I went to the Gonzaga game. They really do hustle. I've watched most games this year and at no point have I ever said to myself, we just aren't putting for the effort.

I really think we have gotten better and players seem to clearly know what their roles are on this team right now. That's helped the team tremendously. Now, they've got to get these next two on the road.

We were very fortunate to land Barnes. I think from year 3 going forward the basketball program starts to climb back to fighting for consistent tournament runs year in and year out. As somebody who likes UT BB a little more than I should this is a great development.

I think Barnes recruits based on what he wants in a player, not stars. So far these lowly recruited guys are pretty damn good for freshman.

Barnes is a very, very good when it comes to the x's and o's.

If he could recruit a little bit, we might just have something cooking imo

Nailed it. He is easily one of the better basketball coaches in SEC. Some of the other guys are names who have very little coaching ability, but Barnes can teach the game.

Just needs to actually leave campus to recruit instead of watching MASH reruns while eating Mayfield ice cream.

If it were not for the vastly superior post quality of VOL boarders I would have abandoned tRant long ago...

this post is an example of why I can still survive this website
