Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

Texas Tech is playing better than I expected.

 

[UTProf]

Yes. Pressure went up another notch last 3 minutes, we faded. Turnovers. Ruby Whitehorn has been great for us, and she was really good today; but, she killed us the last 2 minutes or so. There were others, but...three straight turnovers, nail in coffin. She seemed to wilt whenever the lights got brighter. She's been very good, though, so I'm not down on her, or any of them. Proud of em!

Those moments are made for the big-time player to shine. They pray for those moments, to be able to take it to an even higher level. Hopefully those types of ladies are about to step foot on campus. I think so.

Great season, girls!
Go Lady Vols!

Well said. I don’t fault anyone for it. They had a better season than anyone could’ve predicted but one the storyline’s throughout it is getting so close to victory against the current elites but coming up just short. For a team in its first season with a new coach and new system that’s a lesson going forward rather than a mark against them.

BaseVols win it 7-5.

Good squad. Well coached. Long game tho

 

[Jimmy Football]

BaseVols win it 7-5.

They’ve had better weekends, but still 2-0 and looking for a sweep.

Basketball games are ten frames.

I think Houston hasn't played anyone.

They've got a solid resume.

Wins:
Purdue - S16
Gonzaga - WCC Champ
Arizona x2 - S16
BYU x2 - S16
Texas Tech - E8
Iowa State - 3-seed

Losses:
Auburn - E8
Alabama - E8
Texas Tech - E8
San Diego State - Play-in

Edit: With that resume, I think they're definitely an E8 team. We'll find out if they're Top 4.

BaseVols win it 7-5.

I think they may be pretty good.

Vitelluh recruits well. Too bad they shave bats.

 

[DarthVol1]

The chickens thought they were going to steal one, but Clean Living Prevails! GBO! Bring yins brooms necks.....

 

[knoxvol52]

Houston starter as 4.5 pt favorites and the lines already down to 2.5

Houston's top reserve off bench is questionable for the game.....

 

[Weezer]

Great win for the BaseVols as they take the series. Wish the LVs could have pulled it out, but I see great things in the future for CKC.

 

[Ace]

Agree, recruiting could be better.

Buzz Peterson has to be a close SeCuNd

Tennessee semi-hindsight resume:

Wins:
Kentucky - S16
Florida - E8
Alabama - E8
Auburn - E8
Arkansas - S16
Louisville - ACC Runner-up

Losses:
Ole Miss - S16
Auburn - E8
Florida x2 - E8
Kentucky x2 - S16
Vanderbilt 1-1 - 1st Rd.

Very comparable to Houston's resume. And worth pointing out that both Ole Miss and Arkansas blew late leads to make the E8.

And by the end of tomorrow, it's likely we've beaten at least 1, and as many as 3 of the Final Four teams.

What's our 400 time?

 

[SoilVol]

Part of me wants an All SEC final four just to prove the gaunlet we all endured this year.

Part of me also wants Mich State and Texas Tech to upset Auburn and Florida. I think it would be better for us to play Bama instead of Duke.

 

[SoilVol]

What's our 400 time?

At least 3

 

[SSVol]

What's our 400 time?

In which inning?

 

[tnhunter 10]

 

[Enki_Amenra]

In which inning?

At least before 3rd period intermission

Buzz Peterson recruited most of the players that Bruce Pearl coached in his first season. Buzz didn't leave the cupboard empty...

A pic worth sharing..

 

[knoxvol52]

Braves vs Padres now on FOX sports if individuals rather watch baseball instead of Florida and Alabama.
