Even Maximo Adams, ranked 40th, is stepping into the picture, gearing up for his official Kentucky visit in early September. It’s clear Pope isn’t just thinking about the here and now—he’s architecting a legacy, hunting for that elusive ninth championship banner while meticulously sculpting a dynasty with eyes on dominion years down the road.

The schedule is now complete.
This is going to be a great weekend.
