Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Nico is so focused on Spring practice that he stoled a piece of chicken from my plate at lunch to make sure his muscles are good and strong!

Barnes replacement options:

1)Grant McCasland - don’t think this would happen as he’s a Texas native. Tech isn’t necessarily an elite job, though. I’d make him say no

2) Shaka Smart - He and DW have a relationship. Would he leave a comfortable situation at Marquette for a shot in the SEC? Probably not, but again, I’d make him say no.

3) Brad Brownell - I know this one wouldn’t thrill a lot of folks, but he’s a much better coach than he’s given credit for who may be ready for a change of scenery. Again, make him say no.

4) Mark Byington - would he leave Vandy after one season for an in state rival? I think he would be willing to listen.

5) Bucky McMillan - this guy has “Danny White guy” practically stamped on his forehead. His style of play and record of success would make him very appealing to DW.

6) Ben McCollum - he’s a winner. Has four D2 national championships and is doing very well in year one at Drake. Could he recruit at this level?

7) Ryan Odom - led UMBC to arguably the biggest ncaa tournament upset ever. Has VCU at the top of the A10 this season. Not a flashy guy, but he’s won everywhere he’s been.

DW’s track record says he will hire an analytics driven, offensive minded coach that plays an exciting brand of basketball.

So whoever falls in that category will be a candidate.

Xavier homerun!!

SORRY, THIS TEAM AINT REPEATING!

TIME FORA FAHRIN'

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

We can do better than anybody them.

Chris Mack would be great.

 

[JCVol00]

Interesting tidbit I just heard from AP...

He thinks Rickey Gibson will go through Spring Practice with the team...surprising to me considering his future is uncertain with the team.

That AP’s way of saying he thinks he’ll be back?

 

[JCVol00]

Is Barnes retiring

Yes














either this season or in an upcoming season

No ****....

 

[JohnnyD1024]

He played for Barnes at Texas

 

[Rishvol]

Curley is over thinking his throws right now

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Lady Vols have an opportunity to get some revenge on Vanderbilt tomorrow.

Vandy beat us 71-70 on a last second offensive rebound and put back in our only regular season meeting with them

We will be in the early game again tomorrow stating at 11 am

If we win we play South Carolina in the next round.

 

[knoxvol52]

Need to get the Xavier starters pitch count up and get him outta here. 1 hit thru 3 innings..

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Seems like a pretty solid addition as an analyst

Behind a paywall. Who is it?

 

[InVOLuntary]

The landlord is raising the rent....$25

1. Glad it's not more
2. Wtf is the point?

I raised the rent on my tenants just to cover an increase in insurance premiums. Maybe that's what he's doing.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Is Barnes retiring

Just speculation on when he does

Im getting carpel tunnel with all these emails.

100% Tony V will win at minimum 3 natties but I expect a handful before it’s all said and done

The only thing I worry about TV is him being hired by a MLB team for whatever position. I don’t believe he would go anywhere else in college, considering how much Danny has given him. However, TV seems to be a different breed. Not to mention their S&C coach.

 

[hooperj75]

I’d like to see TV switch Curley and Killeen in the lineup. Curley strikes out too much for a leadoff hitter.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Seems like the baseball team decided to leave their bats asleep

Cant reveal until 2pm
