Jahmai Mashak Press Conference

[barney]

Mashak is such a good dude. Wants to be at TN, despite the mercenary mindset created by NIL. Wants to win. Might be one of my favorite basketball players to ever wear the orange and white.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Mashak is a rare breed.

Not many players like him left.

 

[tennrich1]

Glad he’s a Vol! Usually when a kid has great parents it shines like the sun. Mashack CLEARLY has great parents!

 

[PYSCHO]

Mashak is a rare breed.

Not many players like him left.

He is a well spoken and brought up as a outstanding young man. Wish more of the youth today would listen to what he says about sticking it out fight to get there and not the easy way. Role model for all

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

LOVE this kid. He is going to surprise a bunch of people with his offensive production. I think if he can really improve his 3 point shot, he will get lots of looks with Carr’s ability to get to the rim

Mashak is a rare breed.

Relative to the rest of college basketball, we’ve had our fair share of that rare breed, which I’m thankful for

Agree 100! Do most of you here know he had some health issues as a child that he has overcome?

No reason not to believe he will continue to improve as a shooter. He made great strides from his freshman season. He made some big and timely threes for us this year. His FT % went up too. Freaking gamer

 

[StoneokeyVol]

This dude! I'm glad he isn't leaving. We will need his leadership and team oriented mindset. Rare breed indeed.

 

[PYSCHO]

Agree 100! Do most of you here know he had some health issues as a child and young man that he has overcome?

if so no and he is top notch person take away basketball. Need more like him

He is my favorite player as a person who has ever played for TN. I can't say he is my favorite on the court with the likes of Grunfield, King, White, Houston, Lofton, and Knecht! But, he is definitely loved and respected by me as a favorite person representing UT and great player!

 

[kell7517]

Well spoken young man. I like that he welcomes the hard practices and coaching and understands it benefits everyone. Glad he’s a Vol. good luck in 24-25 and I hope you show out ‘shack!!

 

[Volfan1000]

This dude! I'm glad he isn't leaving. We will need his leadership and team oriented mindset. Rare breed indeed.

If he can average 12 to 15 ppg next season, that would help offset the loss of Knecht.

 

[MCScots4]

If he can average 12 to 15 ppg next season, that would help offset the loss of Knecht.

I think that is a little ambitious. I would be thrilled to get 10 out of him.

 

[SlyStone]

If he can average 12 to 15 ppg next season, that would help offset the loss of Knecht.

Balance scoring is key for this team this fall.

 

[sami]

This kid is a flat out stud. His loyalty, leadership, and determination to stick it out and not chase the latest shiny object will serve him well in life, wherever it might take him. He was clearly raised by wise and solid parents who instilled in him common sense and a serious work ethic. Jahmai is exactly the kind of role model we need to set an example for the next wave of Vols, just as ZZ, SV, and JJJ have been.

If this kid can develop any kind of consistency with his midrange and 3-pt. game to go with his slashing ability, he's going to have a long career at the next level.

 

[BigBadVol]

Give me a team full of JM’s and you keep the five stars!

 

[aaronvol]

I'm telling you...this team will be better next season. It's coming together.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I'm telling you...this team will be better next season. It's coming together.

Give us a hint on the big

 

[Lefteye]

I love a good double down!!

 

[dunkingdan]

Great representative of the University. A big hat tip to his family, they have a right to be proud if this young man.

 

[Voljayton]

You can tell by the way he talks and how his mindset is that he'll be successful his whole life. He's a born winner. Can't wait to watch him play some more. What an awesome dude.

Talk about leading a horse to water and not letting him drink!
