The Kerry Blackshear Thread

[calban]

So do we know if he even made it in for his visit?

Yes. A friend of my uncle's sister's mother's aunt saw him on campus.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

At least we know he made it in. Pretty quiet on that front.

 

[pimo1]

Quiet might be a good sign.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Donnie would have been a good coach here

He definitely has an eye for talent.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

When will Blackshear likely make an announcement on his college decision?

Tuesday

 

[Dallasbowlin]

So, he got here yesterday and is still on campus this morning. That has to be considered a positive.

Huh? OV’s are 48 hours

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Tuesday

Serious or joking?

 

[ukvols]

That he hasn't cut the visit short so soon seems more like a not-negative than a positive - no news is good news type of thing.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Serious or joking?

That is the word on the street.

I have referred to Tyndall as simultaneously the perfect hire and the worst hire possible. If not for the USM issues, he'd have been a great fit and coach here. Scandal-free, he would have been an excellent choice at the time. However, because of the issues and the apparently low amount of vetting that was done by Mr. I Have a Level of Expertise and Information that No One Else Has, it was a horrible hire. Then again, Tyndall was pretty much the only coach in the profession who Hart could have hired who would have caused the job to pop open again a year later to line up with Barnes.

Makes sense though, I’m sure he wants to get with his new team ASAP so he can begin summer workouts and start creating continuity with his coaches/teammates.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

That is the word on the street.

Which street?

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Which street?

17th

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Which, I’m saying is a positive that he hasn’t cut it short.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

No way he is missing out on the big dinner planned.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Not common place at all to cut OV short, did he cut his Florida or Arkansas visit short?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I don’t know. I don’t follow Arkansas or Florida.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I don’t know. I don’t follow Arkansas or Florida.

He didn't...not common at all to cut an OV’s short at about 18 hours, in fact it’s pretty much unheard of. Him still being here isn’t any sign at all, except that’s he’s here on his OV.

Or Lane Kiffin.

Too soon

BTO's that cat that's got to be right about everything and will not quit until he's gotten the final word.

We all could only hope to be as smart as him and we're blessed to have the John Wooden of posters amongst us.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Rick Barnes has to be putting the full court press on Blackshear this weekend.

Immediate need of position and has a better opportunity to show case his skills.

I mean, he's right about this point, though. Most OVs last that long and aren't cut short. That's very rare.

Donnie would have had to come up with a different defensive system. It worked well versus the November and December schedule, but once the opposition was bigger and better, living and dying by how well they knocked down lightly contested 3s was becoming a lot more dying.
