Agree on Phillips. Nothing about his game is getting him drafted in the 1st round yet.

On JJJ, betting his knee makes playing two days in a row a problem.

I missed most of the first half and part of the second parenting, but also was wondering about Aidoo’s absence. Looked like we went small the last 5 minutes and got torched by guys driving to the rim. Seems like Aidoo would have helped there.

We seem to be a lost team and really no identity on who is going to lead. With ZZ out, it shows, it’s like they doubt themselves with no leader. This isn’t a pile on CRB post, but they’re not exactly a fun team to watch NOW. I will continue though.

I'm sure you follow this closer than I do, judging by your conviction. But, what number are you looking at? I see 1 player in top 50, where Kentucky has 5.

Estrella and Carr are Top 50 on On3. Dillione was until he reclassed to 2022.

Was the Dillione reclassification even necessary? (sorry i'm talking basketball, and not gambling).

It's an advantage for him. Work on his game and get acclimated to the college environment when he would normally be twiddling his thumbs in high school. He had to work hard to be in position to pull it off.

Also have DJ Jefferson, who took a redshirt this year. He’s apparently a little raw offensively but a great athlete.

Sounds like TN is getting more raw talent.

With a massive Arena, top notch facilities, huge recruiting budget, tenured coach...etc its frustrating to see us trot out a team that is less talented than Alabama, Kentucky, or even MSU.

I realize Barnes lost a couple great recruiters. I understand Kensucky goes all in on 1 and done. I understand Barnes has his system. But, at some point you look around the room and ask 'is what we're doing making us better?'

One thing that sets Nick Saban apart, is the ability to adapt to new things. Implementing things outside of his comfort zone. I like Rick, but he got a massive raise and along with that comes bigger expectations.

There is no excuse for this program to take a back seat to Kentucky, Memphis, Florida, Missouri, Alabama. He created those expectations and was compensated well.

This fringe top 15 stuff wont cut the mustard iyam. At the end of the day, our team was slow. Couldnt find shots and would end up taking junk shots if a layup or three pointer werent open. Couldnt hit a FT to save its life.

They just werent very talented.
