Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[KB5252]

We don't have enough offense and our defenders aren't strong enough inside currently. Undisciplined on defense right now.

Need a huge boost to have a chance to get back into this one.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Agree to disagree. Hardly anyone had this team in the elite 8 at the beginning of the year. Gainey is at least showing some fight.

What? We clearly looked like one of the best teams in the country early on. And everyone said this team was better than last years in the offseason.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I think 55 is the number.

That's where we need to meet them

 

[MarcoVol]

Well you can rest easy, Barnes isn’t going to change that.

What happened before Richt, or Barnes is and was completely irrelevant.

Only thing relevant is both have a ceiling.
If settling for that is good enough for you then you should be extremely happy now.

Barnes is the most successful coach in the history of the program lol.

Some Vol fans are ridiculous.

You’ll get a new coach when he retires.

 

[GVol1966]

Hey, we’ll see. Our history with coaching hires says we’ll be lucky not to go through 2-3 coaches before we get back to this level.

Danny whites history of coaching hires, here and before he got here says you are wrong.

 

[KB5252]

Gainey has provided the spark, now we need Lanier to get going.

 

[SoilVol]

If you turned the game off you're good luck. Keep it off.

Weren't we ranked #1 for a while early?

Get it to 10 by 9mins and we could be cooking

The Florida game from yesterday should tell everyone it’s not over yet. Big hill to climb but Gainey is at least leading a charge. Let’s get Lanier and ZZ going.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Jordan Gainey is our biggest dog, in our biggest games. He's going to have to carry us again.


We've got to cut it to 10 by 10 mins to go. It's possible but we've got to hit some freaking shots. Looking at you Chaz and Zakai


GO VOLS

 

[KB5252]

Not getting stops defensively is a problem

 

[GVol1966]

Barnes is the most successful coach in the history of the program lol.

Some Vol fans are ridiculous.

You’ll get a new coach when he retires.

And he’ll get you the same # of championships as the most least successful.

I mean if Chaz has an average shooting performance

Lord

 

[Volnut]

Gainey can't beat them by himself.

 

[rocktopper16]

Trade Knecht for Chaz and this wouldn’t be a game.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Gainey can't beat them by himself.

Hard to believe Lanier is off this much with how he's played recently

 

[SaguaroVols]

Our guys are fighting. Struggling to get open shots. Everything’s contested.

Houston Defense just good and suffocating.

You have zero perspective dude.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Trade Knecht for Chaz and this wouldn’t be a game.

If we still had Knecht, we may have been the #1 overall seed lol

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Weren't we ranked #1 for a while early?

Yes and the last undefeated team.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

THEEF!!!!

 

[VolGee4]

And he’ll get you the same # of championships as the most least successful.

He’s won 2 regular season conference titles and a tournament title. First since 1979. If you pass those as irrelevant, then why be a fan? Just not true at all.

I guess it’s your perspective. I just didn’t expect this team to be top 10 all year and make the elite 8. We had tons of unknowns coming into the season and they did better than my expectations. Just don’t want the legion of the miserable to start crapping on this team and Rick Barnes. Still hoping for a miracle.
