Assuming many on this board are also Titans fans. Tough time to be a football fan in Middle Tennessee.......

This is for the staff, why haven't you guys asked McDevitt about international recruiting? It seems like the ladies have been successful with it, and the style of play McDevitt likes the international players would be a better fit. He would get fundamental sound kids, that can actually shoot the rock. Those players have carried St. Mary's and Gonzaga, you don't have to worry about them leaving for NIL money, since they can't benefit from that.

If you go to GoMiddle.com from a phone, go to the dropdown and forums, Raider Roundup is not an option.

The only 2 forums that show under the forum tab are Lightening Lounge and the Main Rivals board.

The only way to get to Raider Roundup is to go to new posts and click on a post that happens to be from this forum.

A person can’t get to this forum except by luck or knowing to search for it. I have a screenshot but can’t see an option to attach a photo except from a URL.

I sent questions to @ConorONeill and Conor sent questions to @Shayne_Pickering

Here is my piece with Conor's answers.

Here is the article with Shayne's answers.

The Lady Raiders make a big splash in the 2025 Class with the signing of 6'9" (!?) Center from Spain!

Her most recent action could be seen at the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup. Dominguez played limited time with a high ankle sprain, but there is so much to like about her potential in Insell's system!

You may notice low numbers in few games, but I'd draw the attention to her final game where she scored 16 points in 18 minutes (8/11 shooting) in her final game against Mexico. Spain plays 5 out which keeps her out of the paint, but in MT's motion offense this will keep her low and active and giving her more opportunities with her back to the basket (similar to Boldyreva, but 3 inches taller).

This is a big get for the Lady Raiders as Dominguez selected MT over other P4 offers but her final 5: Miami, South Florida, Washington, Liberty, and MTSU.

Stay tuned as I work on putting together a film package.

What is the issue? I refuse to belive that the talent gap between us and Western is that big. If the excuse is that Stockstill left us with no talent, Mason signed 53 new players this year were they all terrible too?

Mason dominated Stockstill's spread offense when he was at Vanderbilt. Why is he struggling mighty right now?

Mason is a defensive guy. Is the issue is the defensive scheme? Why would he hire a terrible defense coordinator and why would he allow it to continue thus far?

Any chance he takes over defensive calling?

This is just crazy terrible defense. Tennessee Tech was bad and of course Ole Miss. If it doesn't improve I don't see a win on our schedule. Maybe Kennesaw State.
