Saying it was early because Rutgers is ranked high is a pretty clear sign you are an alter or don't know shite. Tough scene....

[quote]Rather early to be jumping up and down about that considering UConn is currently 9th and Rutgers is 8th.[/quote]
Early? 99% of the class is signed.
You realize Rutgers signed 2 of the 4 best players in the country, right?...

It isn't 2012 anymore. Knoxville is a very nice mid-sized city with a great downtown and beautiful scenery.

In my opinion, I'm judging my coach and program on 2 things
(a) Do they consistently have Top 4 seeds (giving them a very good shot at getting to the 2nd weekend more often than not)
(b) Have they shown they can win in the tournament (at least 1-2 runs where they outperform their seed)

:rotflmao: They were in the top 50 in 2019, FYI. So they cratered in 2020 and barely got better from 2020 in 2021, but far below the year before he was the OC.
Also, he was let go with everyone else on staff as Skip Holtz was fired after 2021.

Joe Sloan was OC for 2 years at Louisiana Tech (his other play calling experience before being named OC at LSU this year).

I hope not. The tournament is a fickle arse beast. But I do think it's build a team that compete for the conference title and make a tournament run or bust for sure. ...

On Torvik's 2025 projections, if you run with the everybody back + Cliff roster (not including Philon), we are #5 in the country.
#5 Overall - 0.9305
#3 Offense - 119.8
#33 Defense - 95.6

I imagine there are 2 thoughts with the Philon thing.
(a) Nate is not going to be caught flat footed again at the guard spot. It was clear that having to play Sears and Estrada 37-40 minutes a night really was not something he wanted to have to do, but he had no alternative.
(b) A clear selli...
