Some can enjoy both and not take personal offense to cold hard facts. Some don’t feel it’s their job to lecture other fans because of it. Show me on the doll, which of the facts I shared are touching you in the wrong place?

15 years? Seriously? We still have conversations about Majors and Fulmer. My hope is Barnes breaks the glass ceiling, but gawd damn, when you have to go out and spend like a drunken sailor to do it?? I can’t help but think that the same folks applauding this roster are the same ones talking out of the other side of their mouths when it comes to NIL.

Spending $$ = better players

If he makes a F4 I could care less about the amount of $$ it took.

Fair enough, but I’d advise taking a step back from fandom and really analyze what’s going on. When you can simply buy a roster, how much are you really earning?? Hey, kudos for Barnes beating the bricks for the $$, but still no garauntee he’ll get there.

Try to follow your own argument short bus. You claimed tampering is going on. My question is where is your proof? Oh, and Basilio with his 2 cups and a string insider doesn’t count. Hit me with real evidence

Basillio landed every single prediction and was all over the Juke thing. When literally everyone said Michigan, he said, nope. Must break your heart.

We have a few fans who just can’t enjoy what we’ve done. It’s not really surprising considering what some of our society has become. But it’s amazing these conversations are still being had…15 years later.

You say that, but I regularly see conversations about coaches who were gone before I was born.. and I’m middle aged.

Barnes is doing better than expected this time of year, so I’m not interested in talking about any basketball coaches. No need to justify exceptionalism. No need to look back when things are as good as ever.

Interesting seeing that the first I saw to break the story was Austin Price on the VQ. Doesn’t break my heart that Basilio has a Volquest membership. They are quick to report breaking news on all things Tennessee.

Plus, Pearl’s Elite 8 team was a 5th seed that was 2 points from the F4. Purdue was the closest Barnes got. The other two were absolute beat downs. I commend Barnes for changing up his player profile, but it’s still in question how his style of coaching will work with this group. If Pearl were coach of this roster, I’d book my F4 tickets.

lol. You’d book your F4 tickets? With what your aluminum can collection? You still haven’t backed your supposed ‘facts’ about Barnes tampering. I’ll just chalk it up as your usual talking out of your mouth a$$

Uhhh, Austin appears on Tony’s show and Tony has never failed to give credit. You brought Tony up, so don’t blame me for your stupid comments.

Ahhh, you don’t have my proof. You don’t believe that Barnes had folks approach Tyler Tanner? K.

Stupid comments? You mean like saying Rick Barnes tampered? And then doubling down stating that your low information opinions are facts? Don’t think you’re in any position to grade intelligence on this board. And good for Tony having AP on his little basement show. Means he’s finally going with legit sources to peddle his hot takes

You should be saying 56% (his 2-point percentage, which IS elite) and 33% (his 3-point percentage, which is not elite).

Overall fg% is a meaningless stat. Stop referencing it.

"Stop referencing it"? Really?

Actually I should be quoting effective field goal percentage, which takes in the number of points a shot can actually score. 52.7% for Juke, which is very good, but still not elite. (I'd break it down more if I hadn't cancelled my StatHead subscription.) Would be way better if he passed up a few bad threes and added a few more slashes. Great slasher who cranks up bad threes is not as good as great slasher who knows a good three when he sees it.

Anyhow, I'm through now. Looks like a very good pickup. Not, we're automatically in the Final Four good, but very good. Certainly increases the chances over not having him.
