    I haven't watched much until the last couple of weeks -- does Mitchell have any offensive moves?  Have they ever run a play for him that's not a lob?

    Charles Barkley once said about DeAndre Jordan, “If you left him in a gym overnight by himself and told him he couldn’t dunk, he’d have 4 points in the morning.”

    Sadly, that basically applies here too.

    Yes, that's because he had earned himself a longer leash. RT hasn't.

    Well, I don’t think RT’s leash is 6 more years, but it’s not 1 more year either. So the whole discussion of his firing as if it’s coming any time soon is dumb.

    We forced our winningest coach, who took us to the Final 4, out. I doubt RT stays here long if he doesn't make it to the second week and doesn't finish in the top 2/3 in the SEC.

    Barnes won 2 tournament games his last 6 years here.

    RT cannot afford anymore portal whiffs like Horton and Onyema.

    Horton and Onyema were last minute replacements after we had two blue chip recruits bail out of their letter of intents. It was a unique emergency situation. We should not take those caliber of players again.

  5. The Ignite really were only created to give kids an option to make money without having to leave the country. NIL has rendered it pointless, closing it down is the right call.

    He probably would be at Arky in all honesty. It didn't seem like there was much momentum for top guys to Gleague Ignite this year anyways but good to eliminate the possibility

    Yeah, most people thought he was flipping to Arkansas when he first asked out of his letter of intent here.

    This dude has one of the worst offensive games I’ve ever seen from a power conference guard. 

    Cal stinks, so a player can transfer there and get a green light they wouldn’t get at almost any other power conference school. Jaylon Tyson ended up at Cal and actually flourished there because of this.

    But Askew does almost nothing well offensively, an extra green light doesn’t matter for him.

    So in these settings, does the team that's already played a game have the advantage over a rested team ?

    In these settings, the team that isn’t coached by Rick Barnes has the advantage.

    I don’t think that’s likely, based on a couple of things I’ve read. Do you have them saying anything like that somewhere?

    No, as I said, I’m just guessing. They haven’t said publicly they’re a package deal. But if the two OL continue to rise, there will be more schools willing to take all 3, it won’t just be Tech.

    Yep.  Going to get a feel for all these OOS guys before deciding on guys like Jackson Christian, Tyler Thomas, and the Coleman twins.  Fasusi is probably the only guy in-state that could commit right now.  Well, probably Haywood and Rogers, but those two don't look likely currently.

    The Coleman twins are actually the Coleman triplets. The 3rd brother is a DL who isn’t quite as big and won’t be as highly ranked as the other two. I’m guessing the biggest school willing to take all 3 is the one who lands them.

    Sand aggy has already offered all 3.
