Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[GiggerVol]

Truth. Young folks don’t know how good Bernard was. He’s in the conversation for the top 50 players ever.

And to think what might have been if he hadn't tore up his knees and it ended up costing him about 3 yrs of his already HOF career.

 

[volatil]

The more @Catbone frets and types negative posts, the better off we are.

It has worked the last two games anyway.

We really need to start a GoFundMe for him to never watch another game Tennessee is playing in any sport

 

[InVOLuntary]

Yeah...that was 25 years ago when I was 6" and 175 and could dunk...

 

[shoney]

I’m about 10 pages behind. Reading this while knowing the outcome is hi-larious.

Yea some fans will probably wake up like this, they gave up on not passing out when we were down 6 with like 1:20 to go.

@Bassmaster_Vol

Can confirm that Pruitt and fam cheered for Tennessee... and were decked in orange.

Family tells me they are nice, southern folks.

Let’s go!

 

[butchna]

lol at Vol Twitter and their love affair with Dan Wolken.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Lol...I just caught that.. I gotta leave it though..that is hilarious..

Was going to say “your poor wife”, but kind of hated to go that far.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I could see Bone having a Kevin Johnson like NBA career if he can continue to improve his shooting. That is who his game reminds me of.

 

[Coach Punk]

Coach K-like laser focus. Can’t play bad defense against Bama and Vandy and expect to get deep in the dance. Lesser teams should be taken care of. I hope they are just trying to work through a slump and not starting to read the papers.

And golly geez that Under looked so good earlier today. I bet a lot of people made Vegas pay with offering that -10.

More hops than Johnson, but yeah.

The defense was really not that bad imo..That was the BB equivalent of a wishbone. Vandy will not shoot that high a percentage outside again this season. If they shot their normal percentage tonight we would have beaten them by at least 12 in regulation.

 

[Brillovol]

6”?! Poor you.

TWSS

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Quicksilver, and I agree on the hops, but KJ was a better shooter to this point in Bones development.

 

[SmokinBob]

More than you want to know, but...

They used the Bama blueprint. They know we 5 position switch on D and count on a big to come down to defend the rim. So teams are moving their screen game further outside and back door cut. We are a relatively short team. If Alexander and Grant drop down to defend, that leaves the 3 open. Teams are knocking them down. The guys finally adjusted in the last few minutes and in OT by fighting through the screen by the defending big leaving room between him and the screener for the ball defender to get through. If the guy still got past him they would bring somebody from the wing to defend at the rim. Against Bama there was only one good 3 point shooter. Against Vandy, there were several.

Some teams do not have the roster to do that type O. We will roll them. This is the style we will have problems with going forward and all of the opponents know it now. The good news is so does our team and coaches so they can work harder on it. Fulk was pitiful tonight and nobody on the bench handles it well. Pons is decent at it, but is a liability on O. So Barnes has to watch his minutes.

Good analysis - Bama and Vandy showed us our weakness. Barnes is smart and so is the team. I think they’ll get it figured out.

 

[shoney]

I thought it was obvious, but I see what you are saying..

I figured you just kept going because you were in a "Super Zone." Those only happen maybe once or twice in a lifetime. A man can't stop at 21 if he's in a super zone. I got into one once playing dodgeball in middle school, what a day.

 

[InVOLuntary]

BaskVols rule. Glad I dont live I Arkansas where they are passing a bill to microchip employees. Wow.

Did you read what that bill was about? I don't think it means what you think it means.

And that's saying something:

Who in the world is the dude on the far right?

He looks like the black hulk.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Watching the game again, it is down to the last 3:50 or so, Vanderbilt is shooting out of their mind...and it is just remarkable how this team does not look rattled at all on closer study. In real time the aggravation, frustration and apprehension among us was palpable, and I think I may have felt the team was feeling the pressure too, but watching this closely and I don't think they did at all..except for AS they were pretty much all composed.


This is a special team.

[LynxVol]

Well played by Vandy. They shot really well from 3, above their average for sure. They ate the shot clock each possession thus limited our amount of possessions. They didn’t play open, and they played to keep it close. It helped that they shot really well overall.

Schofield’s slump has to end soon, right?

Grant Williams’ shoulders are going to be tired tomorrow.

Bowden’s dunk though.

It’s me brah.

I was showing the lads a few things and didn’t step out before the snapped the pic

 

[Big Orange#1]

Grant was one free throw away from tying record for most consecutive free throws made in a game & 7 makes away from tying record for most free throws made in a game. The consecutive free throws made in a game record is from 1959.

What?
