Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Do you even Bru, brah?

Bru’s game is more physicality than blazing explosiveness, tho the sitting for almost two years cut into that last season imo.

I watched a replay of the game and tried my best to take off my orange glasses. I still just don't see what the big deal is about how that game was officiated. Saying it wasn't basketball, but rather football?!?! I just don't see that. It was basically a glimpse of what basketball would be like if they didn't call every single meaningless and non-impactful ticky tack foul. On the flip side, I watched and re-watched every play that was called a foul and think they got almost all of them right. Maybe one or two that were borderline? I guess that feels like a completely different sport to Duke fans.

It was the flopping that Jay was using to support his whine.

You just said an Elite 8 is a "huge accomplishment."

It is. That's why it cannot be the "expectation." It cannot be both of those things. An expectation by definition cannot be something that is a huge accomplishment.

My boss expects me to be at work on time and work 8 hours. Therefore, being at work on time and working a full 8 hours is not a huge accomplishment. That's the standard.

The floor expectation has to be something that should, by any reasonable condition, be accomplishable. The standard should be a solid result.

And each season can and should be different. If you're a Top 8 seed, it's reasonable to expect a Top 8 finish.

I expect to make the tourney just like my boss expects me on time. A successful season should be a Top 16 seed and/or a Top 16 finish. I expect Barnes to maintain us as a Top 16 program. But if my car blows a tire on the interstate, it's reasonable for my boss to not expect me to be on time.

I personally call a season a success if 1. SEC season title 2. SEC tournament title 3. Sweet 16

The expectation is 1. Top 4 SEC regular season 2. Top 16 seed.

Not all of them have to happen simultaneously. For example, we finished 5th but made the Sweet 16. Still a successful season.

If we were a 1 or 2 seed, I'd move "success" from Sweet 16 to Elite 8.

It's just totally irrational to EXPECT something every year that the program has only accomplished once in 114 seasons.

Well said.

Jeez, he's 6'5"? He moves like he's 6'

 

[SpookyAction]

I place Byron Young 1st.
I can take CSimms seriously since Will Levis is not above Hooker.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Very smart...

No respect for the game!

 

[BigSteve09]

Or he thought he could outrun them and keep it.

That player made like 10 massive mistakes in that whole situation. Another one is that if you're riding with a guy who carries a gun and distributes drugs, and tells you to "punch it" to escape from the police, you probably don't want to tell the police all that.

 

[SmokinBob]

This started because the first thing you said was that a basketball season is a "failure" if we don't make an Elite 8.

It's not. It's just a huge accomplishment. And a failure, by most people's rational standard, is the NIT.

To me, a failure as a program is being invited to the NIT and turning it down…

Danny White should go and offer Kevin Harlen all the money to come to Knoxville to call football and basketball.

View attachment 542095Well…. Mr Oats would disagree with you Nick! Gotta love the infighting over there in tide land

Well Nick disagreed with Nick when it came to Jermaine Burton.

Sigh. I am not sure I will be able to read the next 80 pages or so of Mayo debate.

Speaking of mayo. . . why isn't the standard mayo bottle squeezable, like mustard or catsup?








(Also wondering how many people I triggered by calling it "catsup")

Can I claim their win over Purdue now???

Can I claim their win over Purdue now???

Pretty sure he's been signed by Iona already

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He had it all the way.......




Until he didn't.

That commitment caused him to enema himself.

 

[ionaVOL]

Pretty sure he's been signed by Iona already

Yes he has, he was a finalist for the job in 2020 when they hired Pitino, now he’s replacing him. Hopefully he can convince some of the current group to stay onboard

FAU is top 20 in both ratings, wonder if this chart takes into account SOS at all?

Daniel Jeremiah 2023 NFL mock draft 3.0: Bucs, Colts, Panthers, Texans, Vikings pick QBs in Round 1

Hooker in the first round

HH to the Vikings would be a homerun for both sides. Having those offensive pieces would be ridiculous for him.

 

[drylo]

My biggest complaint is that Roach was able to play 34 more minutes...he fouled far more often than anyone on UT and somehow never had his 5th called.

I’m sure Bilas was complaining about this too. You must have just missed that segment.

 

[Glitch]

There is one customer that we meet with an hour every week. This customer employs a consultant who has a very small piece of what we need to discuss but completely monopolizes the meeting. I want to smack her so hard.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If I'm looking at it from "best fit" for HH I'd say Vikings, Denver, Seahawks, and 49ers could all be great spots to land.

Vikings = weapons for days and they play indoors
Denver = Sean Payton
49ers = weapons, warm weather
Seahawks = Pete can build a team and takes care of his QB Wilson looked like a completely different QB in Denver

Dolphins would be his best fit. Offense and wideouts match him perfectly. That and tua is trash.

Floppers gonna flop.

We need to have A Conversation about NC State’s egregious physicality.
