Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Wake Forest hasn’t won 20 games or more since 2009. Well on their way to it with Forbes in just the 2nd season as HC View attachment 428511

Good for him, but they beat nobody in the non conference. The ACC is also down. Virginia, UNC, Louisville, Syracuse, FSU are all down.

ACC isnt much of a proving ground.

LOL… I bet you someone would say that.

Tobacco Road is a joke.

They are bad this year. One power rating has the Mountain West as a better conference. They are at least 6th.

Looks like I’ve Upset a Barnes guy, it’s alright Steve will keep winning while we flounder with 5 stars getting hammered by Bammer, LSU and Auburn. Barnes is a solid person but the paycheck and results look a bit daunting

Great conclusion. Just disregard the available data. That conference sucks this year if you look it up. Glad you just like to speculate.

I like Rick, but he’s obviously got flaws. I don’t think hiring someone at the end of this year is necessarily the best idea, and I think he will leave on his terms.

I think it's time to put Barnes out to pasture and see who DW would hire.

I knew you were a smart fellow, Bass

I think the biggest issue Barnes is dealing with in player development is the quality of some of his assistants. He's lost a lot of coaching talent recently.

 

[BJWeeks]

Sounds like the NFL wants the Bengals to win. 2 non TDs called

That was a TD. No reason to ever blow the whistle in that situation

Sure he’ll probably leave on his own. Doesn’t mean fans can’t talk about basketball. You seem to have gotten a bit defensive about my Forbes post. Didn’t mention anything about Barnes in it either. Hehe Barnes guys are getting frantic as the losses stack up. He built a solid program.. middle of pack in SEC last few seasons but it’s pretty obvious his days are coming to an end. 67 years old and clueless looking on the bench

Basketball is a tournament sport and doesn’t matter until March anyways. No one cares what you do in January. Just make the tournament and see what happens.

Do you see this team winning 9-10 more games? Have you looked at the schedule?

Will they get in with only winning 18-20 games?

 

[Batman1948]

People always mention BHH, but forget about Jonas Aidoo too. Neither have made any impact and Aidoo doesn’t even get minutes

Aidoo is taking a redshirt and BHH is still learning how to practice with a purpose. This is a strange year for Barnes. I don't remember him playing 10--11 guys this late in the season. By now, it's usually an 8 man rotation. If I had to guess, I'd say he's trying to keep some of the guys happy and away from the portal at the end of the year.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Thinking about it, you know what irks me about the Barnes BHH comment, he praises the guy for coming to him and letting his guard down. But BHH wasnt going to play until it was a blow out. If he actually was going to play him he wouldve done it much sooner.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Pitt and LSU both added transfers at LB.

We need linebackers.

 

[Batman1948]

Those of you who want to move on from Barnes, who do you think we could realistically get that would be a clear upgrade over Barnes? I'm not saying you shouldn't criticize Barnes but he's still better than alot of coaches out there.

Most of these guys bitching want BP to come back

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Rick Barnes has won 6 tournament games since 2008

Uhhh…you said you must have “upset a Barnes guy.” Maybe you should re-read your posts.

My first response never mentioned Barnes…at all. People don’t do research anymore. All I said was that Forbes’ record this year is inflated. 11 of his 13 wins prior to today are Q3/4 wins with 8 being Quad 4 wins. Good for him, but they aren’t even a tournament team right now.

 

[VolGee4]

Yes. Schedule was brutal. 20 games means they win 11 conference games.

Are all KY fans on meth or is it just the ones they show on TV?

I don't think they have a shot at 9-10 more wins.

Solid pick up, and Tennessee ties. Huepel wants Tennessee people, he's bought in. I really like how he's building this program.
