To be fair, that’s not exactly how it started. You said “we need a 5* big man” Bruin said “we have one his name is grant Williams” you said “grant is not a big man. We need a 6’10 grant Williams. I thought he was a bit exposed tonight”

When y’all started talking about Alexander. You said “we don’t have a true 5 on the team. Closest would be walker. If we had a 5 that could score around the basket, just think how much it would free up grant” Bruin said “Alexander is a true 5. He’s just inconsistent. Solid but not a dominate player”. Then you went on to say he’s not physical enough for the 5 and Bruin was like that would be great but there aren’t many like that, blah blah.

Yep. He's freaking lost his mind or just being a liar. He flat out said Alexander didn't play the 5 for us and now he desperately wants the embarrassment of that inaccurate post to go away and he's resorted to lying.

You should hate yourself for your lack of support staff knowledge. Literally everybody knows that there's not a true director of player personnel with the way the modern support staffs are structured. I feel sorry for you and everyone who knows you.

I haven't followed lady Vols. I know everyone was riding Holly hard. All of a sudden she has them rolling. What happened? Was deshields a Hurd type cancer? Seems to be the team got better without her

Freak can we clean up the last 6 pages of garbage. Football thread in a football forum and it’s all basketball. None of you knew we had a team until Pearl showed up anyway.

Man he was so fun to watch. Him and JaJuan smith filling it up from the Vandy star at mid court is something I’ll never forget.

Best team I’ve ever seen the Vols have. Those two, Chism, Tyler Smith. JP prince. Lawd

Definitely the glory days of Tennessee basketball for me. Those teams were so much fun to watch. Still wish Pearl was still here.

Cleanup on Aisle 1. Lol
BTW, this is not the Football Forum and do not call it the Football Forum again. Thems are fighting words.

I'll take a stab at it. Have watched several games including today.

1) Better players. The incoming class (4 if the IIRC) is special, rated #1. It appears her next class is equally as strong.
2) They play to their strengths better. Good at transition with all of the new talent. In half court Mercedes Russell combined with Nared's assertiveness and scoring this season has helped them avoid being one dimensional. Russell was unstoppable today (33 points) despite Vandy's double teams. She moves much better and is going to the hole.
3) Good, consistent D. Which comes from players doing their jobs without all the drama from Deshields and others in the past few years.

Holly seems to be much more in control of herself/emotions this season and the team is much more focused and having fun. Will see what they really have over the next couple of weeks. Regardless, they are much improved.

Pretty cool moment of Jordan Allen & his mom. Sounds like she's been through a ton.

I love the kid. But offensively there is no definition of an interior post player, a center, a five, other than height, where Kyle Alexander fits. Remember, this all started where I thought the addition of a true interior post player would be a great addition and bruin said we already had an elite post player in Kyle Alexander.

Also, question. Not trying to start an argument. Just curious. In your post you said Grant wasn’t a big man and that walker could be one. Later, you said Grant plays the 5 and sometimes Schofield. What’s the difference between a big man and the 5?

"Papaw Bruin, how do you fish?"

"Well, Sonny, first you put some bait on your hook and cast out your line. Then, you wait til a fish starts tugging on your line."

"What next?"

"You reel him up to the boat."

"That's when we take it home and cook it for dinner, right?"

"Haha. No, no. Once you get him to the boat, you want to let all of your line back out, and then reel him back in. Keep doing this until the fish has become completely exhausted and starts to hate its life."

"Then we take him home?"

"Wrong again, son. Then we let him back into the water and hope he soon recovers and forgets the nightmare he has just endured, so maybe in the near future we can hook him again."

"Are you sure about that, Papaw Bruin."

"Yep. Been doing it my whole life. And I feel so bad for you if you think there's another way to fish, boy. It's really sad."
