Maybe Jackson knows they are only taking so many receivers and that UT is in on a number of quality ones and he wants to be a part of the class sooner rather than later!
I also noticed that Zakai came out for just a moment before the 4 minute timeout, I believe. After hearing the comments about Zakai only coming out if he lets the coaches know he needs to, makes me think that part of his shooting yesterday was fatigue. He'd played all 40 minutes just 36 hours...
I know Aidoo struggled against good bigs this season. He didn't look the same after a couple of those hard falls against Texas in the 2nd round. Maybe some residual effects from that?
No making excuses for his play, just pondering it.
If Peyton Manning can 'lose' the Heisman after being the prohibitive favorite all season to a player who played big in his team's big games, then why can't Knecht win the national player of the year over Zach Edey?
Seems like Coach Barnes has a pretty good comparison with Driesell. Successful at multiple programs. Put a lot of players in the NBA, and both haven't to date won a NCAA championship and both are going to finish with almost or over 800 wins. And, both actually have a personality on and off...
