Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[MarcoVol]

That is literally the definition of bandwagon.

Recruits aren’t picking a team to cheer for. That’s the difference.

They’re picking a team with coaches who have proven they know what the hell they’re doing and they believe can develop them and get them to the league.

Not true for all recruits, but true for the majority of the elite recruits.

More of a business decision that can affect their future earning potential than anything else.

How is Uros not a better option than Fulk at this point? At least give him minutes and a role.

Lol no. Uros couldn’t get on the floor at the Central Baptist basketball league.

Then why is he here? Barnes couldn't get an average 5?

I got a cousin about the same height and athleticism as Uros, he can’t even tie his shoe without tripping over his own hand.

I like the strong play of OLIVIER NKAMHOUA down low. He throws his weight around. Perhaps Barns believes they either live or die with Fulky and he's praying Fulky returns to form.

its really offensive versus defensive philosophy. same with football. would much rather have a better O than D

Its not going to happen, but Barnes might need to consider retirement this off season. He is what he is, we will be decent with him but wont win anything big.

So we're finally pulling in the best players we've ever gotten and you believe Barnes leaving is the answer? I left the 'fire your way to greatness' bus long time ago.

 

[pierce60]

It’s crazy how this team isn’t better on offense. They turn the ball over too much, yes, but they just can’t hit shots. They get good looks, but they don’t go in.

Where did I say he needed to be fired? The facts are Barnes is an old school coach whos team relies on 2 things that are obsolete in todays game. Hes never going to win anything big.

What happened to the effort and defense at beginning of season? Too many guys that don’t want to be the guy. We drive and stop and look for someone else instead of driving to the basket to score. So many passed up good shots that lead to bad shots.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Frustrating team to watch.

 

[bignewt]

Drive to the paint. Stop. Pass it back out to the perimeter. Miss. No rebound. Repeat.

what makes me crazy is going almost to the basket and then throwing it back out.

 

[Catbone]

Boooooooo!

 

[Catbone]

I'm off the barnes train. We are a 7 seed with this roster. Laughable

 

[volatil]

When does MLB start? Can’t wait for my next team to let me down.

37 fthrows to 10


LOL

 

[mthomp88]

Butch Jones at Tennessee

In Josh Dobbs starts: 23-12 (.657)
In all other games: 11-15 (.423)

Rick Barnes at Tennessee

With Grant Williams: 73-31 (.716)
Without Grant Williams: 48-40 (.545)

 

[Catbone]

Rick Barnes was carried by Grant Williams the same way Butch Jones was carried by Dobbs.

After next season with Chandler it might be time to cut Barnes depending on how it goes.

Because we drive to basket stop and pass out instead of trying to acore

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Yeah...let's go ahead and fire Barnes. Then Danny would go hire his brother. Solid plan.

Yeah...that's what it is.
