What’s a great team without a great leader? Not a great team at all, I’d say. Kentucky fans saw all last season what is was like to watch a Mark Pope squad struggle to find their way without a vocal floor general; even as Otega Oweh dominated the stat, the unit around him often looked lost.
This offseason, likely as a means to quell the BBN’s frustration to some extent, Coach Pope has offered multiple looks behind the scenes at his third-year team’s summer operations. Just today, he posted a post-practice update of Kentucky’s “winners board,” and it may give fans an early idea as to who is leading the way ahead of November.
With the picture on X, Pope noted that practice “Got headed in the gym today,” with wins this summer having stacked up to 48 a piece for Zoom Diallo, Jerone Morton, and Malachi Moreno. These are the guys, as we approach August, that are making the most winning plays in practice.
