Memphis is trash.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

LSU is really good.

Meh. Jack up 3s and pray kind of team.

 

[Catbone]

Step below US and Kentucky...but they are pretty good

3rd best in SEC imo

i played pickup & scrimmaged guys on our HS team. We had one guy sign with NC State and couple play at smaller schools. Guys were good.

Many years later, playing pickup at ETSU - got to see Calvin play pickup with other current ETSU players. There is a huge difference, i cannot overestimate, big difference in those guys and dudes in HS. Just crazy to see guys that big, and that fast jump out of the gym.

Yves is a big time player...Not sure id say that.

BTW, Calvin still dunked on the kids.

My sister played softball at ETSU, I've also seen Calvin make the young guys look bad. Didn't he win the NCAA slam dunk contest in his day?

I got this one.

Not been impressed with it, the blade isn't as wide as the Fusion and the pivoting from the Fusion just seems to give a better glide over the dome. I always toss on some of Nivea shaving balm though, that stuff is amazing!

What is that, a snow mobile?

[jakez4ut]

That's Auburn

 

[BigOrange15]

Memphis is trash.

Just following the leader.

 

[InVOLuntary]

3rd best in SEC imo

One player got half their points.

 

[PYSCHO]

So?

He has done a good job at sc thanjs

 

[PYSCHO]

Elite 8 is still the Elite 8. Whose players did he have at SC?

Did not say anything about sc read the post I think I said k state but could be wrong please double check for me!

 

[PYSCHO]

There was only 1 senior on that elite eight team...

Thanks

 

[Alto1]

Calvin brought it................... He's a BAD MAN!!!!

 

[LynxVol]

Auburn put up 41 3pt shots tonight. Yikes. Think they average in the low 30s in 3pt attempts per game.

That’s like double our average attempts.

Really really good read on Barnes and the team. Must read, IMO.

Thanks, enjoyed reading that. Barnes may seem to stay on his players, but you can tell that he believes they need to have fun too. I told one of my coaches this year that we needed to always do some things with our players that they have fun doing. We always do at least one fun drill or activity each practice and special celebrations after wins. You never want them to start thinking about sports being like a job. You can tell that Rick Barnes has no problem loosening up and having fun with his players and staff.

Sounds like we got 3 spots, maybe 4....not much football recruiting to discuss for NSD.

Wright & Russell

Wright, Solomon, Harris. 24 man class. Call it a day and catch up on blueshirts a bit. Maybe take 24 next year with maybe only 1 blueshirt needed or take a straight 23 and get fully caught up. Fine by me.

Yoda is probably the greatest recruiter of all time. He recruited and trained Jedi for over 800 years, and only had a couple that ended up as bust. H*** of a talent evaluator he was.

 

[Catbone]

It's probably a little too early for football predictions, but here's one for you guys:

Tennessee need to win at least ___ games in 2019 for yourself to feel like it was a successful season.

 

[gordonr24]

Memphis is trash.

Good at home but always exposed on the road. Will be the same next year when they trot out a lineup of mostly freshman and sophomores. Memphis fans are kidding themselves with their high expectations just because they landed Wiesman.

 

[Smokey123]

Tennessee need to win at least ___ games in 2019 for yourself to feel like it was a successful season.

That’s tough. For now I’ll go with 6 as the absolute minimum, but I’m not 100% I’d call it successful.

Now if we include recruiting and how we look in losses. I’d definitely call a 6-6 season with a top 10 class and competitive vs everyone except Uga and Bama successful. Year 3 is where we gotta see a pretty big jump imo

 

[RikidyBones]

@Big Gucci Sosa or any other of u guys know of any good breweries in Atlanta?

applebees

 

[Devo182]

applebees

I heard they got a new microcraftbrew called bluemoon.

With it being colder than a witches t***y, im not sure how great a suggestion this is but New realm has a cool rooftop where you get an excellent view of the skyline. beer is ok. not sure if they change it up in winter. I went in the summer.

then there is orpheus but it smells like a wet outdoor cat ... they say it's the hops but I think they are keeping 20 wet cats near the HVAC system intake.

I'd go six, and they have to (at least) show up for the losses.

I won't count any game as an automatic loss. Anything can happen. Winning 'em all till they don't!
GBO!
