The Beasman: Mark Pope stars in Breakfast at Whiffany's

About this episode

Beasman critiques Mark Pope's recruiting failures and discusses the potential of A.I. in creating future basketball players.

Now that the transfer portal dust has settled, University of Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope came up 0 for 15 in high profile recruits. Nada. Zilch. Zero. The Beasman ain't having it. People are calling Coach Pope "Ken Whiffey Jr" and other derisive terms like "Taylor Whiff" and a cameo sighting in "Breakfast at Whiffany's." Beasman is done messing with human players. A.I. will create the next set of Kentucky Wildcats.
