looks like there were plenty of recruits in the house

4 star prospect with interest from top schools. Has multiple SEC and Big12 offers.

I noticed a couple of tweets from recruits seemingly at NT this weekend. Anyone know if this is a big weekend for visits?

Ah ok understood. And I get that, but wasn’t trying to go there.

I didn’t say it to be right or to be negative. It was based on their play. I haven’t seen enough of the basketball team to make a definitive assessment but just judging off the results we seem to be underperforming.

Thanks for clarifying. So a ten point win is better than a one point win and scoring efficiency matters as well. Good to know.

Two quick points: 1) In the case of basketball the rankings do matter quite a bit - specifically the NET rankings. I believe they do have a provision that includes victories over 10 points. So these close games against presumably inferior are a disadvantage for us when seeding or a potential at-large bid are at stake. (Not a BBALL expert at all obviously, so anyone with better info please correct me.) 2) I said something similar during the football season and was lambasted a bit for it. I think I said "very good, but not great" but with the potential to be great. I would argue that the football team never fully realized that greatness. The ODU game was proof of that. One could easily argue the basketball team is pretty much at that same point.

Has anyone considered that this team isn’t top 25 or even top of the conference? The early season didn’t tell us much and conference games against inferior have been disappointing. I hope they pull it together, as there is clearly quite a bit of talent on this team. But right now, they are not firing on all cylinders.
