God I hope so. I have a family member in Charleston who is a big SC fan. I cannot handle her making fun of SC having a better recruiting class than TN.

When we drop 60 on their ass and Neyland Stadium is exploding her mouth will shut real quick

We had 2 5* the year before

Keon didn't have an offer from any of the schools I mentioned. Jaden only had an offer from UNC but wouldn't have gotten any playing time because their backcourt is loaded. Let's not sit here here act like he was just out here taking 5* after 5* from those schools. Also JJJ who I'm a fan of as a player didn't have an offer from any of those schools either.

Well, I finally went to Pal's and I got the Big Pal with cheese and Frenchie fries. Pretty good, big piece of meat (I know, twss) and the fries may be the best fast food fries ever. Of course, I'm stoned and starting drinking at noon, so that may or may not cloud my judgement

Pals is solid, but I wouldn't go as far as best fast food fries. Their breakfast is good too.

If I could bring one chain from TN to the Missouri/Arkansas area it would be Cookout. Similar price to Pals, but better.

And Bojangles. Man I miss bojangles.

The NCAA needs to disband. It's a joke and it will just ppl are seeing it for what it is more and more. Or just have the power 5 conferences break away from the NCAA.

Sounds good but it would end up being more like defunding the police. No rules would run the sport in the ground. Even though they make one dumb decision after another.

Following up.

I’m not going to argue with you. I don’t follow basketball recruiting closely.

VQ I know you check this board. FYI we don’t care about your opinions on NIL. We want to know about Football Recruiting. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

JJJ chose UT over Duke. Lol at a top 10 NBA pick not being sought after by many other schools.

Go look at the offer lists on 247

Permanent 2nd tier is what we’d be looking at. Might have that one-off year where everything aligns (and probably still lose one we shouldn’t). Some “New Age” approach they’re putting together.

Ahhh, we're trying to get to the 2nd tier. After we get there, we can reevaluate. Y'all keep trying to jump to the top of the ladder instead of climbing it. That hasn't been working.

What are you talking about….. both Keon and jaden are predicted to go in the top 23 of this draft from the latest mock I have seen….. that is higher than any guard from any of those teams.

So does UT offer everyone that goes to Duke and UNC?

That's fine. The only thing that Barnes can do to change my mind is make an EE, which will never happen

Anybody talking about recruiting rankings in June is a fool. For many reasons. We have 5 commits. Our class is just getting started. SC has 11 commits. Of course they’re ranked higher. KY never recruits in the top 30 and that isnt gonna change this year.

By the time February gets here, not only will we have a full class and not 5 players, but player rankings will change a dozen times. Many players who are 4 stars will be 3 stars in February. Many players who are 3 stars will be 4 stars in February. It is absolutely stupid to worry about where we’re ranked in June.

I don't understand why people who stay in the recruiting forum don't understand this.

No. I just want tier 1 to still be reachable with the ladder.

I don’t have to. I know so. JJJ chose UT over Duke. Clemson was kind of in there as a local school. He also had other big time offers.

I can’t argue with this mess. What’s funny is I googled Keon about his commitment, and his exact quote was Rick Barnes puts people in the NBA and develops them.

There the ones usually at the top aren't they?

CWS Game starts at 8:09. Hope the Whistler gets drilled in the head with a Foul Ball.

That would be awesome. She is an insufferable SC fan lol

Geez that’s pretty negative of you. I don’t think that’s out of reach at all.

Believe what you want about JJJ.
I don't GAF about where Barnes puts people, win in March. He doesn't do that

LOL you can't imagine a scenario where the big 5 have their own set of rules? You think the only possible way to have rules is with the ncaa?

The whole point of breaking away is to set up newer, better rules and actually enforce them. Why would you think breaking away would involve getting rid of all rules?

Yep, the truth. Which you have trouble figuring out.
