from time to time he may throw zone at the opponent. Not as a way of life, but just to disrupt chemistry of the opponent.

Everyone keeps saying having too much length could actually be bad for defense because of quick guards. While I have no idea how good any of our players actually are on defense because our whole team is new, I would counter-argue that the length will make filling gaps, picking passes, and protecting the rim much easier. Even if quick guards get by the first lane of defense, they have to shoot a layup over a 7 footer coming to help. Should be interesting.
What about Kofi and Trent as a rim protector and seasoned point guard?

players make plays. coaches coach. trainers train. nevermind. I thought I had something good to contribute for a second.
Pope is awful at the recruiting part of the job. Everyone on the circuit says the same thing and he's not a fun conversation.They can talk whatever they want … From their couch in March …
They wanted Cal gone because he can’t make the 2nd weekend anymore … Just to hire a guy who has NEVER made the 2nd weekend …
No one fears Mark Pope on the recruiting trail … He did not win a single high profile recruitment this off season … Not one …

And we knew since the weekend
He is 12/12 for crystal balls. Can they change predictions or is it once you make your prediction it stays until the player makes the decision
I don't think it's worth worrying about whether our height is a benefit or a hindrance until we see them play together.
There are different ways to play good defense, and I think it depends on a lot more than height. Houston led the NCAA in opponents' ORtg with a ridiculously short lineup (tallest was 6'8" and 3 guys at/under 6'3") and Iowa St was second with a slightly small lineup, while Tennessee and Auburn had more traditional size, and UConn had a 7'2" giant and nobody under 6'4".
Someone on his own staff has told me how bad he is … Everyone said how great the Riley visit went at UK … I had UK staff tell me that it didn’t go well … I also had UPLAY people tell me it didn’t go well … Will thought Pope was a weirdo …
I do not think it’s going to end well for Pope at UK … I really, really don’t … I think they can probably get to the tourney but I don’t see a 2nd weekend team this year and they might get Jasper Johnson but Jaspers already tied in with Coleman Hawkin’s agent … Who for those who don’t know goes WAY back with Antigua … Jasper is no lock to UK … And if Jasper goes elsewhere it’ll be like DJ Wagner going to UK over Louisville … Nail in the coffin …
I’ve been wrong before, and I’ll be wrong again … But I think I’m right about this one …

My understanding agrees that Tomislav is not a shot blocker, just a big dude that can alter shots. I do remember hearing from Brad that Booth is "elite" at shot blocking. Those two playing together could throw a tough look to opposing offenses in the paint.
My crystal ball has been in since before the visit …
Those who have been following along already know …

Wow I personally have a hard time believing BU OA and Riley are going to be together at UK in 25/26 but I guess it is what it isSomeone on his own staff has told me how bad he is … Everyone said how great the Riley visit went at UK … I had UK staff tell me that it didn’t go well … I also had UPLAY people tell me it didn’t go well … Will thought Pope was a weirdo …

Riley cuts Arkansas after UK visit
Mental health should be taken seriously. You should go be seen for schizophrenia. Having a million accounts and irrational outburst isn’t normal. Even basic trolling isn’t really normal, well adjusted behavior but you’re on a whole other level past trolling. It’s definitely scary, I wouldn’t...
