We appreciate everyone's concern and I look forward to personally bumping these threads when Daddy Kentucky is hoisting the SEC championship yet again.
I think having a coach at Kentucky that teaches X's and O's is going to be juuuuuust fine. Imagine a coach with all that talent that Cal had, that actually teaches basketball!! The school and history will sell itself in terms of Pope getting recruits, so Kentucky fans shouldn't worry about that. I have a feeling these posters will be changing their tune in the near future. In my own personal opinion, I think Kentucky is in a much better position long term than what they were with Cal.

Yep, it might get fun again to watch a team play both offense and defense.

Kentucky will still get some high level recruits, but if you don’t think Calipari was a huge part in why they were getting top 2 recruiting classes every year then I don’t know what to tell you. I think Pope is a good coach and the system he runs is fun and exciting. It just doesn’t lend itself to highlighting NBA traits like Calipari’s “system” did, and that trust will have to be built up with recruits. He could definitely be a successful coach there, but it might mean getting through a couple of down years for Kentucky.
It is somewhat similar to what Duke and UNC did, except those were internal promotions who had seen firsthand how to run a premier program.
