I see why you would say that - shooting can be honed a lot more than, say, height (not at all) or speed (barely), but there is still something mechanical about shooting which is in your twitch muscles. People are born with varying levels of muscle memory and control. Pistol Pete's son was a great shooter too (though he was still only half Pete's...) and that was no mistake. Other people are born clumsy af and will never a good ahooter no matter how much they work at it. That, by definition, is inherited talent. It is just way more pliable than some talents.

I guess normally when I think of something that's just a god given talent it's almost always something that doesn't require work to be good at. I've never in my life EVER heard of any of the best shooters not also being some of the hardest workers on the team.

I worked for a D-1 club for awhile as a manager and we had 2 guards on the team who were both seniors. Easily the best shooters on the team too, each had a key to get into the gym because usually one of them was the first guy in and the last guy out. I spent quite a few nights making hundreds of passes after practice so they could get in their shots. We also had a guy who had a 40+ inch vertical, that was just a god given talent he started dunking in 6th grade or something. Held a state high jump record when he came on campus too.

I'm not saying just anyone can be a great shooter, but if everything physical is equal typically putting in the right kind of practice the guy who works harder will be the better shooter.

My wife checks the weather in a place we are visiting months in advance. I have no comprehension how she see takes anything from that.

“Hmmm.... looks like rain when we get to NY in May.”

This is my last post regarding this because we are lowering the IQ in here. Yes, it is true I am generally pessimistic. Yes, I go overboard in game threads. You and a few others think I'm actually a UGA fan which I have found hilarious and a bit embarrassing.

Gonna have to change the tag to "Worst UGA Troll on VN Nine Years and Running"

UT is fortunate to have Fulmer back. He'll always fight for what he thinks is best for UT. Randy Boyd is doing a commendable job as well. Too bad some fans aren't giving Kellie Harper much of a chance. She's already done some positive things with recruits and players in her one day on the job.

It will never be like it was. Even UConn has dipped, ever so slightly.

Honor the legacy of the era of Pat, which will never return, and dig in with another Lady Vol and see where she can take things. Top 15 program annually would be an amazing job and commended

Why would you be embarrassed...if untrue? I used to be unsure. I think I became convinced because real fans doing shtick ACCIDENTALLY show it. You never have. You’re an oak. A red and black oak. If you were worried about lowering IQ, you’d stop posting altogether.

Maybe Freak will make you a mod one day and you can ban me to get that power trip you seem to constantly need. Until then, for the sake of the forum it's really time to move on.

I was planning a trip to Destin one summer and actually looked through historical rainfall data to try to figure out which week had the lowest incidence of rainfall historically. My wife thinks I'm an idiot when I pull crap like that and I can't entirely disagree with her.

Know what I loved about Harper's first day on the job.

She very clearly said to John & Jimmy that coaching the Lady Vols was a dream job she didn't think possible. I'm sure it was Holly's dream job too, but still after all the things that have transpired in recent years (Kiffin leaving, Dooley, Butch, Martin, hell even Barnes potentially going to UCLA) it's nice to know that at least one coach on staff wants to be the head coach of the Lady Vols as long as possible and wants to win.

Thought you were done? 😉 Lyin AND trollin...a true dual threat! Can the amateur psychology and get back to declaring how “we” are 20-30 years away from relevancy.
