Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Dooby15]

I love Barnes and want him to win the big one more than anything. But these games where we can barely break 60 points is what usually gets us bounced. It’s been the consistent theme.

 

[Carp]

Going 10-2 in the SEC should get you in.

Too many teams are 10-2 or better this year.

 

[tyonthefly93]

Ament could have dunked that.

 

[Orange.]

More time in college would do him wonders

Out: One and done
In: Two and through

 

[Rishvol]

Ament could have dunked that.

Meh. Would've been tackled with a no call

 

[engineerVOL]

Now get to watch couple teams score 90+

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm telling you guys, Barnes doesn't look at these games like you and I do. He plays a lot of players/combinations. He does a lot of experimenting. This team will look different when conference play starts in a month.

 

[SoilVol]

They'll be alright. We've seen the potential when they beat Houston. So many new pieces and faces and dealing with injuries early. Need to let Estrella get healthy and build chemistry. They'll figure it out by middle of January probably

 

[Orange.]

Ament could have dunked that.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That loss drops you down a seed line

 

[KB5252]

I don’t think he should be either but all the experts say he’s a top 5 pick.

Not in today's NBA, not unless he grows up quick. He's not near the level of our last two star transfers to make the league and they're both depth pieces.

 

[PYSCHO]

Ballgame refs made sure of it

they played like crap they got what they deserved. omit the refs. Played awful turnovers galore it is what it is. Try again this weekend

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I sure hope we get out of our sports funk soon. Girls next up against Stanford.

All started with the leak of Tony leaving before the Bama game. It’s all been down hill for the entire athletic department since.

I was shocked how little Chet Holmgren dominated in college, but he's been great in the NBA. I can't figure it out.

Agreed. You can always tell this early season games he's tweaking stuff to see who can do what and where guys click. Giving guys specific roles and responsibilities. Grand scheme this game doesn't matter. Houston game mattered. This? Meh

Yes they did not play great but I'm tired of seeing our players get manhandled at the rim while the other team gets a call when our players look at them funny

 

[Jackcrevol]

Pretty bad loss. This team has a looooonnnnnggggg way to go. Long season.

Goodness man, this is the deepest team we've had in a long while. I wont defend the loss. other than Syracuse is a hard place to win on road. Missed a lot of shots, and they hit a lot. They didnt play like a 3 loss team.

Fortunately its early, and we are good. Not great. But good.

agreed

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I hate it when they play basketball in football stadiums.

I'm pretty sure we struggled last time we went to the Carrier Dome

 

[TheBigOne10]

Ament is nowhere near NBA ready. Holy cow.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Ament is nowhere near NBA ready. Holy cow.

Fortunately for Nate, his next game is in the NCAA.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Fortunately for Nate, his next game is in the NCAA.

Wow man, insightful!

We did beat Houston-- I was so sure our basketball team was going to come through, but they look like they all got Covid after that.

Having Ament bumble through a nationally televised game.

Chess. Not checkers.

It's just December 2nd.
