Recruiting Football Talk VII

She’ll be great in the WNBA too.

She'll probably be good. Not so sure about "great". She'll be facing off against a different level of talent. I don't think scoring will come as easily at the next level.

Yeah without a doubt. She'd dominate the WNBA tomorrow.

He was skilled for his era. Get real. Someone like Kryie Irving would make him look foolish with the handles NBA and even college players have today. & a defender like ZZ or Mashack would pick his pocket every time down the court dribbling up at his damn shoulder. Idc what league he played in. He was good in his ERA doesn't mean he'd be worth a damn in today's time. Cause he wouldn't be

“Pete couldn’t dribble”

LMAO

No, she won't.

She’s not headed to the NBA bruh. She’s going to the WNBA. It’s full of women who used to play as girls in college.

She’ll be legit the moment she steps on the court.

I love Bruce, and he will always be thought of highly in my regard. I think it’s silly people dislike him, when in reality the dislike should go towards incompetence in the athletic program to fire him over an extremely minor issue in hindsight. With that said, and despite me saying dumb stuff in the heat of the moment, Barnes is the greatest coach in school history. Period. No I don’t have to see him reach an Elite 8 first. Owning Kentuckys ass and likely to at least have 3 conference championships, the consistency of being a top 10 program. A deep March run, we all need to see it, but 67 teams are going to go home heartbroken either way.

You obviously can't read. Never said he couldn't dribble? Just said he'd get his pocket picked.

 

[butchna]

Oh boy. Here we go again with “that era’s greats couldn’t even play in today’s game” lol…

Luka, Steph, Jokic amongst other elite players but not mega athletes are lucky they were born late enough to be properly evaluated by recency bias scientists.

 

[Weezer]

She'll be playing against other women who were also very good in college.

The WNBA isn't that much higher of a level than women's college basketball.

That's why the lady vols beat the national team back in the day and Oregon beat the national team just a few years ago.

Lying to the NCAA isn't "a minor issue".

We shall see.

That’s true. It’s a non-issue.

The NCAA is one the most lying and deceitful organizations around. Ask Donde. As far as I’m concerned, turnabout is fair play.

 

[knoxvol52]

No offense to the Giants but they got bigger issues than needing a RB.
First they gotta have someone to block for Wright if drafted by Giants and Danny Dimes..

Bruce turned an actual minor issue into a major violation. People who continue to defend him all these years later are deluded. No one forced him to lie about a damn picture. He chose to, and in so choosing, put our entire program at risk.

Lot of teams need to rebuild their OL. <cough> Titans! <cough>

Pearl sealed his own fate, the ncaa was going to hammer the basketball program if we didn’t fire him. Has nothing to with our athletic program at the time even though they were terrible too.

 

[volbeast33]

it’s considered minor when the ncaa wants it to be minor.

For now

It has everything to do with our athletic department…. would never have gotten to that point with Dickey or DW.

Pearl lied to investigators not the athletic department, he lied about meaningless secondary violations that would have given him a slap on the wrist…what about that is on the athletic program?

Hard disagree.

After what we’ve been through with that scumbag organization, I can’t believe people still clutch their pearls at the thought of someone fibbing to them.

 

[Weezer]

Hard disagree.

Then by all means, continue swinging on his sack. Bruce is crooked.
