[JCP201]

I think last night went a long way into assuring williams is playing his last year as a Vol. heavily scouted game last night

I was thinking about that last night. That was just a legendary performance. We may lose him to the NBA a year early.

 

[PYSCHO]

Austin Smith is in the portal

Is that a hospital? Dude is hurt all the time and needs to sign with a medicine man that can do voodoo to get him on the field.

 

[TennGentry]

Good enough for this class, but that's not going to cut it from here on out if we want to get to Atlanta. Top 5-10 classes are a must.

Look at Clemsons last 5 classes

About the actual talent?
Edit:
I don't understand?
I care very much about the actual talent and not worried about a top 5 number on a recruiting site. Which is what I was suggesting to Bass.
Are you agreeing or saying you don't care about the talent?

who cares about rivals rankings.

 

[PYSCHO]

Haters hate. Best shooter in the college game ever. Unguardable in college

Really best shooter ever. Wow

 

[BruinVol]

I was thinking about that last night. That was just a legendary performance. We may lose him to the NBA a year early.

As I waked out of that gym last night I told my son that he just witnessed one of the greatest performances in our history and the young lad had a very intelligent response I thought


"It was a great game but I am not sure winning it was really worth not having grant next year"


I think he nailed it really

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If Rivals just drops 80% of our commits, then reaching top 5 on a site will be almost impossible.
Any idea what our class would be ranked without rivals "unbiased drops". The actual talent is all I care about.

That’s a good point

 

[SD189]

Curry>Redick

 

[PYSCHO]

Curry>Redick

Bird in college

 

[chargervol]

who cares about rivals rankings.

Oh, ok.
That's what I was saying. No reason to worry about whether the composite is 3rd or 8th next year, just if they have talent.
Or like the Clemson example, can coaching have them ready to play.

Allan Houston is the GOAT imo, but he just played with trash teams. It's a bummer, too.

 

[The Dog]

Butler’s always looked the part. Came in as a Freshman looking better than some of our upperclassmen.

For whatever reason, he hasn’t put it all together on the field yet. Hopefully he’s just been in need of development and will come on strong this spring and carry it over to the fall. If not, I’m not sure how much longer he’ll be in Orange.

A coach last year said Butler had all the talent to be a contributor on defense and was very intelligent. Then followed that up with Butler seems to think too much while playing instead of just reacting. Sounds like a fixable problem, imo. Looking at him in that pic, I expect him to be a factor this year

Feel like Houston & King are top 2 unquestioned best we've had.

Nope....give me Pete Maravich all day, everyday.

 

[SaguaroVols]

JJ Redick was a great spot up shooter but couldn't create his own shot to save his life. Depended on a lot of picks and iso plays to get open. He was able to benefit from a strong and loaded Duke interior game.

Jimmer Fredette at BYU. That guy made some insane shots and was a great ball handler and pretty much created his own shot all the time as he had to because his team sucked so bad.

 

[BearCat204]

I'd put Dale Ellis above Allan Houston.................not taking anything away from Houston though

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I'll throw out a name that doesn't get much attention for best shooter, but the guy was lights out from everywhere.

Steve Novak

Steve Novak

Anthony Mason.

 

[bignewt]

Anthony Mason.

Thunder Dan Majerle

 

[i2amavol]

We get no points for Gibbs, right? Still a valuable addition.

Yeah, that's the thing. We got Gibbs and Solomon, two former 5 stars. Some of our 4 stars were once 5 stars. We aslso "recruited" Tee, and Chaney. We are doing lights out, if you ask me especially if we close like we expct to. It's a nice problem to have - more wanting to sign than we have room for.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think Houston gets the nod for me because he -was- the team, and anyone/everyone they played was trying to stop him. Ellis played on better teams with some good talent around him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The only way we get a top 10 class is if we add Pickens, Henry To, and Wright. We need Pickens in this class for his ability of course, he's a freak, but if we want to be in the top 10, he's a must.

Who cares? The class is what it is at this point. You either like it or you don't.

 

[volfanCLT]

Would have averaged 50 with a 3pt line

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Anthony Mason.

Surprisingly bad free throw shooter. Novak is the closest to 50/40/90 I think I've seen considering he averaged 30mins a game and 12+ ppg.
