Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[InVOLuntary]

tennessee isnt even the 5th best team in sec right now.

id rather have steve forbes and an exciting brand for half the cost. at least he isnt a dick.

I truly believe they're a bubble team right now. Unless the light comes on we very well could miss the tournament.

I think we won't see coach Barnes more than next season. He seems disinterested and he doesn't like the rule changes and NIL. I think he's close to saying ef it.

10 and 13 need a peanut butter sandwich at halftime.

I miss having some muscle on the team

Steve would do quite well here, proven track record and on track to get Wake Forest to 20 wins for first time in awhile for them in his 2nd season. Agree with what you said

 

[Smokey123]

I normally do as well but he's lathered up for KY to the point it's sickening.

Yup he always does

losing him at ETSU hurt. was lots of fun.

The lack of development of BHH is downright criminal. No excuse to be playing Uros in league play

I just don’t think he’s quite ready. Is lost on defense.

 

[VolGee4]

Ok, hot take. Ive defended Barnes for several years. Like the guy, and we've had some good teams. But, we have underachieved relative to talent. Seeing us routinely get bullied around the rim, being a half court, defensive team is as frustrating as Pruitt cheating to get four and five star players to average 19 pts a game.

Look at all the transfers Pruitt had. I mean, is Barnes missing in evals? Having a team of 5 Seniors is certainly the exception.

At what point do we ask ourselves is the product worth the money?

He never had 5 seniors.

 

[Jackcrevol]

He never had 5 seniors.

upperclassmen

This is what happens when u recruit G5 level athletes to play big boy ball. Outmatched athletically

G5 level athletes….. say what?

I think people forget that BHH is supposed to be a senior in high school right now.

 

[utvols88]

This team is underwhelming.

 

[Revived2002]

Nothing better than a Volnation mid-game meltdown over coaching!

Never mind this is early in the season, a road game against a ranked team in one of the toughest arenas in basketball.

We gotta burn UT basketball to the ground and kickstart the 5 year rebuild!

Lol

 

[Smokey123]

Texas Tech beats Kansas and Baylor back to back just to lose to Kstate … ouch

 

[Smokey123]

This is the most disappointing team to me in the Barnes Era.

Agree

 

[Revived2002]

I love it!!

Burn it all down!!!

Uros is a filler. Empty 7'0" uni.

stiffest player ive ever seen. any one who can leap gets the board.

There is an article on that in the basketball Forum where Barnes addresses what's going on with BHH.

Lol tf do you mean G5 level athletes

 

[Jackcrevol]

No way they can keep shooting 78% for the whole game.

it'll be a game in second half.
this goes back to last year with two future nba players. werent good.

There is something with Barnes style of coaching…. I’m not sure exactly what it is but it’s been an issue his whole career.

I still think we’ll make the tourney unless we absolutely collapse. We still have good wins vs UNC, Zona and Colorado and will have plenty of easy wins.

But this is ridiculous, offense finally plays good and defense is the worst it’s been in years. Hopefully they can put it all together before tourney play but I don’t think they will

And the fact that Rick is 8-6 against UK. No reason to melt down in a loss at Rupp. We’ve only won there 19 times in 110 years, and Rick has 3 of them.

I don’t watch when we play at Rupp because I’ve done it too many times before.

Is it too much to ask that they make halftime adjustments?

They’ve played 4 games this week with 2 on the road. Tough stretch.
