Recruiting Football Talk VII

[orangesoda]

Could just hire Edey and he would just have to recruit good FT shooters.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Someone just mentioned a name I had no clue about.
Brenda Frese. Maryland.
She would be really good.

I’d be good with that.

I’m not sure the LV forum would.

What are you doing posting? You're supposed to be covering the airport for this new coaching search.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Count me in for Hammon. Throw bank at her and a long term deal. Then sit back and watch the LV's win NC's.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I’d be good with that.

I’m not sure the LV forum would.

At this point. We could hire Pat herself back and I'm sure half that forum would have something to say.

Basilio going into more detail on Nico: he’s not good, not great, he’s insane. Not sure how to discuss it because he’s afraid it will put too much pressure and expectations on Nico and Heupel. After all he’s still a freshman and hasn’t played much. This guy is better than Hooker but the question is how is the rest of the team? Is it better?

In Jack Burtons opinion the rest of the team is better. We’re probably more athletic at LB and secondary. Basilio said our DL is so good it could field 3 teams.

It's a lot of hype, but I wouldn't be shocked about Nico at all or the D-line. I'm more worried about the receivers.

Contrary to some, I think Nico will have had plenty of experience leading into that NC State game.

He got here in 2022 and participated in every bowl practice.

2023
Winter workouts, spring practice, spring game, summer workouts, fall camp, 1st team reps in the middle of the season when Joe was hurt, played in four games, was Q1 for the whole bowl season and kicked Iowa's ass.

2024
Winter workouts, spring practice, spring game, summer workouts, fall camp and then kick off against Chattanooga.

All of that before his first big game in Charlotte against NC State. A ton of first team reps and reps overall and he has gained weight like we needed him to. He'll be ready to go, I know that. Freaks with that much development typically do well.

just went 19-14….. hasn’t been to an elite eight since 2014-2015…. i’ll pass.

5 mil per. 10 year deal.

She's currently making $1 million per year.
Dawn Staley is avg roughly 3.2 (22.4 mil on 7 years). Harper was making roughly 1.1 mil.
Not sure what is needed or what we actually have to give, but I'd assume if we are truly swinging for the fences, we could pay her more than the Aces.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Let's try that logic elsewhere.




You seem intent on ignoring cause/effect when it suits you. It may be that both offense and defense suffered *because* of the "horrible" game calling you admitted to having seen.

Its horrible, for everyone. We could lament our pain and anguish, or simply admit to ourselves we missed plenty of opportunities.

All we can control is how we play. That's my point.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I mean….he will be in his 70’s. Nothing against him, he is a great coach and I love having him, just saying that if I were to put money on when he retired it’d be next year

we say this every year

WASH, RINSE, REPEAT...

In a few more years, maybe he'll decide to run for president.

 

[Glitch]

Have you never watched E8 games before in your life?...every team making the F4 has cut down the nets for as long as I can remember

UT has never made it there. What is there to watch?

 

[DD4ME]

It is not easy hiring coaches. I hope they figure it out.

 

[Govolsman98]

He may be considered too young for office at that point

 

[SSVol]

Fair point.

 

[Glitch]

Making a F4 is a big deal..it shocks me that you didn't know that. I am beginning to understand why it seems that so many people here have little understanding of college basketball.

Of course it is a big deal, but I still don't get cutting down the nets at that point. You still have to win two more games to be the champs. It just seems pre-mature to me. If that is what they do then that is what they do. I just think it should be reserved for the actual champs.

Wait - who’s the guy to Ripken’s left? Only one I don’t recognize.

In Jack Burtons opinion the rest of the team is better. We’re probably more athletic at LB and secondary. Basilio said our DL is so good it could field 3 teams.

Can we have @Jackcrevol reach out to her?

Your point is misplaced in the context of the conversation. The conversation was about how the officiating affected the game. Your answer was basically, "We just needed to make more baskets."

That's ridiculous, as it completely ignores a major reason that we didn't score more (officiating against us), and the reason why we would have to score more (officiating FOR Purdue). Every team misses opportunities in every game. The cost of those missed opportunities will vary from game to game. The officiating increased the cost of the missed opportunities (and likely caused more missed opportunities as we changed our play in response to the officiating). IOW, both teams were going to miss opportunities, no matter what. No one will play perfect games. But the unbalanced officiating put UT in an untenable position per opportunities.

You know why we needed to score more? Because Purdue scored more. You know one reason they scored more? The officiating. You know why we needed to score more than we did? Because we didn't score more than we did. You know one reason? The officiating.


That's OUR point that you glibly hand-waved aside.

The teacher didn't use the correct answer key when she graded your test? Well, you can sit and complain about it, or just admit that you should have gotten more answers right. All you can control is the answers you write, right?
