Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[KB5252]

I will never understand kentucky fans lol. What a miserable existence to only be able to talk **** because of what another team has done. It's the saddest damn thing to see.

It really is little Johnson energy.

My daughter and I just watched a funnel cloud or maybe we should just call it area of rotation, not on ground, go just to the north of us. We live on one of the higher points in Maury county on nouth facing side.

I wonder about our own basketball NIL situation. Do we have the NIL funds to stay competitive in all the major sports? I hope so.

I do as well. This team was extremely thin this year. We had little depth. Our interior pieces were lacking IMO. Had some guys leave, wonder if it's because we couldn't come up with money.

i'd say theres a 10% chance we will be better next year with NIL.

We need to get better talent on offense in football as well as basketball.

If I were Rick Barnes, today would ingnite a fire in my gut to make me recuit seven five stars, and win the whole damn thing.

Sadly I think this is the last hoorah.

Buy the 2 best shooters in the portal.
Find a PG to rotate with Boswell.
Try again on another stretch 4.


I'd like to get that Gillespie kid from Maryland and move him to a 2 guard and run him and the McNeely kid on the floor together.

I’ve said it before but a lot of them hate Tennessee more than they love Kentucky.

Big thank you to Bob Kesling an Money Bertlekamp for their years broadcasting bball. That was their sweet spot. Enjoy retirement.

Happy Monday


March 31, 2025; When you get overwhelmed with life and circumstances, take a breath. Seek the Lord. Jesus is greater than any condemnation. He will lead you out of the darkness into the light of life and liberate you from reproach. God is your strength and your shield. Psalm 61:1-2 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Zakai Zeigler and Jahmai Mashack combined:

SEC: 51-21 (.708)
30-win season
SEC Regular Season Champs
SEC Regular Season Runner-Ups
SEC Tournament Champs
SEC Tournament Runner-Ups
3 Sweet 16s
2 Elite 8s
National DPOY finalist x2
SEC DPOY x2
All-SEC 1st Team x2
All-SEC Defensive Team x5
All-SEC 2nd Team
All-SEC Freshman Team

Legendary careers. Arguably the best 4 year stretch in Vols basketball history.

We were all hoping for even better results, but the reality is the roster as it was assembled and within the system that CRB runs maxed out the results. When you look at the four #1 seeds in the FF and compare the difference is clear. I greatly appreciate CRB, staff and the players for their efforts. Best Vol basketball ever.

To take the next step it is obviously about upgrading the roster by finding some guys who can score the ball against good competition. DK showed us the value of O on all three levels. Gainey in his limited minutes and talent level showed us the same this year. Our opponents have shown us the value of toughness and rebounding inside the paint. Most quality teams need a quality back up PG as well.

It is on to the O/W spring game and our NC diamond Vols, the latter of which has no roster weaknesses.

Now the Bruce Pearl window lickers are coming out to play.

We already beat him once on neutral field, so let them come. I would take Rick Barnes a thousand times over. He is not only a good coach, but brings out the good in his players. We should all be PROUD to be a VOLS basketball fan with him there. There is no talk about molesters or murderers, or cheaters in our coach or players.

Thanks for continuing to share these with us. I copy and paste it to several people each day and a couple of them really need it right now. They’ve shared with me the look forward and anticipate it every morning. I do as well.

Under the pictures of Rick hugging Z and Mashack wanting to win for us and the coach, there were snarky comments from mostly Kentucky fans. I was wondering what would make a fan act like that? Z and Mashack have been through a lot in their lives and turned out to be really upstanding guys. Mashack even won the torchbearer award. They've done everything the right way. They had become extremely close to the coach, who is also a good man who not only creates NBA players but turns them into men with character. They won't brag on themselves but ask DIckie V.

Anyway, I realized that Kentucky only has one sport and it's over. What Our Athletic Director has done for VOLS sports is amazing. Although Rick Barnes will no doubt have to rebuild next year, they made the elite 8 two years in a row. , our Football team made the college football playoffs. We are the defending national champions in Baseball who have only lost two games this year, The softball team just won a series against the National championship winner from last year. Our girls basketball coach went to sweet 16 in her first year and is recruiting amazingly well Hopefully our best stay out of the portal, but still we are definitely on an upward trajectory. Neyland and Lindsay Nelson are going through remodels.. and this doesn't even start to talk about the other sports-- swimming, hocky etc. etc. etc.

It's great to be a Tennessee Vol.

Feel like that is truth for both major sports.

Kentucky is a has been program that can’t cope with not being the cock of the walk anymore. Tearing Tennessee down is all they have left. Pathetic bottom tier fanbase.

Just signed a top 5 class.

Sure, they got busted down a rank or two. But thinking that Barnes snapped a finger and made them irrelevant is ignorant to fact that Pope is bringing in talent (arguably better than we are).

Barnes is either here or not. Love having this staff but they arent elite recruiters. Top 5 teams are proof that it matters.
