Great, gutsy win today. That said, Jabari Smith…

[brockytop]

is the second coming of Kevin Durant. Kid’s a player.

He is projected to possibly be the top pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Kid’s the real deal. It’s hard to be that tall and have that type of offensive game. Kudos to him.

Barnes was able to design a defense that limited both his and Kessler's effectiveness. God Bless the Deacon.

How did Auby attract Smith and Kessler?

Smith and Kessler are both from metro Atlanta, southwest of the city, both just up 85 from Auburn, with Tech and Georgia not very competitive, Auburn is the closest major hoop program to Newnan and Fayettville, Georgia. An easy sell for Pearl as he continues to pull talent out of metro Atlanta. Nobody thinks either will be back next year.

 

[hbvol1982]

Kessler transferred in from UNC. We swung hard for him and missed. He should be a good pro too, just not like Smith.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He's the real deal. I'm shocked they didn't force feed him more down the stretch.

 

[golfballs]

Can someone remind me why Kentucky supposedly quit recruiting him

$ame way we landed Chandler.

 

[The Dog]

Agree. That falls on the selfish guards. If Auburn is a one seed or 2 seed, they will disappoint, because their guards are selfish and suck. Feed Smith and Kessler and they dominate, but they won't, because it's all about Johnson and Green

 

[Ttucke11]

Same caliber of attitude as well. Take that however you like.

How did Auby attract Smith and Kessler?

I’m probably late but obviously it was a BBQ at Pearl’s house that got him

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

He's an entitled punk. Gonna get his mouth closed the hard way in the NBA.

 

[papatomany]

43% is not Durant level. He may get there, but he's not there yet. Personally, I'm happy with our opponent's best scorer hitting 9 of 21.

 

[VolDaddy61]

He's not nearly as skilled as KD, not taking anything away from the young man, but let's pump the brakes on the Durant comp.

Yep, you can't force-feed a guy and expect his shooting % to go up. Auburn will go as far as their mid-major type guards KD Johnson UGA trans & Green a East Kentucky Trans. If these guys are hitting you can't stop Smith & Kesseler & Auuburn. If they're throwing up bricks and they never stop they have to get lucky to beat Missouri or a team like UGA. So BP still giving them the green light will be an early exit at the NCAA's IMO.

Based on what? Apparently he is entitled to his damn buckets.

 

[TNRazor]

Favorite part was Uros getting in his head and getting him T'd up

 

[Coddlecreek1]

He's the real deal. I'm shocked they didn't force feed him more down the stretch.

That fortunately for the Vols is one of Bruce’s weaknesses, little or no offensive structure, (whose so ever got the ball may shoot it) . GBO
