Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[ChattownVFL]

Barnes is done. It's over

 

[Weezer]

"generational" please---Allan Houston was a generational talent.

But his daddy was a horrible coach...

 

[VolGee4]

How is that not a foul or goal tending? These refs are not even hiding it. I’m so sick of this conference.

It really is crazy. I quit watching. But the flagrant at the beginning of the game by Pat Adams was ridiculous. I don’t know why I care anymore if the conference puts out **** for officiating.

 

[#JuanVol]

Jjj shooting ~20% from three so why does it seem like he has the green light to keep jacking them up

I just turned it off. I was gettting too mad. And the. They threw Vescovi to the ground and he literally looked up like WTH.

For college only, Grant was a generational talent. Not many 2 time SEC players of the year.

 

[VolNash17]

Id rather take my chances with an up and comer. You might get lucky, we know what Barnes is

My thoughts exactly… go try to steal a phenomenal coach from a decent lower level conference. Pay them barnes’ top 5 salary and I bet you we’ll see better play instead of consistently getting our heads beat in by Auburn, LSU and recently Alabama… seems like those programs are moving up while we’re stagnant

Yes. Ive been saying this. Another one of my takes Ive gotten flamed for because people dont want to believe it.

 

[Weezer]

I wouldn't blame officiating for this game, we've just played bad. But if CRB wants to blame officiating, he should just pull his team off the court and say he can't beat LSU and the officials. We're gonna lose anyway. Make a statement while doing it. Call out the officiating and give them a big FU.

seems our five star bball players don't have same type of success as others

do think this team is up and down

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

They’ve had 14 draft picks in the past 3 years including multiple 1st and 2nd rounders

Irrelevant. We have had more talent. We always out recruit them and almost always beat them.

KC is a legit talent, but he's still just a freshman in college.

 

[BigSteve09]

Could see this coming from a mile away. Kept the football game on while I was cooking and just read some tweets that confirm that I made the best decision to not watch a second of the basketball game.

I said it last game, but sometimes our emphasis on composure just turns into us playing completely flat for stretches. I get not wanting to be too energized, as to not get into early foul trouble, but we look uninspired

 

[Smokey123]

If you value recruiting rankings over draft picks…. Yikes

 

[Smokey123]

Lsu has 19 fouls and could and should have 30

 

[Smokey123]

Ofc no over the back but then call that on the shot

 

[Jackcrevol]

it hurt us not getting a big who can score

I said talent. Not draft picks. Using rankings we are more talented. That shouldn’t be hard to understand.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Our issues last year…no reliable shooter and no length inside. Recruits both in portal and signing class…. Won’t play them. Stubborn mofo

 

[99Vol]

Me coming back from dinner with the Fam and turning on Vols V LSWho….

 

[Smokey123]

Recruiting rankings isn’t a good judgment of talent

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think the truth is this basketball team is very good defensively but not offensively and will struggle to beat the better teams.

It is what it is.

 

[VolNash17]

Yes. Ive been saying this. Another one of my takes Ive gotten flamed for because people dont want to believe it.

I get why people get comfortable with tournament appearances but at some point we’ve got to do more than just that. The SEC is getting stronger in basketball as well. With Barnes getting older almost perfect time for a move of that nature. He stabilized the program and it should be attractive with the Top 5 national salary we’re willing to pay and the resources we’re spending for Basketball. Completely agree with you

They'll struggle to go .500 in the conference.

Letting Barnes retire and giving the job to English wouldve been the perfect move before this season
