Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No mid game meltdown here
Just ready to move on
Haven’t been excited about bball since the AS, GW and JB team
IDK what’s going on but we are just boring to watch and don’t seem to play hard anymore

WTF are you talking about? This is a very good defensive team which is totally effort.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Knowing how this series usually goes. It’s probably complete opposite at TBA next time

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Bingo...it is a very uncomplimentary incomplete team.

I think the pieces we need are sitting on the bench. Fulky and Plavsic do not match the rest of the team's athleticism

 

[Smokey123]

Santi has 20 points

I think the pieces we need are sitting on the bench.

Yet when they're in the game they don't show it

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Yet when they're in the game they don't show it

Lack of real game time experience

*BHH plays well when he's in and Aidoo is better than Plavsic

 

[Smokey123]

That spin move

 

[volfanCLT]

That spin move

A little better than Uros airballing a 6’ hook shot and then getting burnt back down the floor for a dunk on defense

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That spin move

But Barnes wont play him

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

KC/Santi/Powell/JJJ/BHH. Bailey should never see the floor and all our bigs suck, so play the promising freshman.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I usually agree with you McGill but ****
It’s just hard to watch man

I have watched UT struggle to win 10-15 games for most of my life..you need that perspective. Basketball is a weird sport anyway, especially in college with all the stupid one and done killing roster cohesion every year. I wish Springer and Johnson had never stepped foot in Knoxville and Barnes had found him some more guys like GW, JB and AS.

But but but Uros isn’t a freshman so he can play

 

[reVOLution33]

This team is underwhelming.

As is nearly every Rick Barnes coached team!!!

 

[Orangeburst]

Bad enough UG won the title, now they have a live televised celebration inside Sanford.

Idiots left the trophy unguarded and I am doing victory laps in their parking lot.

 

[Smokey123]

JJJ needs to play the 4 more. BHH needs more minutes. Bailey doesn’t need any minutes. This should have been happening since the beginning of the season

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No

They've had multiple tournament seasons every decade of existence.

We are still primed for another tournament run and another great recruiting class. Might as well keep him and keep the program strong

You've lost your mind. We have never had a consistent program. Making the tourney 3-4 times a decade is nothing.

I agree with the rest of your post.

Barnes is too damn stubborn

 

[Smokey123]

We haven’t allowed 100 since 2006. Unbelievable

 

[VolGee4]

He needed more minutes when we were beating cupcakes by 30. That’s where you work on his defensive issues.

Way more talented than anyone else in the front court.

I’m not sure some of you pay attention. BHH logged at least 14 minutes in every cupcake game, including 19 minutes twice and 23 minutes against UNC.

We played a tough non conference schedule, and he’s played less and less as we got into conference play.

 

[Orange.]

Hot sauce take…

You never need to spend more than about $2 on a bottle. The quality just doesn’t justify a higher price when there are a ton of great cheap sauces

In Thailand maybe.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Barnes is too damn stubborn

1000%. Guy makes a mistake on defense and then never gets run anymore. Can’t win games if you don’t score, Rick.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Are all KY fans on meth or is it just the ones they show on TV?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I seriously doubt that would happen. Danny White has shown he's capable of hiring good basketball coaches

It's a crapshoot

 

[volinexile17]

I think the pieces we need are sitting on the bench. Fulky and Plavsic do not match the rest of the team's athleticism

The least athletic guy on the team is leading it in points.

I agree with the rest of your post.

The program since 1998 has only had 3 losing seasons. I would argue the basketball program is the most consistent program we have at the moment
