Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

What a choke

The refs contributed but teams like UCF have to know that blue bloods will get favorable calls and that's part of the fight.

 

[VolsnCards5]

I hate Duke so much

 

[UTSuave’]

Doesn't he have aspirations of being a pro-wrestler? No joke, I read that somewhere.

With how wild he is in the offseason I seriously would not doubt it .

Imo UCF got A LOT of calls down the stretch. Really bad ones. Duke got them in the last 2 mins. But UCF was in the bonus well before Duke

 

[InVOLuntary]

Did they remove defensive 3 second violation? I swear Tacko just stands under the basket the whole time

That's in the NBA. There is no defensive 3 seconds in college ball.

So so so so so much

Zion charged like 2 UCF players. Normally, that wouldn't mean much but near the end of the game it matters. Regardless, it was a great game. I like Duke well enough and have a high opinion of Coach K but I also like cheering for the little guys.

The one call that should have been called for UCF wasn’t...Barrett pushed 15 in the back to get the rebound off of Zion’s FT miss and put it back to go ahead. If that was Grant, he would have been called in a heartbeat for a push in the back.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

That missed alley oop was horrible.

Thanks

That missed alley oop was horrible.

Would have been a back breaker

 

[Rishvol]

All the duck fans rushing to defend 2 nontech calls

 

[SweetasSoda]

We lead for this guy Daijun Edwards, Colquitt County, Running Back

And yet 247 says warm for Auburn, FL ST and GA.

 

[butchna]

so they don’t have two zions?

Cloning isn’t a viable technology. They don’t have Grant Williams or Admiral Schofield...just comparable talents.

That’s an NBA rule, not college. Only the NBA would have such a rule.

Edit: I am late to the game.

Wonder if Duke fans are castigating Coach K? Doing enough to win isn’t good enough.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Finally. What a frustrating win.

Which is so much better than a frustrating loss.

 

[Devo182]

Well not when you are a blueblood basketball program with national championship banners hanging everywhere like at UT. We must analyze everything to stay upon the pinnacle of the sport of men's basketball...especially since Barnes is on this board and takes all input for future gameplans.

It's been well documented that he stated he did not become a great coach until he joined VolNation.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I hate Duke, but I don’t see much force here. Looks like he put himself in a bad position. Jmo

I think you guys who want to fire Holly need to make a lot more noise if you really want her fired. I mean coming into the season she was ranked #3 for active coaches in the SEC for career winning percentage at 73.9% and now she is at 72%. The 2 players on her team this year with the most playing time were both ESPN 5-star sophomores, one a wing, the other a guard. She signed 2 more ESPN 5-stars to the incoming class, one a guard, the other a 6’5” post. The player on this year’s squad with the 4th most minutes was a Freshman, also an ESPN 5-star guard.

It looks to me like for the most part in the games we lost we didn’t shoot very well. I figure she could win maybe 7 of those 13 next year just on improved shooting alone. I’m telling you it’s going to be a lot harder to fire her next year is she gets to 26+ wins. It’s now or it may be never.

Coach Summit was a once in the life of the universe treasure for our program. If just anyone could measure up to the mark she achieved then she didn’t really stand out all that much after all, did she?

In all seriousness, I suspect getting rid of Holly is one of the last things on Fulmer’s mind at least for another couple of years so if you want to get his attention on this matter I think you really need to consider making more noise, not that I think that will make a difference. But hey, letting off steam sometimes makes a person feel better.

One last thing. I’m a bit pissed off that some of you have made me take a real interest in the Lady Vols basketball program for the first time in my life. Thankfully, spring practice resumes on Tuesday and I can get back to focusing on what is really important. #GLV

 

[drvenner]

That looks like a designed play.
