I’m as interested in Coach Pope’s defensive scheme. His first several players to land with him at Kentucky are defensive specialists and defense was a major concern for Cal’s Cats this last year. He and his staff immediately identified defensive issues and addressed them. I do believe that his system, when implemented to its maximum efficiency on both ends of the court will be spectacular.
Several BYU games from last year are on YT, including the ones used here, and besides being educational for UK fans, they're also a lot of fun. It's hard to not get excited by this system.
Also don’t rule out the 2 instate freshman we have that can shoot and pass. I think I heard that Perry & Noah were top of there class academically . They should be able to learn quickly!!
I’m so lost on what you say whatever they decide to do with 5 Amari would be the guy just off his passing ability not to mention he’s a beast who will be in the running for SEC defensive player of the year, Garrison will get some minutes but I like Carr playing some 5 for the Khalifa role and being a bigger threat from deep
Cannot wait! This is going to be fun! But pretty sure PCoach Pope is going to tweek his system so not sure it'll be the same thing he had at BYU. Pope's tenor seems that he will evolve this.
Generally speaking, any healthy system evolves a bit year to year to fit personnel. Even Cal did that much. This is very natural, but the core principles aren't going to change.
BYU has much higher standards than we do at Kentucky. BYU is clearly a top Academic University with very high standards. We don’t have high standards at Kentucky!!!
Was great listening to and seeing Shawn breakdown a few of the offensive sets. I would love to hear his breakdowns on Pope's defensive teachings and how having more defensive oriented players will make it better. The offense can be talked about all summer long, but the defense will be our question mark at the moment. You guys do great work!
With the resources they’ll have for Pope, KY will do great things. People are criticizing Pope but seem quick to forget BYU beat Kansas, Texas and Baylor last season.
And they did it with maybe only 1 of the 5 best players on the floor any point in the game. It was mostly mediocre players being used to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. That's exciting to see.
I watched some tape on BYU running "zoom," and I wonder how much Pope is influenced by Larry Bird. The pin-down screens on the three-point line look like Bird setting up his guy for a curl or corner three, especially. Could Jack Pilgrim ask Mark Pope about how much his philosophy came from Bird, and are we going to see him at Rupp? Is Pope the only former Bird player to coach, or who else is coaching that played for Larry Legend?
Watching this offense, everyone says what if u aren't making 3s. They're really not hunting 3s. All of these plays have the ball moving to the front of the rim and kicked out to a wide open 3. So, what they want is a layup first or a lob. U won't see many lobs on this BYU team because of the size difference. The difference is the 3s they will shoot are wide open shots and not a guy taking his man 1v1 and pulling up from 3
Coaches have access to every game through synergy. Those 10 clips were against teams that had scouts. It’s about making reads and understanding how to play in situations. Still a tough scout even if you have film.
BYU has smarter players and very high character students. We can’t expect this kind of movement from our players. Pope actually had much better players at his last university.
Lmao like you already know everything because you have a crystal ball that can see you in the next year. Close your skull hatch, people are putting too much poop in there, and try learning facts and numbers. Pope has never had a team like this before and that's because of KY. All the greatest coaches didn't become great until they got to a big school.
@@johnnycorn7225 There’s no need to make rude and delusional comments. With NIL, the new “Blue Bloods” and “Big” schools are completely different than they were in the past. I hope we can stay competitive, but I’m not sure yet. Best wishes.
@@theoptimist9605 don't post y o u r delusions on here in people won't call you out for it. He could only recruit Mormons at BYU, the ultimate recruiting handicap. You knew when you posted this it was a lost cause statement. It's funny how you're trying to sound like a UK fan. Pope actually addressed that exact issue during his Open Mic practice. He made it clear there would be no standing around and lack of effort on offense or defense. So do I believe you or coach?
Your comment implies that coach Pope will now recruit an entirely different type of player than he did at BYU. You do realize it will be easier for Pope to recruit his type of player at UK because the grade requirements are easier than BYU
Thats on you cause this is our team. Pope was/is and always will be my main man. Don't doubt he has clout! I'll bet you he wins an NCAA banner before Arkansas does.
Pope's offense has gotta be better than the dribble drive where 3-4 guys stand and watch one guy try to drive through 3-4 defenders.

You notice a few of the guys are from teams that play exclusively zone? We might actually see some lol
Especially the fact he has a lot better players than he had last year. His system allowed him to beat baylor and kansas.
@@indigomarine91 exactly!! And, I loved most of Cal’s time at UK. But, he had Kansas in Rupp Arena last season, and didn’t beat them.
@@nickperkins8477didnt play kansas at rupp last year. That was a neutral court game in the champions classic.
Best Episode Ever! Thank you!

Anticipate, read, react. That's what pros do. If this goes well, KY will get NBA prospects.
Jack , love the shirt !

@@wtk6069I think BYU has better players than we do. I’m concerned that our roster can’t do what BYU was able to do.
Absolutely would love more sessions of this
Session2!
Thank, Jack and Shawn. I usually LISTEN while I'm at work. Now I'm having to watch? It's your fault if I don't get everything done today. 🤣
Great show, need more film breakdowns of offense and defense. Can’t wait for the season to start. GO BIG BLUE!
Great breakdowns and insight, Shawn
Great help hope you have more
Hilarious how pumped we are for simple actions…Zoom?! Omg!
Great episode
Part two right now please
Continually Screening !
When it all went down, Larry Glover was the voice of reason. He was the first radio dude that pimped Mark Pope (before the hire)
With this roster I’d love to see pope play 10, and do it by committee.
Weakness would seem to be offensive rebounding
Y’all have sources say t-shirts?
Given the talent in the SEC this year is it even possible to beat the seven teams rated above them in the way too early polls?
His offense will go to the wayside just like coach cals dribble drive at Kentucky you just have to do what works at that moment anything to win

All the other Coaches gotta do is watch FULL games of BYU here on CZcams????????
