Recruiting Football Talk VII

[SoilVol]

Still managed to score 81 with that abysmal start. Still held red hot KY to 85.

We're still champs. We can get KY back in the SEC finals and secure the #1 with a win.

This kid is such a fool.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Knecht would have shot an even higher percentage if he wasn’t forced to put up so many questionable shots being the only offense. We don’t have many players who can get and make their own shots.

Tough loss, bc its home. But really what else can we accomplish in reg season?

 

[SoilVol]

Vescovi has had way too many 0 FG’s made games. Not sure what happened to his offensive game this season but it’s been putrid.

Tbf, a lot of those games he's only attempted 2 or 3 shots.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

At all!…her first two years sure…but these recruits and parents see the kind of coaching they’re getting so she’s wasting her time recruiting anyone really…we’re at the level of a “thanks no thanks” in women’s basketball right now unfortunately

Theyre in a weird spot...... theyre better than most, but not Elite.

Unfortunately, as @LA Vol hinted, nobody in the admin seems to want to take the lead in forcing a change.

And that’s what happens when you hire an alum. And it can make the separation more painful.

I hate it for Harper too, but it definitely needs to be done. And hopefully it’s on good terms.

 

[knoxvol52]

Agh, Meiomi takes away the pain.

Eh. I suppose .

 

[Devo182]

Huge coaching error. Should have called timeout before the free-throws so powell could get her wind back. The foul was a good call but then let them get off a three. Embarrassing.

1) We were out of time outs from what I saw on the broadcast.

2) It was a TERRRRRRIBLE call. In what world does USCjr end up with a worse shot than where they were literally inbounding from? From an angle, that's nearly a 3/4s court shot straightaway....from a female college player not named Caitlin...

Y'all keep saying it was a good foul. You've lost yer daggum minds Please tell me what shot you're hoping they take that is less than 1%...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Sounds like SR Day might change moving forward.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

What is this defense? Even if you dont want to move Key, why is Rickea not in the centers face?


They dont have time to catch, pass, set up and shoot for the inbounder.

*my 1st time seeing that and that was just poor, lazy basketball. 1.1 seconds and you're up on the #1 team in the nation and that's how you finish?!?



*It looked like the LVs thought they had won before time actually ran out.

 

[SoilVol]

NegaVols in every forum st the moment

Crazy how that happens after we lose a close game despite already securing the SEC title.

But those people didn't have anything to say when we were winning. If you say nothing when we are doing well but type away when we lose you're 100% a troll.

She’s not going anywhere this offseason. Too many people too loyal to Pat’s legacy and those tied to her legacy, such as CKH, to make that move right now. They’ll be forced to make a change eventually, probably after next season.

She’s just mediocre. Can’t wait for a change eventually. The UNLV coach that played at Stanford and was an assistant at Belmont and Stanford has done a phenomenal job. Plus she’s a woman if it checks any boxes for the admin or whatever. Highly successful championship pedigree outside of the Pat tree… I just don’t get why they’re so stuck on mediocrity

They did.

 

[SugarCC]

Yeah losing to the best team in the nation by 1 is terrible

No...but, being 12-36 against the Top 25 is.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Tip of the hat to Kentucky. They made so many contested shots. We played good defense on a lot of their makes. They probably have the most raw talent in college basketball.

 

[InVOLuntary]

1) We were out of time outs from what I saw on the broadcast.

2) It was a TERRRRRRIBLE call. In what world does USCjr end up with a worst shot than where they were literally inbounding from?

We weren't out of timeouts. She turned one down before powell shot thr FT.

Say you don't know basketball without saying you don't know basketball. The foul was great strategy. They had 1.1 seconds after that foul. It was a pure catch and shoot only situation. Problem is they decided not to guard.

I’m not saying it was a good foul. I’m saying even a basic defensive effort still wins that game 99.5% of the time. They made a mistake, but it shouldn’t have been crippling or cost them anything at all.

And they let it cost them.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Tbf, a lot of those games he's only attempted 2 or 3 shots.

Further emphasizing my point as well. He used to create his shot in past years and was just a better overall offensive player.

 

[OrangenSC]

I don’t like how much he likes to hear himself speak

Hmm, he's the host of his 'speaking' show. Speaking is what he's supposed to do. The rest of us can decide whether or not we want to hear it.

I don't see a whole lot of what you're talking about because of my Clyde Torkel.Chicken Pit Special ignore list. @Leeleesteeth I finally got that sponsorship.

 

[Vols4us]

Today told me that it is unlikely we make a FF. I hope and pray that is not true. I just don't see the will to get it done out of the others not named Zakai or Dalton. Defense only goes so far. You need consistent O in this system from your third, fourth and even fifth options in some games. Not happening often enough. In this game they passed right out of the open looks wanting somebody else to do it. That's beta and will result in a loss in the tourney.

All that to say it has still been a very good season winning the SEC title and I am satisfied with a 2 seed in the AA since it is clear to me that we are not really a 1 seed with our deficiencies. Maybe we can get lucky with a good draw from that spot and get hot.

I am looking forward to the silly excuses of the LV faithful. Even middle school coaches knew what to do at the end. They don't make $1.1 million per year either. All I can say is if the UTAD puts up with it they are getting the performance they want at a price they want to pay for it.

Vescovi's play bothers me more than JJJ. JJJ has always been the most inconsistent 5 star I've ever seen but Vescovi's been solid ever since he's been at UT. I know he had family issues earlier this season but he's had an up and (mostly) down senior season.

There are people in the LV forum defending this “strategy”. Insanely incompetent coaching.
