that everyone's going to like each other, right?

Like maybe the personalities don't clash.

That's the hardest part with projecting all of this.

Now, if you're just talking on paper, I really like what they've put together with this group on paper, right?

My question to you is, and if there's any Kentucky fans out there listening that want to weigh in and give an actual Kentucky fan perspective, please call in 859-280-2287.

But I just –

We went from saying, man, I don't know if this is going to be a top 25 kind of a team.

It's like, yeah, you know what?

This team's got second weekend potential.

And I just wonder if that's is that enough for Kentucky basketball?

Right.

We're not talking about Alabama.

We're not.

we're not talking about some of these programs where like, if you are a top 20 team, you get to the tournament and you win a couple of games, like that's a really good season.

We're talking about Kentucky Goodman.

We're talking about programs that measure themselves in national title, not even final fours, national titles.

Is that going to be enough for a Kentucky fan?

yeah i i don't think i understand that and they do measure themselves with national titles but i don't think right now you're saying hey we have to win in that obviously that's the goal that's the goal for any team the kansas the kentucky the carolina the duke the arizona the ucla any of those teams but ultimately for mark pope right now he's got to show that he's the right guy for this job long term and i think in order to do that

To me, the goal is be a top-ten-ish team all year.

Be relevant all year where Kentucky fans can be proud of this team.
