Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[BigOrangeTrain]

A lot of people seem to hate on ZZ, but if he's out tomorrow, not sure we can win. He is the heart of the team.

Agreed. I almost feel like he may be irreplaceable. Makes me wonder. Does Barnes hang it up if ZZ can’t come back next year?

Try 61 on for size. There becomes a point you live the way you want and say anything you want to, because you still have the excuse that ‘the old codger doesn’t realize what they’re saying, God love her’ stage.

Eh, tried that at my workplace, HR was not amused ...

No one ever remembers we were on deaths doornail and called their bluff.

But I'll definitely remember the phrase "on deaths doornail".

Kobe had the ball 30% more. Of course he had more volume. He was also a guard. That was my original point. Dude monopolized the ball.

No one cares.

Done talking about it in the football thread.

If you know volume matters then when comparing efficiency then why even bring it up? Oh yeah you were looking for some cheap brownie points to push a fallacious argument. There's a reason nobody cares if Pau was more efficient than Kobe. It's because everyone with a brain saw that the entire offense ran through Kobe and the entire defense was focused on Kobe.

When the entire defense focuses on a player I would hope his sidekick would benefit from all that extra attention by being more effective on his limited touches. This is how Kobe made the players around him better. He took the pressure off them by being the primary focus of the defense.

I know this is late but Newton telling it like it is.

I don’t like LeBron. But he is much better than Kobe was. The only thing Kobe had over him was that killler mentality that he copied from Jordan. But there is virtually no measure you can make to put Kobe over Lebron other than you like Kobe better.

Or knowing you, you think Kobe was better looking or something .

Yeah, but your Batman.

But where is his altar ego @Bruce Wayne??. I might have got the @ wrong, shocking . Whatever happened to that dude? He always seemed connected, but hasn’t posted in awhile.

recruiting has to get better in 26. Guys are playing their butts off, there just isnt any depth.

Got two four star dudes coming in 2025, along with BB. So, that's a good foundation. Would love to see us get a marquis forward, and a scorer.

Sidebar, just skimmed an article. Rick Barnes sends several coaches, Butch Jones included, an uplifting message every morning. We are blessed to have him.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, Philly gonna lose their shiz

It really depends on the competition. Are they just doing a cursory check in with you to see your interest and job fit? Are you the lone candidate? If so it will be casual. If they are bringing in other candidates (especially external) then you need to treat it like a real interview. I would rather be overdressed and over prepared than the alternative.

I've already had 2 informal sitdowns with my boss who pushed me to apply and a guy at corporate that manages all North American finance that wanted to gauge my interest.

They did say they posted the job externally right when the person turned in their 2 week notice, as we now have 2 open positions (out of 4) and they couldn't sit back and wait. I'm expecting competition. I'll take your advice and prepare for a regular set of interview questions.

Happy Saturday. This is my favorite Bible verse so I am happy to see and share it.

February 1, 2025: It is time to take the next step in spiritual progression. Rise a little higher in your commitment to be all that you can be in God. You have come this far, but you must not get stuck in where you have been and what you have done. There is more for you to understand and accomplish in the days ahead. Be flexible and be willing. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Just to give you turds a heads up. I am in Mt. Juliet until Monday for a planning conference for work. Feels great to be back in the great state of Tennessee! So if you see on the news some old NCO is yelling at the clouds or people at Walmart, that's me. Don't be surprised.

I've been taking care of the riff raff around this place. It's not easy but it's honest work.

Sounds like you're hanging on by a fingerstep. Prayers up...
