Recruiting Football Talk VII

How so?

Well I don't ever recall AP rankings being a determining factor when seeding a team. All kinds of analytics are used to help determine seeds.

UK, for example.. Is a 5 seed as currently protected... Which is gonna be somewhere around 20 nationally. The AP has them 10th. Ken pom has them 24...

This is what has to be better, imo. ZZ most definitely; but, I've been saying it, Aidoo brings his A game, we can win it all. Those two can't have games like this.

At some point Barnes is gonna have to think about just not playing JJJ. He is just lost. Vescovi is gonna have to improve as well. We are talking about 4th and 5th year players that are playing like rookies. We can’t beat good teams with just DK and Aidoo, unless Aidoo is giving us 20 and 10+ every night.

Kenpom rankings are based off advanced metrics.
AP rankings is just writers opinions..

Yet every week we see teams that are way lower on kenpom beating teams with a higher ranking. So?

 

[VolGee4]

How so?

We’ve been over this. KenPom is a metric used by the NCAAT committee. It’s a common metric used by experts. It will also predict the group of teams that will most likely win the title because almost every title team is top 20 in both offensive and defensive efficiency.

Using Bama's Bryce Young as example of right way to do it....lmaoooo

Pat Adams was ref for Missouri vs Vanderbilt for inquiring minds...

Don't waste your time..

Wade Taylor with the DraftKings under bet

Wtf HOW?!?

 

[Orange.]

I'm not sure that is a good idea with me...

Nah. You'd love me, McGill. We'd have a great dinner. No .

 

[Devo182]

What a wild finish

EFF THE GATAS!!

[EezyE]

This sounds like a whole bunch of BS they just made up to try and save face.

I’d bet the TN/VA response will be extremely interesting. I’m sure they anticipated the NCAA’s responses and are prepared to respond. These seemed somewhat predictable. The Bryce Young example seems to be throwing something against the wall hoping it will stick.

As long he's not in a plane to Lexington right now... Great

But for real. The defense should be licking their chops with this. That's a scholarship player with a job earning money before NIL which was illegal according to the NCAA at the time

Sooooo have we been able to figure who will be on the whistle tonight?

 

[DawgInterloper]

We are literally fighting for our lives now; that's not hyperbole. If they win, and are allowed to hit us with a LOIC...while I don't believe they'll death penalty anyone else ever again, the sanctions that will be levied against us will cripple us for a decade or longer. Loss of more scholarships, bowl bans, and ineligibility from playoff. No one will want to play for us. We will be screwed.

As you said, it is us or them.

I honestly don't think UT's situation is that dire, mainly because the NCAA won't last long enough to enforce a ruling. It's not just that they've already been pummeled in court, or that their NIL rules have been intentionally obscure. The real problem is that the NCAA was not designed to regulate professional sports. They can't possibly oversee all of these collectives, sponsors, athletes, deals, contracts, plane rides, steak dinners, hotel suites; not even if they had full subpoena power over everything that touches college athletics.

To do all of that, the NCAA would need a bureaucracy to rival the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is obviously impossible unless they have their own printing press. So, yes, they're dead either by force or consent. IMO the most effective legal argument is that the institution is an ineffective relic and can't be fixed. Any future enforcement actions will be "arbitrary and capricious", because they don't have the scale or scope to do otherwise.

The situation in college athletics feels similar to the country/world as a whole. I don't know what happens next, probably won't like it, but big change is coming.

Nope, @TN-POSSUM area of expertise..

Looks like Doug Shows, Terry Oglesby, and Lee Cassell haven’t officiated yet today. Good chance 1-2 of these with only one more game than ours.

 

[knoxvol52]

BTW Justin Edwards is the other questionable to play or not for Kentucky along with Wagner ..

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

What about shows and Teddy V?

 

[BearCat204]

Jabari Small. Right?

Jabari Small was in the East West Shrine Thursday night. Jaylen Wright was signed up to play in this, but hes rehabbing an injury.

 

[VolGee4]

What about shows and Teddy V?

Teddy V did the UVA-Clemson game today. I think he’s been doing more ACC.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Losers.

I'm starting to think the NCAA is trying to sabotage themselves. . .

 

[Orange.]

Losers.

"Those rules" were not in effect at the time the falsely alleged "violation" occurred.

Good thing we have the President of UGA representing our interests as NCAA chair. Witch hunt.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

It's worse than that. This is jaw-dropping.

Anti-trust law is largely concerned with collusion to limit otherwise free markets. They literally defended themselves by reiterating the AGs' accusation.

It'l like they are shorting themselves in the stock market. They must want to lose.

Yes! That's what I just said, , I think they are sabotaging themselves. Maybe they know what will happen when the NCAA is dissolved and some of them have been promised positions on the new committee. Double secret agent style. Wouldnt surprise me at this point.
