Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Yes. Go to scorer is the biggest weakness IMO

PG is biggest weakness. We don't have one. Fulk struggling is killing us too. Anosike is a wasted scholarship so far.

Guys....regular season doesn’t matter. Stay in the top 20... gear up for the tourneys. This team is good. Rick just needs to take the handcuffs off and let this team run and out athlete teams like that. We played into ole miss gameplan. They wanted it to be slow and sloppy

They tried several times to pick up the pace, but our guys don’t always make the best decisions or we missed a shot.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Basketball game over? OK. Any more smoke around a DC candidate?

 

[nate from decatur]

All Tennessee's sports need to move to the OVC. We don't deserve to be in the SEC any longer. It's the perfect conference for our high expectations.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this...

Almost six years ago, this beautiful miracle of a child survived two open hearts, two heart caths, three neuro surgeries, and a meningitis infection at her surgical site, after the first neurological surgery didn't take.

God be with you, your family, the parents, your granddaughter, and the medical staff. Prayers for peace that surpasses understanding for you all, and a healthy recovery for everyone involved.

My daughter recovered much quicker than her parents. Please reach out again, VolNation was a Godsend for me when Ashlee was in the hospital.View attachment 347885

Beautiful reminder of what is really important in life.

Doesn't matter. We turned the ball over playing right into their trap in the second half. Turnovers are under 8 in the second half if he let's them run.

I agree that this team should be pushing the ball whether the other team makes or misses. We have athletes that can score at the rim, but those same athletes don't really know how to create their own shot or create their own lane to the rim. Need more easy buckets in transition. Push the tempo.

 

[Smokeytom]

I wouldn’t say Insanely low floor. The elite defense and talent from KJ and JS keeps it decent

I think the game we just witnessed proves my point...

We gave Fulk 5 shots in 30 minutes. That’s not his fault.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Fulkerson is the teams biggest liability.

We need a true 4. He is the weakest link and it’s obvious.

And when we get cold like tonight there is no chance at winning. Ugly turnovers and terrible free throws.

 

[Smokeytom]

Huh? If Fulk plays 30mins and only gets up 5 shots that is definitely his fault. He touched the ball plenty. He is not being the aggressor.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Coaching is also suspect - this team can’t play when teams switch to a
Zone.

 

[ChattownVFL]

Not wasting another minute watching this basketball team. Once again UT assembles all this talent and plays like garbage

watched SV dribble same direction 4 times in a row, threw to left same four times.

a bit overboard

No matter how high your floor is you’re gonna have games you struggle. Iowa who’s easily one of the best and talented teams in the country has lost two straight including a bad Indiana team
Michigan lost to an average at best Minnesota team while scoring like 50 points. Both teams floor is very high

 

[HankHill]

It’s hard to flip the switch on that. You gotta commit to it full time.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Zone.

It's not really the zone it's the traps out at the half court line. They were triple teaming. That makes it 4 on two. We never punished them for it.

[HankHill]

This. Before this game and even before we smacked Kansas we were #12 in the NET rankings (the one that matters). #10 after we beat Kansas. We’ll fall to probably #15 which is a #4 seed in the tourney

We have wayyyy too much going on elsewhere to worry about our basketball team and have an absolute meltdown over a typical letdown road trap game. There’s a reason why the line was -3.5

 

[nate from decatur]

I'm not kidding. Let's move to the OVC and find success and happiness. This is assuming we can even win there. It's worth a try. We can't do worse, or can we?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Fulkerson is the teams biggest liability.

We need a true 4. He is the weakest link and it’s obvious.

And when we get cold like tonight there is no chance at winning. Ugly turnovers and terrible free throws.

He is a really good role player, but he isn't good enough to lead a team consistently.

 

[HankHill]

Oh god he’s a Jets fan.

 

[jp1]

JJJ should focus on his degree . Dude is a let down and has an ugly shot.

Our so called fans are a letdown.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Oh god he’s a Jets fan.

I find it Hilarious thats what you took from that.
