Bruce made a mistake going back to this helter skelter style. You need superior shooters for this to work and even then you can lose to anybody if your shots aren't falling. Plus I don't see anyway to put together 6 straight wins in March doing this.

Those last 3 Tennessee teams were much better in the postseason and much more efficient defensively despite being "less fun" to watch and some growing pains in the half court throughout the season.

This is the 2nd game of the season with about 8 newcomers. He has to find out what they can and cannot do.

Not sure why he's gone back to this pressing. His recruiting is reminding me of what he did early at Tennessee. If he wants to compete with UK, UNC, etc. on the trail (like for a Tobias Harris type kid) I don't think this is the way to go at all.

Have you seen our 2016 and 2017 recruiting classes?

You couldn't have...

You think those are the types of players the blue bloods are after?

Obviously very good players. He landed Duke Crews and Ramar Smith who were 5*s in his first few classes at Tennessee as well but I am talking about guys Duke, UK, UNC, Kansas, etc. want. Heron and those guys don't fit that profile. He was just getting Tennessee to that point where he could get guys like that when he got the show cause and the change in philosophy is what allowed that.
