Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[InVOLuntary]

That foul/tech foul that happened to Louisville was bad. Let the guys play the game

I actually thought that was a payback for the prior play when they pushed Kyle from behind completely out of bounds.

 

[chavisut]

Horrendous final possession by Duke

Thought it was beautiful.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Duke got fouled like hell on the last possession

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

So many big games for us out of conference. Kansas most likely, then the Zags, and later on WVU. Memphis potentially a tough game being on the road.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Duke who?

Those baller Vols looking great!

Who needs one big in Mt Zion when you got two in Mt Grant and Mt Admiral?

Improvement to be had for sure, but plenty of time until March. Really looking forward to watching the game against Kansas!

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Duke got fouled like hell on the last possession

Eh. Maybe.

 

[RikidyBones]

Duke got fouled like hell on the last possession

nah. straight up. no blood. no foul. no room for jive turkeys on these Gonzaga streets.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Glad to have Lamonte back! Bone and Bowden look great. Fulkie helping out big time. Yves didn't have his best game, but he'll help out a lot this year!

 

[VolGee4]

Man, I hate it when Clay is actually right about something. He's such a blowhard most of the time.

He isn’t quite right about the roster, but he is right about the job Pruitt has done.

 

[Orange Studs]

I’m not done.

Gonzaga won. Beat Kansas and we are in the conversation for number 1

LOL WOOOHOO !!

 

[VolGee4]

Are these SEC refs?

One is from the SEC- Joe Lindsey. They pull from different pools in the preseason.

 

[JCP201]

Fulkerson was playing well and then we didn't see him anymore. Did he get hurt? Foul trouble? The others were playing better? Seemed like our team got better when Grant/Alexander bumped heads.

This is going to be a fun basketball season, I hope.

I recognized his ineptitude

 

[volatil]

ESPN already has Kansas beating us .

“I would say Gonzaga will Be number one over Kansas because they have a more impressive win.”

 

[Aesius]

I know this team is going dancing regardless but if Kansas wins and we beat them we will have essentially punched our ticket already.

Two possible flips to TN on this list.

Also, outside of Auburn and UK, the SEC is terrible. We should win most games even if we struggle some offensively.

Beat Kansas Friday. Beat Gonzaga Dec 9. Vols #1?

Would be awesome.

What a resume that would be

 

[vol2002]

What a resume that would be

Yeah lots of things have to go right but fun to think about! Could be #1 heading into our game at Memphis. Would somehow seem like we’ve come full circle in basketball...

 

[SugarCC]

What a resume that would be

#1 seed in Dance.

 

[RikidyBones]

#1 seed in Dance.

#1 seed in NBA playoffs.

 

[Aesius]

I think Fulmer is going to preside over a very successful era of UT sports and it starts this year.

 

[vol2002]

#1 seed in Dance.

Yep. And whatever happens, at least the opportunity is in front of us.

I love Rick Barnes’ scheduling philosophy. Our team learns and grows from these early opportunities against elite teams win or lose. This season, we not only have a learning opportunity but an opportunity to truly distinguish ourselves in the national conversation.

He isn’t quite right about the roster, but he is right about the job Pruitt has done.

I don't see how he's wrong about the roster given that we've been the dog in every game. Sure, you can use the on paper argument about the roster but the reality is that it's the worst we've had in recent memory. It doesn't do us much good to have all these great skills players when we can't give the QB time to throw or prevent the RB from getting hit behind the LOS. We have similar issues on defense. Those star rankings haven't helped us so much as slow down a spread team.
