Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[appyvol]

I've said it here before...Harlan county, and pretty much all of eastern Kentucky for that matter, is a strage mix of Mayberry and Deliveranceville. It really is a fascinating place.

And he is right, but as the population decreases it is helping Law Enforcement cover things better, but still, to give a better idea of the problem, Harlan county is about 50 miles long and 20ish miles wide and completely mountainous, and honeycombed with innumerable hollers, and the mountains themselves are unoccupied forestland, crisscrossed with thousands of old mine and logging roads. Everybody lives piled up in these steep sided valleys going to the mountain crests, or as they are called "hollers", the widest of them are less than a half mile at the most. There are 25,000ish people living here, and roughly 50-60% do not have jobs according to a local chamber of commerce guy...so you have all the problems associated with poverty.

And on any given day there are only 5 assigned state troopers, and 2 sherrifs deputies to cover all that area..

I live in the next county over in VA. Night and day difference.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Hot take. The Vols lose a close one tonight.

 

[Rishvol]

Good luck to her

Alright ESPN

Dart throws. How anyone could take these sites seriously is beyond me.

Yet many are worried about where we finish in the recruiting ranks.
True indicator of how a team recruits will not be seen for two or three after players arrive on campus

Baseball wins to improve to 9-0.

Shut up, moran!!!

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Kyle Alexander is playing with the flu

 

[Rishvol]

Of course ESPN can't let that go

Wise county?

 

[Rishvol]

Glad to see Barnes working the refs tonight

 

[UTSuave’]

I fear for Saturday I hope we find our mojo before then.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Why do the refs continue to call fouls against us when the opposing guard drives, out of control and throws up a prayer? At the same time our guards get mauled and no call.

 

[Rishvol]

Guards need their 3 ball back big time

 

[T Dog]

Hack squats are of the devil. I'm fairly new to working out and learned about them last Wednesday. I've been miserable for a week.

That means it works. If you are not sore, you did not do it right. Tear the muscle down, recuperate with lots of protein. Wash, rinse, repeat

 

[jakez4ut]

Welp. This is going well.

The mojo is gone

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Took until 3 min left in the half to make our first 3

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Welp. This is going well.

The mojo is gone

Seems like a typical Barnes team...start out fast and then fade close to tournament time

 

[Catbone]

P e a k e d

 

[Jimmy Football]

Welp. This is going well.

The mojo is gone

Starting to wonder if illness hasn't been more of a factor the last couple weeks than we realize.

 

[Rishvol]

If the could hit a three this game isn't in question

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think we lose 3 more before the tournament.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Our shooting has sucked for a few weeks.

 

[butchna]

NIT bound...if we’re lucky.

 

[jakez4ut]

I hate to say this cause it never occurred to me that it would be the case.

But I don't trust this team right now. We're not defending the way we have, and we are missing A TON of open looks, from any range.

This just isn't the same team it was 6 weeks ago.

And this is the wrong time of the year for that.
