You both are full of **** and I will be proven correct. Kyle if he gets a chance beyond Tennessee will never play the five. Fives are post up players and Kyle never post up. Kyle is a face the basket player. His body is no where close to being a five. Your ignorance is astounding. And having TGO on yours side only enforces that.

Need some bro help here guys. Go easy on me please.

I was in a 6 year relationship with the girl I thought I was going to marry, we broke up in 2014 & I've been on like 3 dates since. I met a girl back in September that completely changed things for me. Completely knocked me off my feet. Like everything I've been praying for & more.

She was a few years older than me, we connected, talked for hours upon hours every day about everything under the sun, & we became each other's best friends. She told me countless times "I never want you out of my life I wish I would have met you earlier" blah blah. I've Never felt this way about a girl except for the one I dated for 6 years. I've never been the type to sleep around or date a ton, so when I feel this way about someone it's pretty special.

She randomly just cold turkey stops talking to me about a month ago & it would still be that way if I hadn't text her & told her merry Christmas.

Anyways I just now saw on social media that she's dating some other guy & he's a pilot too, which for some reason makes it sting much worse. I feel absolutely sick at my stomach. What to do from here?

tl;dr: I'm an idiot

Coming from someone who had very similar experiences in their mid-twenties:

Meet more women.

3 dates in 3-4 years is the issue, IMO, especially coming off a 6 year relationship at age 25. No way you’ve met enough women to be sad about these two.

Take care of yourself, as others have suggested. Download tinder, swipe right on every woman; talk to them, make stupid jokes and get their number. You don’t have to sleep around, just go on a couple of dates each month.

If you feel like you have a strong connection with someone and they dump you cold turkey or aren’t there for you, they weren’t the right person. It sounds cliche, it sounded cliche when people told me, but more experience makes it make sense.

Surprised he didn't say he would be a Pg since his body is similar Magic.

There you go showing how little you know about basketball. Magic did play the five some and magic was also 5 inches shorter but out weighed him by 30-40 lbs. Magic posted up more in one game than than Kyle has his entire career at Tennessee. Just because someone is tall doesn't make them a five. Like I said earlier go find me one pro that 5 that weighs 200#. I'll wait.

It's no more rediculous than to say he'd be a five. The dude weighs 200 lbs. Point guards in the league weigh 200 lbs.

Kyle Alexander is a 5 for Tennessee. He is not an NBA prospect and will not play in the league. He doesn’t have the skill set to even play 3 in college, much less the NBA.

I don’t recall anyone saying he would play 5 in the league. I believe you were the one that inserted the NBA into the discussion.

I’d just move in on from this if I were you. But jmo

The discussion started when we were discussing needs on this team. I said we needed a true five. Bruin said Kyle was a true five. I said he wasn't and you just admitted then same. I never said Kyle was a three. I said his body type was closer to a three than a five. Reading is your friend. If you're going to interject yourself into an argument you should at least know what's being argued. Bruin in his typical manner knew he was wrong so he changed to make it something it wasn't. Jmo

Let's get some football talk going in here. Anybody have some pretty good knowledge to share on West Virginia? Think we'll be at least a slight underdog going into that game.

Also the 1-5 labels in basketball are outdated anyways.

Offenses and systems are so fluid these days that there aren’t always defined 1-5 roles. The stuff we ran was 4 interchangeable guards and a big, and depending on the big in the game they could pop out too.

Your very wrong in this. Multiple people have pointed this out but it appears to be a lost cause.

No worry on my end. Carry on in your thinking.

I agree. KY doesn't even list a center on their roster. Their tallest player is 6-11, 240 and he's listed as a forward. The positions on the floor are about skill set and body type. Kyle doesn't have the body type or the skill set to be a five. They may call him a five but he's not a five.

I'm not wrong. Played the game all my life and coached too. You Bruin, and TOG have said I'm wrong. TGO and Bruin have zero clue about basketball it's obvious. You siding with them gives me an indication about your level of knowledge as well.

So Basketvols show up and play to their potential last night! I'll eat crow and say that I thought the Arky and then AU game would send us off the cliff... Looks like after the AU vs Arky game, both teams are legit. We did start the first half looking like we picked up where we left off against AU, but we found our rhythm.

Hopefully we can stay in rhythm and Barnes finds a way to keep us focused... Vols that are focused and confident are deadly... Vols that stay out of synch and out of mental focus are abysmal... Barnes has to find a way to keep them in the middle for the rest of the season.

I hate to step in on the side of what looks like to be a losing argument on here. Barnes himself has said that while Alexander's natural position is a 4 he has to play some 5 for us. He definitely slides in and plays a 5 at times. I also played. Coached youth only. But I feel like I know the game better than most. I'M no expert, but that's my two cents worth.

So true, many rosters in basketball today don't even bother listing a five. It is hard to define what a five is these days. You have forwards, bigger forwards, wings , points. True 5's are getting to be kind of rare.

This is excellent advice.

Also, the older you get, the game changes. When you’re in your late 20s, and you have your act together, they begin chasing you instead of the other way around. You just have to do one thing: don’t be an @$$hole.

I have learned that we have a bunch of ugly basketball players. Not one of them rates higher than a five and he's not a five all the time. CRB needs to recruit some better looking players or UTKNate may have to find something else to follow during the football off-season. Come on CRB!
