Recruiting Football Talk VII

[PKT_VOL]

Very favorable road to the final four. Ball is our court. Can't balme the committee.

Yall will hate me for this, but anything short of an EE is a massive failure.

Udder, in fact.

Richard West was incorrect.

I’ll take a step further… if we beat Creighton in the SS anything short of the final 4 is a failure. No reason to lose in the first 2 rounds. Creighton will be a tough game. Winner of that game makes the final 4 IMO

A 1 seed would've meant Miss St in the round of 32

Thank you basketball gods

I never coached baseball on the HS level but in the last several years saw several kids just get mentally burned out from travel ball, extra lessons, school ball, etc. My suggestion would be to take some time off or transition for awhile to more low-key settings. At 13 he has plenty of time to build a resume if playing beyond HS is a goal, at 13 also burnout can be a very real possibility. Sorry if I am overstepping.

You nailed it! Wish him the best!

We play our best, we can beat all of the teams in our half of the region. And most of them wouldn’t be super close

how old but baseball is a game of failure and how you respond to that is what matters more than the results. Babe Ruth was one if not the best players to ever play the game at a high level and he struck out more than any other player in history. It is ok to fail but not ok to let failure win. Just keep grinding and remember to make it fun. Baseball is fun.

Glad you seen this @JacketVol you know a thing or two about sport traveling ball field to ball field…it’s good to see the sports dads sticking together

Potential matchup in 2nd round against Texas/Virginia winner is a little concerning.

I agree. So is the USCe match-up

The CBS guy keeps talking about teams falling short in conference tournaments, the conference tournaments shouldn't matter as much. More emphasis should be placed on the regular season.

 

[PKT_VOL]

All the hand wringing over whether we would get a number 1 seed. Hard to imagine having a better route to the final four as a number 1 seed.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Sucks that Avila didn’t get in. Stupid Drake.

 

[Smokey123]

scar isn’t making the SS

 

[butchna]

I'm not the one complaining.

You know your body.

I'm trying to be nice, give the old hag some grace.

We want Virginia…Texas is a long great rebounding team…I trust our guard play against Virginia

 

[JCP201]

We gotta play the peacocks. :-/

thought we were a 2 seed

Michael Jordan put mayo in coffee and was not the reason the Bulls were great.

Somebody has been hitting the Irish whiskey hard on St. Patrick's Day.

Couldn’t play them in the second round.

 

[Devo182]

Why?

Texas is 8-9 in their last 17 games..6-7 in their last 13...

Virginia is ~70th KenPom

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Creighton is an intresting matchup.
I feel like that could look a lot like last years game against Duke.

Won’t happen…we can’t guard the 3 well…and they’re a big team with lights out 3 point shooting ability if they’re on.

Are we Thursday or Friday?
