He needs to toughen up, come on man your 7 foot you got to flush some of those

 

[KBVol]

Uros is no SEC player

That’s not true. He’s a freshman with really good skills. Needs development to say the least, but the tools are there. And you can’t coach 7 feet. I think he’s a promising player.

 

[KB5252]

Just losing plays. Just dumb. Getting beat bad but making it worse. He did get fouled earlier and it wasn't called.

Because he went up weak, he's the weakest big man I've seen, a pushover.

 

[BreatheUT]

Barnes has done a piss poor job of recruiting...Fact

Difficult to ignore. It's not bad players fault.

 

[zjcvols]

Well, losing 4 starters usually means you're gonna suck

I would argue only able to keep 1/6 players from two recruiting classes (2017-2018) means more instead of losing 4 starters.

 

[Alex10]

I remember all the kiddies on here having Plavsic starting and being a triple double guy

Not so much

It was just the easy excuse that he was denied for the coach slurpers, now that he is playing and obviously was never going to be a difference maker this year they have had to move on to different excuses.

 

[Roustabout]

Come on, Barnes has totally ****ed up post recruiting.

 

[TAD]

Can we say all our players puked at half .. and get on road back to k town .. maybe they can make their 8 am classes in am

What good skills other than offensive rebounding has he shown? He sucks on defense, he can’t score in the post, and he’s shown no passing ability. He’s a meh athlete at best.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

The scariest thing to me is how is Barnes not making any changes night in and night out.

Like you are a great coach, I don't care what you do. I don't care if we lose by 50+

At least try!

Nothing to change when you got nothing but crap right now.

 

[ttocswob]

Good D Gaines

Yeah..DJ Burns would've been huge for this team

Definitely expected more like at least be a shot blocker.

 

[BreatheUT]

Yeah..DJ Burns would've been huge for this team

And Walker.

 

[KBVol]

Congrats on an absolutely stupid, horrible take.

This team is soft as ****. Nobody competes, nobody shows any sign of emotion or life. Dumb play by Uros but at least he showed something, anything, unlike every other player on the floor for Tennessee. He showed a little fight....gotta start somewhere.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Idk hes not really lighting it up in the bad big south.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

I couldn't find the blue font....

 

[ttocswob]

Need to cut this to single digits...

Nice job on a dumbass take.

None needed. I've watched him 2 times in person. As big as he is he should be dominating that league. He isn't.

Throwing an elbow into the back of someone because you’re playing like **** after a common foul isn’t toughness or showing life. It means you’re an immature dumbass costing your team points

It's gutted us. You can't miss on 85 percent of your recruits in a 2 year span and expect to keep afloat. The 3 freshmen 5 stars better be legit immediate impact players or we will struggle big time next season too. May anyway if we don't land a big body grad transfer who can do something with opposing big men.

 

[DocVOLiday]

we actually closed the half out decently. down 8 at half

 

[zjcvols]

Nice job on a dumbass take.

Didn’t refute any of my points though. He’s a 21 year old RS freshmen who can offensive rebound and that’s it.

 

[zaqhhh]

Mix up the man-zone, trap, do something.

I get the parts suck but this isn't even the hard stretch of the SEC and we are losing 4 straight
