 (although I think SidelinePlug's proposal is a good one): Hall and Demin are locks at the 1 and 2. At the 3 and 4 I'm going with Richie Saunders and Kanon Catchings. In other words, I believe Mag will come off the bench - but I could be completely wrong about this - he's got great experience and plays great defense. I'm almost talking myself into Mag as starter because it might make sense to unleash him on the other squad's best player who will be starting. Maybe it will be matchup dependent. Anyway, for now I've got Mag off the bench. For the 5 spot I'm also going with Keba. So a mix of returning guys and very talented newcomers. However the rotation shakes out, this is going to be a very fun team to watch.

Great job on BYU coverage!

I’m so pumped for the season..

LETS GO COUGS!!!

So excited for BYU basketball this year. Sky is the limit!

You got me summoned. A starting five might be the most impossible thing for a BYU fan. Because. Now our lineup is our bench. I believe that the players will get an even amount of playing time, so a starting lineup doesn’t matter

Drop y'all starting 5 in the comments 🍿

I'm getting close to 4,000 subs. Become a Plug-in join the family 🔌🔥

They said the same thing about Bronny, only for him to drop 2 inches in the draft.

Duke

Pelicans got a steal 😮

ILL

Hope both come next year 😊 BBN and perry noah come back next year 😊. Go cats💪😺💙🤍🏀🔥🔥🔥

It is always nice to play close to home so your parents and friends can come to the games. Kentucky is certainly one of the greatest programs in basketball history. The BBN is really excited about the possibility of both of these great home state players come to Kentucky.

Kentucky would be such a great choice for both of these great players. Mark Pope is such a great coach. He takes care of his players and being the brilliant man he is, he really understands the way basketball has evolved and how to best apply the rules. Plus, the support from the BBN and university is amazing. The chance to play for a national championship is also a huge benefit and life changing event.

Its funny The Kentucky I Think Im Better Than Every Other School Wildcats ran out of town hall of fame coach for Mark Pope and Popes first big time recruit he couldve got at Kentucky he missed out on. Be careful what you wish and ask for Little Blue Nation. 😂
