Nate Peterman gonna be in this league next year?

Duke is simply the best team in the country followed by Tennessee, Kentucky, Zags, and Michigan in no particular order

SMH..

I made a mistake. I assumed it was Terry Fair sitting beside Coach Sanders in the booth (I didn't have a good look as I spoke to Sanders but I knew I recognized him), but now I realize it was Graham. My bad. Don't think Fair was in JC. Jay Graham 100% was.

Even better.

I like that the AAF understands what it is. That should help it stay alive for a while

I agree. They’re wanting to be a developmental league to help guys get to the NFL. That’s good and can work. The NFL needs to embrace them imo.

A lot of the games will be on the NFL Network, that's a big step in the right direction.

I would actually like it if they did. We need that chip back on our shoulder headed into Rupp

They will be fired up no matter what. I’m sure they feel like they need to prove something. What we will need more is a game that is 5 on 5 and not 8 on 5.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Even better.

Yep. Not sure why else Tee and Jay would be in JC (100 miles from Knox) unless Jay is back or at least considering it heavily (maybe getting some advice or catching up with CRS).

Not many heavily recruited high schoolers in our area at the moment.

I didn’t realize that. That’s great. Maybe NFL helps them out. More football is a good thing, both for the fans and players.

Just keep giving this team disrespect and put teams ahead of them. That's fine. There isn't a team that this UT basketball team can't beat.

A loss or two and some media disrespect will continue to fuel them and give Barnes plenty of stuff to say to continue to motivate them.

There isn't a team in CBB that we can't beat, and beat badly if we play our game...period.

There are several good teams that can beat us, that is the nature of BB, but we have a great BB team this year...period.

I agree if you add Virginia. Imo it's


1) Duke
2) Virginia
3) tenn
4 Gonzaga

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

AAF won't take guys straight out of High School, so that's good. Wonder if you could go to school for a year and then quit to their league? They get paid about 75k per year

Would make more probably by staying in school at some places like Bama.

 

[SLICKYINC]

The thing I don’t like about this is. If this is a developmental league, how much more development does Simms need? Dude was in the league for 6 years. I want to see a kid that can develop...

They also want to win. So they’re gonna play the best players. Apparently Simms is the best they have

What makes CBB fun and heart wrenching at the same time is that the Tourney is one and done, not best of seven. One bad night can end it all.

That said, what I love about our team is our depth and experience. Add to that we have topshelf front court and electric backcourt, and we have the perfect tournament team.

Woof.. Second round pick in the AAF..

Will ESPN completely ignore this league because they don't have broadcasting rights?

I see nothing at all about these games on their website.

I got an alert from them about it today.

Good -- I hope they at least mention it. Would like to see it be successful.

Nice to see the ole ball coach on the sidelines again. Looks like he still knows how to call them plays.

It's funny, I used to despise the dude but now I appreciate what he brought to the game.

They had a series of articles

Jesus that sunburn on spurrier's face

Are you sure it is just sunburn. Jk

 

[SLICKYINC]

Guess cleats aren’t part of the uniform package..

 

[Rishvol]

Jeff Fisher's strategy is for every team to go.500

How did intern Jones beat him 3 times?
