Recruiting Football Talk VIII

And? He's still not what we were told he would be

No one ever said he would be the top scorer in the SEC.

Knecht spoiled a lot of people last year and that isn’t Lanier’s fault

And? He's still not what we were told he would be

He Doesn't show up in big games.

Hahaha Andy and Big Newt on X

Seeding doesnt matter. 15 or 16 seed would make it interesting with the style we play. At some point there would be ab a 9 min drought where we score like 3 points.

its the same stuff over and over for years.

Go away.

 

[VolGee4]

And? He's still not what we were told he would be

He was never someone that created his own shot.

I wish every Kentucky fan in the world would simultaneously and instantaneously have to take their worst poop of the whole year right now.

Same stuff over and over
Same stuff over and over

but do you make your own soft pretzels?

Someone should've made them some soft pretzels with a little extra salt.

 

[DD4ME]

Love my basketVOLS. Don't love Volnation trolls who only come out when we lose.

Amen

 

[DD4ME]

Same stuff over and over
Same stuff over and over
Same stuff over and over
Same stuff over and over
Same stuff over and over​

Nobody expected DK. But I think most of us expected more than just a guy who can occasionally hit threes.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I cant believe we lost to the #15 team on the road! Shut down the program!

Yeah, we shouldn’t have lost to this team twice…but the real sin was losing at home. The only real black mark on this season.

When you're not trolling on VN, what do you do? Bully toddlers? Punch babies?

That’s not who he was, and we knew that. At North Florida last year, 241 of his 420 shots were three-pointers. That’s 57% of his shots. He shot 44%, which is awesome. We knew we recruited a 3 point shooting specialist, who wasn’t nearly as good creating his own shot.

That's the game that disappointed me. I never expect to win at UK, but you're right, we should've split the series.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Doesn’t matter what any of us foresee. The 1st goal of a regular season championship was already outta reach. The sec tourney really is meaningless seed wise so don’t care about it either. I know everyone wants a first final four or whatever but I’ll be happy with an EE. This team has had 3 head scratching losses. But it’s also had streaks of solid wins. Just gotta be hot when it matters.

Agree with all of this. But it still sucks big time to get swept by UK with a first year head coach.

His mid range game is weak. He has almost no explosiveness and rarely drives to the basket. Why? I get he is a 3 point shooter. But when those shots aren’t falling, he can’t do much of anything.

We knew what we were recruiting. We needed outside shooting.

And he ain’t getting it done on a consistent basis against the good competition.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He was never someone that created his own shot.

This part is the disappointment

 

[VolGee4]

And he ain’t getting it done on a consistent basis against the good competition.

He struggled tonight and at UF. But he scored 21 against OU, 19 at home against UF, 15 at home against UK, 23 against MSU, 17 at Vandy, 29 against Arky, 17 at Illinois, 25 against Baylor, 26 against UVA, 19 at Louisville.

He was a 4 year mid major player who is in the top 5 in scoring in the toughest conference (maybe ever). He’s not DK, but without him, we wouldn’t be nearly as good. We have to ride with him.
