Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TrippieRedd]

I admit I don't follow the NBA very much..............But DK is a whole lot better in the league than I thought he would be.

I figured a 12/14 pts a game guy.........Good, but not a star.

I was way wrong.

As much as I hate to say it, he went to the perfect team.

Russell been struggling since he was born, and Cam Reddish offers nothing but decent defense. Besides that, no one else really played other than the starters.

I thought he would be better suited for the NBA just because of the way the league plays. No real positions and free flowing offense. Just feed him the ball and let him play

 

[WesTnVol]

We need to put a beating on Vandy 20+ points. Texas beat them by 3 and it’s considered one of there “key” wins
I think our best hope for upsets are
1-gators beat Ole Miss-Saturday
2-USC beats Notre Dame next Saturday
Dobnail boot
Auburn -Kentucky -Vandy
Do us a solid this weekend

Exactly, look at Julian Phillips who truthfully wasn't very productive in his 1 year at TENNESSEE but now is starting for the Bulls in the NBA. Totally different game ..

Max is starting to play better for Lakers. Him and DK could be a lethal combo in the future.

Yeah NBA is almost tailored to his game oddly enough. It helps he went to the Lakers because James and AD force teams to protect the paint and a catch & shoot guy with length should feast there. Also JJ is a far better coach than Ham which helps.

I still ain't rootin for the Lakers.....but glad he's doing well

He hasn't started a single game in his NBA career...and only plays 14 mpg right now. But your point still stands, NBA is a different game and offensive players with good size are able to have great careers.

I will say though, Springer and Keon both left too early. Keon has done alright, but I think both with at least one more full year working with Barnes would have been far better prepared to play in the NBA.

 

[JT3]

So let’s say penn st,ole miss,notre dame win and Ohio st loses…how will that make you all feel?

We wouldn't get in. Ohio St would have losses to the #1 and #5 ranked teams. They wouldn't drop many spots. Really need them to win by 3 scores this weekend.

 

[eVOLve]

There’s still a lot that can happen the next couple of weeks. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the rest of the season because it’ll be a long time before football comes back around.

Springer still only 22

It'll make mo feel like kicking you in the balls.

I was wondering why you were standing on the top rope now i know…it hurts but no seriously does that help us at all or do you think they’ll slide someone else in

 

[UTSuave’]

That's assuming we win out, including SEC Championship game.

Sheesh

 

[knoxvol52]

Springer still only 22

Lil youngin

And buried on the bench in Boston, glad he got a ring but needs to be on a team to get ample playing time.

Based on the rational given by the committee members you literally cannot count on that Vandy win doing anything for us if we win it, even big. They obviously aren't going by any set of criteria, they are just slotting who they want and where and making up rational in an attempt to justify it.

If we get in it's because those in front of us got upset and no one behind us did anything to impress. There's literally no game left on our schedule that is going to move the needle in a positive direction, in fact the remaining games can only hurt us.

All we can do is all we can do. It appears to me there is still some "political fallout" we have left to navigate.

 

[lilesrt]

Let's hang 70 on UTEP & Vandy then

This offense won’t hang 70 on anyone.

 

[UTSuave’]

Jalen Williams
Last Year:
- 19ppg, 4rpg, 4apg, 1.1spg

This year:
- 21ppg, 6rpg, 5apg, 2.2 spg



Dyson Daniels
Last year:
-5.8ppg, 3.9rpg, 2.7apg, 1.4spg, 0.4bpg

This year:
- 15ppg, 4.8rpg, 3.2apg, 3.4spg, 1.1bpg


Yeah, you can’t go wrong with either, I guess. I just prefer Dyson.

What do you think about Franz,lamelo and Jalen Johnson stats..compared to Dyson ?..those are nice stats as well..I’m split on Dyson and Jalen Johnson

 

[UTSuave’]

Why do you think Illinois is in the top 25?

Great point

 

[UTSuave’]

Starting to lose confidence that Ohio State is going to blow the doors off Indiana

Slowly starting to look like the only loss will be Ohio st

 

[Jackcrevol]

shocked the players are talking about it publicly. they aren't wrong

just a sliver of what is being said in the locker room and around the facility

why not? they should dog it. everyone deserves an equal shot. but you dont get rewarded for playing no one. Tennessee should be in at 9, or 10. Alabama should be either one in front, or one behind.

Logic and reason has given way to ego of BG10 officials.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Great point

 

[Go Fight Win]

Knecht about to light it up. I feel it

nice call
