They are Bros, not bras, bro.

Questions…

Why would he do that?
Why would they tell everyone he did?

When does recruiting amp back up ?

 

[Ttucke11]

Feel bad grant has been a journey man. At least he’s going home. Hopefully he’s getting pay raises along the way.

He decided to leave the Celtics to the tune of 13M+ a year. Now he can be a feature player on admittedly a bad bad team.

I thought he was a sign and trade to Mavericks from Celtics.

 

[KptVFL]

I know I’m biased, but he is just a much better all around player than Zach Eady. I mean, 8ft tall and just stays in the paint. Knecht can score from anywhere and much more athletic.

Just look at their draft projections!

He was but I was under the impression the Celtics helped facilitate his wishes in restricted free agency. I might be off on that. Either way he got a nice payday!

Elementary and HS teachers are underpaid
College professors make way too much

Depends on the university/college and what department the professor teaches in. Salaries vary WIDELY. A professor in engineering or business is likely to make 80+, English professor may be lucky to clear 50. Not all faculty are driving BMWs.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Marco is the resident devil’s advocate. Loves to debate.

^^^Truth

Some would say he's a master debater

 

[knoxvol52]

Just look at their draft projections!

NBA has changed from years ago.

In the 80's and 90's Edey would be a top 3 pick.

NBA is so spread out and shoot the 3 league.

Nothing pissed me off no more than watching a 3 on 1 fastbreak and team pulls up and shoots a 3 pointer .

 

[COOKEVOL]

Just look at their draft projections!

No kidding. Again, not saying Eady sucks, but Knecht is just so much more valuable in what he offers with his skill set. Not just some big that can stand in one spot and chuck it up there, and then draw the whistle 60% of the time he puts up a shot. Just an all around better player is Knecht.

Miami and Colorado are near top for Nico's brother..

Good for him

 

[Jackcrevol]

W Tennessee this traffic.,, How do you do this @Glitch?

 

[Orange.]

I don't think Madden will pick either.

 

[knoxvol52]

I don't think Madden will pick either.

Maybe not,though I don't think he will choose Tennessee either.

 

[Orange.]

Maybe not,though I don't think he will choose Tennessee either.

We took GMac as our '25. Can't get everyone.

I hope we get Faizon Brandon as our '26.

 

[knoxvol52]

That seems to be the route. Hopefully Madden commits to a school where he can showcase his talent.

Nick Saban:

“The NCAA can’t enforce their rules [against pay-for-play] because it’s not against the law, and that’s an issue, that’s a problem,” Saban said during his now-viral speech in Birmingham last month. “And unless we get something that protects them from litigation, I don’t know what we’re going to do about it.”

Saban has proposed in recent weeks keeping boosters out of the NIL process by identifying collectives as representatives of a particular school.

NCAA:

NCAA member schools and conferences not only make the rules but routinely call for greater enforcement of those rules and holding violators accountable.

This legal action would exacerbate what our members themselves have frequently described as a “wild west” atmosphere, further tilting competitive imbalance among schools in neighboring states...

Greg Sankey: July of 23'

The individual states are also preventing the NCAA and conferences from adopting and enforcing reasonable NIL standards...

 

[Orange_Crush]

Salaries fluctuate from county to county.
I just think it should be same across the board.

Math is often the great constraint to "should". It's hard to expect that poor counties will pay their gov't employees at the same rate that richer counties do.

 

[Vols4us]

The problem isn’t that Kelly is so awful. The problem, just like with the previous coach, is that the lady Vols deserve better, they deserve to be at the top, competing for championships.

I agree.

We expect the mens' programs to compete for NCs. Yet, the LV holdovers/cronies do not expect them to compete for NC's after having the GOAT women's HC deliver 8 of them? All of it happening with the tradition, fan support, money, and facilities to deliver it. That is unacceptable. It all works to the common good by at least attempting to be the best. Look at LV softball. Look at who attends LV softball games. It can be that way again with basketball.

Make the change and tell the old cronies to get on board or go away. It is obvious that a new fan and donor base needs to be developed and engaged. Time to turn the page.

When does recruiting amp back up ?

When Herbstreet gets on the phone.

@butchna Bears being represented in this HOF class.

Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Devin Hester.

Randy Grandishar was Denver I think

Julius Peppers also being cited by Bears fans. That’s more a Panthers legacy. Really hoping McMichael makes it to the enshrinement, but at least he’s conscious of his life’s work being rewarded. No one signified BEARS more than him. I could watch Hester highlights on a loop and never tire…truly special. But I got the TO vibe from his camp that he actually had to wait. It wasn’t a travesty imo. Good day while our elite think tank fans continue to debate the first overall pick.

 

[VolNash17]

I see Pretty Holly doing pretty holly things yet again… 16 point L to Bammer… it’s ridiculous at this point. So pathetic.
