Recruiting Football Talk VII

[volbeast33]

So you CHANGED subjects. This was about how those particular point guards ranked in UT HISTORY. No way anyone can argue that anyone one and done got better for the Vols by leaving. Chandler with another season (injury free) produces more and adds to wins totals.

Let me introduce you to the recruiting forum….This page is suppose to be about football talk…. We as a group have decided that it is any subject goes except politics/religion…. This is what i replied too…… Only PG mentioned is KC…. Springer might pass as a combo guard but he is more of a wing.

2 minute warning is ass.

And how's about they fix that stupid clock rule.

$10mil would give 250 athletes a $40k/year salary . How many total athletes are at UT? 100ish for the football team, 15 (30) basketball, 40 (80) for baseball. . . 210 players in the 3 main sports (men & women). . . 33 for track & field, 20 for swim. . . should be able to give every single athlete at UT, including walk-ons, a $30k/yr salary for $10mil/year. . . only 5% of the annual operating revenue.

$10mil would give every athlete in the major sports (m&w) $45k/yr, including walk-ons. Scholarship only players would get nearly $65k/yr.

Rosters will be slashed and non-profit sports will be dumped.

is he finally out of ****ing eligibility?

It's like that kicker they used to have. Pretty sure he left there an AARP card carrying member.

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

Kennedy was an average one and done guy. We've seen a ton of one and done players around college basketball and that dude is already forgotten. As far as Nothing he did warrants being in the same realm as what Knecht is doing.

And what Knecht will do from here on out...

For all of my fellow nerds out there, Dune: Part Two is truly as ridiculously good as the hype said it was going to be.

I actually enjoyed Part 1

You know, quite a few sports outside football/basketball would be pretty damn happy for the university to just give them enough scholarships for the entire team. Something else the NCAA dictates and really shouldn't.

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.

Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer have had some pretty underwhelming NBA careers thus far.

I think he saying Dune 2 is spicier. . .

Yall are talking about the new version of the old movie?

 

[Volbucky]

Donations and NIL are two separate things. Elite teams have elite coaches and elite players-- and getting them, and keeping them, means filling multiple buckets.

WBB does not have to be a revenue sport to win championships. It does not have to be a revenue sport for UT to continue to provide elite facilities. It does have to be successful within the current landscape where elite players choose programs that allow them to maximize NIL.

Groundbreaking info

I like the Vols. If Knecht is playing, and we avoid foul trouble with the bigs, 83-77 Vols

You really think we hold them to 77...at home?... I hope so.

I hope we win, but if our offense sputters and has one of "those" games we will probably get beat by 10+.

I think it will be a 98-90 type game if we win.

 

[JCP201]

Without a doubt the LVs will get more donations and make more money by putting a better product on the court.

Hope this isn’t the way the administration is thinking. It’s been proven time and time again in collegiate athletics that if you build a better program it will make more money. I realize we aren’t talking about a big money maker like football, but if they could come close to breaking even that would be helpful. Donations aren’t gonna increase as long as they are putting a poor product on the floor.

Look at South Carolina and Iowa arena, though. They are packed to the rafters. You think if Lady VOLS were competitive with SC that the VOLS fans wouldn't do the same? Just got to find the right coach.

Seems low for sure, but O/U is only 159.5

I'm pumped. Gonna get that in after a trip to the barber tomorrow afternoon

What do you mean "actually"? Part 1 was great! Most people enjoyed it. Part 2 is just way better although I will say that the scene of the Fall of House Atreides in Part 1 is still my favorite moment from either film.

Tobias = only in college because he had to be with his size and game he could have been straight from HS but NBA had removed that option.
Springer = needed some development
Keon = needed to show how much of a freak athlete he was on a big stage
KC = was going to be a 1st round pick UNLESS he sucked majorly or had a terrible injury, his size wasn't going to change so improving his draft stock wasn't going to just happen. He as a player would have developed and gotten better, but also face the risk of injury
Julian Phillips = honestly probably the one that needed to develop his game the most, but his only year here was full of injuries so very risky to return he's young and on an active roster getting live NBA minutes so he'll be able to develop and with how the NBA is set up far lower risk of injury

And how's about they fix that stupid clock rule.

Would be great

Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer have had some pretty underwhelming NBA careers thus far.

Yet they still are getting paid…

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

You really think we hold them to 77...at home...

Like our chances if we hold them under 80. Hope to see Aidoo and Awaka take over; Bama doesn't have an answer for either, if they are playing well. ZZ gets back to double-digit assists with two or fewer turnovers. VOLS win by 8

 

[TheRain]

It really, really bothers me that all the NIL stuff can just be frankly and openly discussed by virtually everyone involved in college sports, but we had to go to f’ing federal court over it to keep our program alive.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. We are (I think) more suited for this however than most schools. We'll always have to take the goat path to success... not the four lanes. We saw what was around the curve with NIL and prepared for it. There is some gravitas in that.

Traffic around the new stadium is going to absolutely awful if they don’t do something. It’s already bad without the stadium.

Isn’t that more of a title 9 issue?
