[SeniorDrill]

Very interesting comments in this interview! It is the beginning of segment I, 2-10-15. Think you will be surprised.
The Tony Basilio Show

what did he say?

 

[VFL10]

Main thing I got from the interview was that Donnie feels like the NCAA investigation has not hurt recruiting whatsoever.

Absolutely no other way that he could answer that. He is also lying. Having the NCAA parked in your driveway always hurts recruiting.

 

[orange parmejohn]

what did he say?

He mostly chit chatted but said that their depth has caught up with them. Very personable guy. I took nothing of note from the interview. Said he can't comment on NCAA. His general sounded relaxed and confident but that is just how he sounded to me.

I'm not sure what we are supposed to be surprised about with this interview.

Is he lying or just not making pre-emptive excuses?

:hi: ok Thanks.k:

I'm not sure what we are supposed to be surprised about with this interview.

Most reasonable people would be surprised with the detail he goes into as to why the NCAA investigation has had zero effect on his recruiting. He should know I would think. He's signed two and says two more are in the bank.

If that's the case, we better get used to the NIT. I was praying his lackluster recruiting was because of the NCAA. If it's not, then we in trouble.

Basilio compared him to Gregg Marshall at Wichita State who does a lot without the 5* recruits. Matter of fact, Basilio asked him if he valued toughness over prima donna talents. He replied that toughness indeed was a pre-requisite. He wants guys that will carry the fight all the way to the basket. Worth a listen to make a comment.

 

[ranradVOL]

Yeah, UT doesn't need any 5* players. Donnie can do it with 2 and 3 stars!

Best,

Coach Cal

Where in the hell do all the Negavols come from!!Sheesh!Go away!

NIT is better than the NCAA tourney. Its better for recruiting.




but I do agree with you.

 

[Fijivol72]

I know I am in the minority on this board but I just don't see him being the coach at The University of Tennessee. Maybe Austin Peay, but I do not think he is ready for prime time. Let me put it this way he is no Bruce Pearl and if we are going to get slammed for his behavior, I would choose Bruce 100 times out of 100.

I listened to the pod cast and he did not say two more are in the bank. He said they have 2 signed and are looking to add two more. So that is not 2 in the bank

What, SD is embellishing what Tyndall (or anyone) said? Say it ain't so...

Fabrications!!

 

[volbeast33]

Fabrications!!

That's not the important part......if they hired me as coach....I could sign two more guys......it's who u sign that's important

 

[BurninOrange]

Fabrications!!

I usually try not to call someone out but we need to be honest about what the man said not what we want him to say.

 

[volbeast33]

Where in the hell do all the Negavols come from!!Sheesh!Go away!

Giving an opinion about ur team is not being a nega vol

 

[SeniorDrill]

Begging your pardon but this was not the first time he has said he has two more he's gonna sign. Don't you think he would know that with signing day being two months away? You ain't called out nothing but your own theory.

not sure what to think of this

 

[SeniorDrill]

Fabrications!!

Sadly you are the one fabricating. He has said on more than one occasion he has two more he's going to sign. He should know, right? Trust the coach just like Butch Jones. His last 2 may well be wanting to make a big production of it on national tv on National Signing Day in April.

Its not the first time that somebody has had to call SD out over things that DT supposedly said. This is the way SD rolls.
