Ron Slay on what makes this roster different

[BruisedOrange]

It takes him about 6 mins to get to it, but a nice explanation of what this mixture of proven abilities means for opposing teams.

Absolutely loaded team. Can’t wait

Absolutely loaded team. Can’t wait

Should be really good. Might pump the brakes on loaded.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Should be really good. Might pump the brakes on loaded.

Team is stacked.

The starting lineup, on paper, is absolutely loaded.

Will our bench produce? Who knows. We have talented freshman on the pines.

This roster would not beat 2026 Michigan

Plug in a 6’10” 275lb bruiser and I’d call it loaded, but we don’t have that.

You don't know that

Do you know what the preseason odds were for Indiana to win the 2025 Natty in football?

In this new era of college sports, you can load up the talent with $$$, but it's impossible to know how teams will look until the lights come on.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Indiana struck Gold at QB. Just like Joe Burrow LSU and Cam Newton Auburn. One of these new guys the next MJ? Doubt it.

Just sayin the vibe around here is this team gonna blow everybody out by 20+. There will be some very disappointed Vol fans in March next year when it sinks in that we forgot to fill the post spot.

Because I've been watching BBall long enough to know we totally disregarded the advantage of having a post scorer to ensure a shot at winning it all.

I'd have to agree, we really should've went after a post scorer.

We have plenty of pieces and can scheme around not having a clodhopper down low. Especially by running at a fast pace.

In case you forgot. Rick Barnes is still our coach. Bruce won't be here until after next season. The thought that Rick is gonna run up and down the court scoring 90 a game is laughable.

That fast paced with no big really helped the Lady Vols, huh.

Have you forgotten when Jordan Bone and Kennedy Chandler were the PGs? All of the air was left in the ball.

Bruce? He’s an old man now.

You’re comparing women’s basketball to the men?

You think he just retired from coaching to be an analyst? He's coming back.
