Recruiting Football Talk VII

I wonder if I could grow one of those.

With March finally getting here, I need to get my garden going. I feel like I'm running behind getting my flowers planted. I mean, it is March 1st and I haven't botany yet.

 

[knoxvol52]

I don't really understand how people put Chandler ahead of ZZ...just because of NBA talent bias, or is it because ZZ is so short?

Chandler averaged 14 ppg and 4.7 assist.
Shot 47 pct from field
38 pct from 3
Was a Freshmen All American .

So yes he should be near the top.

Plus led Tennessee to their first SEC Tournament Championship since 1979..

Perceived “NBA talent”…not achieved. Body of work wise, ZZ has been far superior.

So Kennedy leaving after 1 season hurts his place on top PG status.
Although some are hanging Knecht jersey in rafters and retiring it after one season

It's tough. I think ZZ runs the offense like nobody else can and that also makes it very challenging for defenses. It's atypical what he can do.

But Chandler's ability to drive to the rim, score in traffic, and score nearly at will was incredible. I wish we'd had him for a year or two more and I think he'd be more memorable if so. I'd at oeast take the two of them together.

I could very well change my mind by the end of ZZ's career. Its not a slight on any of those players, we are down to splitting hairs. Its close.

I don’t remember Kennedy’s one off as being epic in any fashion. There were flashes, but he wasn’t a consistent force. Ziegler actually outperformed him in some games and was far better defensively.

You're rite Kennedy done nothing.

Chandler wasn’t always WILLING then. He’d disappear in many games…and in clutch situations. He definitely could have used further development. No denying the innate talent, but ZZ will be appreciated far more when legacies are quantified. No matter what ZZ does or doesn’t do at the professional level.

I remember people saying he should definitely come back. . . unless I'm confusing him with Springer, maybe.

People say this about most players.

Tobias Harris
Kennedy Chandler
Keon Johnson
Jaden Springer
Julian Phillips

The beat goes on....

Cuz that’s what I said. Mebbe my age is speaking and he was a Cordarrelle Patterson level one man show and I missed it.

 

[butchna]

No. He was better than Springer but same net result imo.

 

[KptVFL]

Can he defend? Go get him.

Could you imagine that guy trying to make it through just one of Barnes' practices? He'd be puking within a couple of minutes. Lol

I’ve learned to believe in the magic of Garrett Medenwald. Don’t know how much Grant Williamsesque physical transformation he could accomplish on this particular specimen with the timeframe involved…but he’d look different.

People seem to forget that there were games where Ziegler played in the clutch over chandler because he was more reliable

Speaking of 'one and dones', are any of those players doing anything in the NBA?

Happy Friday!

Harris justified his decision…and was a first round pick with an immediate impact. Last four in your list? Cept for Keon Johnson and Springer being first rounders…not so much.

 

[LaagerVol]

I love his 3" vertical. We need to get him via the portal.

How tall is he? I was wondering when watching the highlights if he can dunk lol.

Tobias Harris is a good player in the NBA

Yes, I mentioned him yesterday. He's done quite well. Now, I want to see our more recent players succeed.
