Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Garren04]

Offense is just brutal and we can’t defend the 3 point line

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Just ready for tournament time.

Our ceiling is the Sweet 16 right now and that’s gonna depend on the draw.

 

[Smokey123]

Im switching to baseball at 2:00. The basketball season is over.

Don’t be ridiculous good grief

 

[DD4ME]

I believe, but whew

 

[jakez4ut]

I think he's done.

I'm not willing to go there yet...

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Offense is just brutal and we can’t defend the 3 point line

Quite literally the same thing every game. But they try to tell us its a well coached program.

People said we’d be a first or 2nd round exit last year

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I love Rick Barnes to death but I get the frustration. This is agony.

 

[InVOLuntary]

If it was a one off it would be different. At some point you are what you are. This team will be an early exit from both tournaments.

 

[jakez4ut]

We're just too easy to defend right now.

 

[Rockytopoftheworld]

I would rather get a wide awake zero anesthesia colonoscopy than watch this version of the Rick Barnes offense when it’s creeps it’s ugly head

LV Softball is currently on SEC+, if you can't wait

 

[VolNash17]

Rick has Tennessee set up for long term success. Combined with Danny White pulling in millions in basketball upgrades and his hiring abilities I have no doubt the Vols will pull a good replacement when Rick retires. He mentioned retirement earlier this year with ZZ that made people wonder.

 

[InVOLuntary]

They gonna score 100 in our house?

We got smoked by A&M in the final month of the season and then got smoked by MSU in the sec tourney last year. Had multiple games scoring less than 60

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The defense is yikes today

 

[JCVol00]

Getting embarrassed on our home court against VANDERBILT

 

[VolNash17]

Mark Byington would be interesting. He can clearly coach. JMU and now Vandy. Aggressive defense and uptempo offense (similar style profile as Caldwell, Heupel) Vandy was picked 16th in the conference and is likely to make the tournament for the first time in years

 

[Rockytopoftheworld]

Rick when his old school hard coaching zaps the offense and confidence right out of his team, happens again and again year after year

 

[DD4ME]

14 smh

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just ready for tournament time.

Very short tournament season playing like this

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed. Really disappointed.

This team is handicapped on offense and their defense is sporadic. I didn't comment at all at KY because I knew and expected to get asses kicked at KY. Losing to a very average team at home in Vanderbilt is pathetic. An embarrassment. And we're getting blown out of our own gym.

First time I really noticed it was UF, but we've been saying the same ole thing in a lot of games since then. I hoped it was a 1 game anomaly back then, but seems like it's part of the team's dna.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think it's hard to watch this game right now and not be critical...I mean... We aren't playing well anywhere... We're on pace to get blown out, swept by vandy and UK... That's not good considering the ceiling this team has.

It isn't, though, a referendum on the state of the program on the whole... Or this season really. Now would I put money on a final four run? Prolly not lol.
