Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jack Burton]

Fun season. Doubt we’ll ever have a Barnes team that talented again.

 

[mrMet]

Barnes has to recruit scorers and not defenses. Our assistant found a Knecht and it carried Barnes this year. Can’t win it playing defense only. Ready for a change and I don’t care if that upsets anyone. Bring back English.

Barnes will retire after next year

 

[Aesius]

Edey in the NBA should be comical. He's gonna be upset when he doesn't get crooked officiating.

He will be playing for some random ass team in France in two years.

Didn't make enough shots. Very proud of this team

yep….. 70 was the goal…. reach that and i bet we would have won…. Great season!!!

 

[buffaloblue]

Man, we showed up today. They beat us. Elite eight is a darn good year and probably 3rd best team left in tournament going into Elite 8 and ran into a tough matchup for us.

Very successful year. Sad more than frustrated or disappointed.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Now for my bitch fest.

11 point lead and all the momentum and then go scoreless for over I believe 5 or 6 minutes.

Went from 32-21 lead to a 36-34 Halftime deficit. Shouldn't have happened.

lack of recruiting a bona fide big.

this team deserved better but didnt get it done.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Great season. Some of our mouth breathing idiots already wanting Barnes gone. If so, you deserve the Derek Dooley of basketball coaches. If Edey has to play by the same rules as everyone else, they lose even with UT not at their best. Get another scorer and a physical post player out of the portal and get back to work.

 

[gordonr24]

33 free throws to 11.

But sadly, we all knew this was going to happen coming into the game.

I’m proud of of the team for fighting the uphill battle.

This might be one of the worst takes of all time

 

[Rishvol]

Please tell me people are calling out the officiating of this

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Team fought.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

f*** the refs
f*** zach edey

And get rid of all our big men except awaka. Aidoo is soft and bad, Awaka is too small, and Estrella is bad all around

Estrella played the best d vs edey. . .

Here’s a thought Purdue is really good?

 

[tnhunter 10]

While only being called for 1 foul. Complete BS. I try not to go all @InVOLuntary on officials, but the way Eddey is officiated is BS. Not just against TN, but everyone.

 

[volbeast33]

You must have missed the shaq years…. He won’t be able to defend in the NBA though.

 

[MaxVolnGA]

Really nice run and such an enjoyable team to watch. No excuses. Lot of easy shots missed, lot of hard shots made. Hope our bigs puts on an extra 40lbs of muscle for next year.
GBO!

Troll.

Granted Estrella isn’t gonna be a starter but I was happily surprised by how he did with Edey given what he was up against.

You have a rite to your opinion.

 

[Glitch]

I’m not gonna lie, I’ll root for Alabama basketball before I ever root for Purdue

Too many other good big men in the league for Edey to get the calls he's gotten in college. He won't be a good NBA player IMO. He won't get away with all the fouls.

 

[SoilVol]

So sad man. Just gutted for these guys and Coach Barnes. Nothing more they could do with Edey. Can't control how the NCAA has decided to govern Edey's play.

These guys fought so hard. Awaka and Estrella played so hard. Awaka played an incredible tournament. Dalton Knecht is a legend in orange no matter what. These guys are SEC champs and took us to an Elite 8.

I think we are the 3rd best team in the country. 100% believe it. Going to remember this season for a long time.
