Chet is going to be a bust. Hes way too small. Imagine him going up aginst Embiid, Kat, Gobert just to name a few. I thought he needed another year in college just to get bigger. He barely could handle the strength of college players.

If you think Chet is skinny you should see next years #1 pick Victor Wembamyama who's about 7'3 210 lbs. Both will be problems in the NBA with their length, and ability to score. They'll gain the weight needed.

Kidd Brizek is an awesome name for someone who will be on the bench.

Sounds like a rapper from the mid-late 90s.

Pretty telling how little these analysts know about what their talking about when they can’t even bother to get the rosters right. Not knowing something as basic as Fulkerson being gone pretty much invalidates anything he said before that about Phillips.

True, although, to be fair, assuming Fulky received a 7th year of eligibility wasn't so far-fetched.

does anyone know if their will be a rocky top tip-off this year?

Travis Graf:

Tennessee feels good about their chances with Freddie Dilione, and so do I. Close to putting in a FutureCast for him to UT, but want to have a couple of more conversations.

For who, Edwards?

Freddie Dilione

Bet this is the reclass candidate.

Yep, sticking with him as my pick, too.

Travis Graf on Freddie Dilione:

Next update is next month. He’ll be well taken care of. 35 could be too cautious, too. Could go higher. He’s arguably a top 25 guy. Hard to find better scorers in this class.

If he really is the reclass guy, just a few more things to get us excited from some of the most respected guys in college basketball. Article snippet is from Rob Dauster

Seeing as The Field of 68 hates Tennessee and always finds a thing to dog us about, maybe Dillone will actually make them pay attention to us.

This is starting to sound a lot like the Cason Wallace hype ramp-up we witnessed last summer. He moved all the way into the top 10. Hope this one turns out better.

If so, and Dillone is as good as the hype suggests, next year’s team

It would be pretty nice to have a true score-first lead guard.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This would certainly be interesting.

It’s happening, been the case for awhile.

Why flip from North Carolina who was in the National Title game last year to an SEC bottom dweller ?

He always wanted to go to SC, when they fired Frank Martin it opened the door for UNC, he committed there but then reclass became an option, UNC doesn’t have a spot, SC did and they had built a relationship with him.
