Recruiting Football Talk VII

[DD4ME]

Political creatures like Sankey are going to keep the NCAA held hostage in front of them until the gunfire stops. When the NCAA dies in the escape then they will take over.

For those of you who were interested, here's a link to a song by The Steeldrivers when Stapleton sang for them.

Good share. The Steeldrivers era of Stapleton is pretty awesome.

 

[Devo182]

Awesome and all for DK. 100%.


At the same time it feels like one of those ultramodern "cherry stats" such as, "no one has ever hit 2 home runs in a single game, in a leap year, while a Republican sat in the White House, and during a Waxing Gibbous moon phase..."

I know I’m biased, but he is just a much better all around player than Zach Eady. I mean, 8ft tall and just stays in the paint. Knecht can score from anywhere and much more athletic.

Right. I like that graph that shows where they score on the floor. Edy was pretty one dimensional, understandable at 11' tall. I'd take Knecht 10/10 times over him. . . it would be interesting to see them on the same team though.

Your boy putting in that work @Plove23
Expecting big things this coming year...im super hyped about him. Wish him all the best!

I think he's gonna end up our #1 back this year if he is above average at blocking. . . he's right up there with Nico for who I thought was the best player in their class. . .

This screams to me as a directive for NCAA to stand down.

From Sankey:

"I tend to think if we look at the big scheme of things from an NCAA level and focus on trying to have the right set of oversight, make adjustments around outcomes of court cases, deal with the litigation that is already in front of us, that's the proper focus,"

"I think the pursuit of some of these particular cases through the enforcement process distracts us from solving the big problems," Sankey said.

Yeah I think Sankey is basically saying this is all a waste of time, and none of this actually solves the problems.

He understands what the AGs are doing and why, but that it getting to this point is actually proof of how wasteful this whole process is, and will continue to be.

First of all, I understand your point.

But going with your scenario just for shitz and gigglez, I'd bet more people have done that than one would think. I sure as hell don't have the kind of time on my hands to find out though.

 

[jakez4ut]

Just Sankey being Sankey. You're right that he should stand up for member institutions-- and UT is a founding member of the conference-- but he is who he is. I don't know anybody who thinks he's a great guy.

He's a pragmatist's pragmatist.

Heisman incoming

 

[SoilVol]

We missed layups and free throws. If we make those we win. Barnes didn’t lose us that game.

I didn't say Barnes lost us the game? Tf?

I was saying South Carolina was playing old Barnes ball.

 

[SoilVol]

We beat ourselves in that game plain and simple. We had quality shots all night in that game. Can't miss 12 layups and almost 10 free throws and win. Buckets just didn't drop but the shots were there. I doubt we have another game like that this season. We will beat Lamecocks on the road here soon.

I agree, apparently everyone is mossing what I'm saying. They aren't mutually exclusive events. South Carolina executed their gameplan of slowing the game and limiting possessions (what Barnes has had us do in years past) and it forced us out of rhythm and sync.

[jakez4ut]

Kind of a cool idea.

Yeah...I like that.

 

[drvenner]

Pre-dates me. It is Whidby per other commentors. I never knew he was a 4 sport athlete and played NFL and professional basketball. Different times.

Does appear you are right on Aberdeen and Mears too.

A Fighting Fulton Falcon also just like me and @The Dog

 

[drvenner]

I see the conspiracy has begun its move from Saban and Bama to Kirby to and UGA bc they’re the top program now.

Good stuff.

I don't think it's that big a reach to claim Sankey does not like us.

Agreed. It shouldnt even be a question as to who deserves it more.

Of course they're going to miss what you're saying...sticking in words like 'mossing'.

Slow night in the RF. The night-shift on vacation?

Yeah I mean....she is struggling to compete with the program that basically invented women's college basketball. No way they can keep her. Even tho she is pretty...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Predict? No. I think it was pretty widely accepted that he was capable...

Actually..It kind of perplexed me that he struggled like he did. He is doing now what he was supposed to be doing all along.
