Recruiting Football Talk VII

[NoogaVol96]

I don't read it that way. I read this as saying we (Spyre) did nothing wrong. They're just getting out ahead of this.

well in order to put the ncaa in their place you have to get out ahead of things… which is what they have been doing.

If you played you should know that teams have off nights, some teams are bad matchups, sometimes one guy gets hot and beats you, sometimes a team is playing really well and they beat you, etc.

Or did your squad go undefeated and look magical every time out?

Vols are what they are. Vescovi isn’t gonna be less streaky, Mashak is gonna continue to be the defensive heartbeat but provide little on offense, JJJ will continue to be a role player, and DK will continue to be a killer.

Gonna be fun watching them and see how far they can go. Just wanna be rollin in March.

It happens quite a bit with these Players. I'd like to see more plays run for JJJ for instance. We're dangerous when the other team has to defend all over the court. I'd love to say 'don't leave Viscovi open or you'll regret it'.

But again, mostly positive. I think this team will make a deep run and Barnes will make adjustments as needed.

Swap FT shooting percentages and we win by 5 and nobody's saying much.

Basketball can be so simple...and yet so complex and hard to understand the "whys"

I was putting the brakes on the talking heads crowing us SECC's, and FF team.

I dont buy stock in basket vols hanging banners, because their offense frankly hasn't been good in years.

 

[Jackcrevol]

What I am kind of worried about is the negative recruiting. That has been happening to us ever since Heupel got here. Now this may start it up again.

So, will Dalton be a top 5 pick in the NBA? Keep this up and he may go top 2. Also, I assume he's done growing.

Probably too old. Sucks, but he’ll end up on a better team.

Guard for GT trying to play hero just cost his team. GT still has a chance

My thoughts on the NCAA situation:

While I agree wholeheartedly with Plowman's letter, I'm afraid it's going to make the NCAA dig their heels in deeper. They are so desperate to remain relevant. The problem with all of the "we will sue the crap out of them" talk is the time horizon. They could easily rule Nico ineligible for next season for taking improper benefits and dare Tennessee to continue to play him with the potential of the vacating of wins and no playoff eligibility.

The NCAA has shown that they won't stop until a case has reached the Supreme Court, which takes years generally absent extreme circumstances. As a private organization, the NCAA can govern itself in any fashion it wants, even applying laws retrospectively. Even the Tennessee law, if applied strictly, will be litigated throughout 2 or 3 levels of state courts.

Unfortunately, I think the only way out of this is for the NCAA's investigation to determine that UT and Spyre's conduct was above board. I think our best hope is that the investigation and the subsequent appeal process is lengthy and does not conclude until the completion of the 24-25 season.

While it will be the NCAA's death rattle, they can still inflict maximum damage until there's a sea change in college athletics.

GT guard made up for his bad shot GT up 1 with 4 sec left

They why’s of this game are pretty simple. We were not good enough when it counted. 60% for the FT line? That’s terrible. DK needs help. The dude has carried us for the majority of our big wins. I put the regression of JJJ on coaching. Also, I don’t like Barnes philosophy of you just have to keep shooting the 3 even if you are missing it most of the time. How about instead of that, tell the players to drive to the basket? Much higher percentage shots.

GT wins

[Enki_Amenra]

Down goes the tarheels. . . fahr Barnes!

 

[Devo182]

UNC losing to a 9-11 team.

That's a Q4 loss. Woof!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

UNC just got hosed

 

[SoilVol]

Pat Adams and the NCAA can collectively go fork themselves. Go Vols.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

And UNC goes down. And if we would have won, we could have moved up. But no. We had to lose.

 

[jakez4ut]

Anything can happen in March..still can have a good season..

No disagreement. And I'm not 'mad'. But I was really starting to believe this team had games like this well in it's rear view. Disappointed i guess is a better word, for this game.

Pat Forde too..

They can’t do anything. Relax. The sea of change just started if they don’t retreat

“Hey Tennessee pays you 8 mil and charters you on private jets, don’t go there!” I’m sure that’ll work wonders lol

Yeah it’s not that deep they are investigating allegations if they find or have something we get a notice of allegations until then we continue doing business as usual.

Let's hope this doesn't just drag on, putting an anchor on our rise. Very reasonable perspective though.
