If Coach Barnes can add Tyson, Igor, and Okpara to that roster, things are looking up for the Vols! I don't know who the other two scholarships will end up being, but that team can play right there! Go Vols!!!ZZ - 31.6 mpg
Gainey - 18.4 mpg
Mashack - 17.9 mpg
Cade - 6.0 mpg
JP - 5.0 mpg
Carr - 4.3 mpg
Bishop - INCOMING
Dubar - 34.6 mpg (at Hofstra)
That's what's on the roster right now...if Tyson, Igor, and Felix are wanting minutes and playing time we're the best team available for that for all 3 of them. If it's just about $$$ then I'm sure someone else will overpay them to be backups. We shall see.
Well at least these athletes are getting compensated along with the scrutiny that comes with big time college athletics.And there will be a VN board meltdown by more than a few posters whenever he throws a worm burner or misses a wide open WR that gets behind the defense.
The LoTMs still fuss about the Barnes compensation package. It’s a weird fetish whining about the money being tossed around that’s not even their’s.
I hope so. That’s what we asked him to do— Don’t commit this weekend. Give us a chance to counter etc. UNC told him Ingram was gone and told him to get in the boat Friday or risk losing the spot. I’m actually surprised we are still talking to him. No one I know has any insight on what he’s going to say, but they’re scrambling to be ready. Crazy portal season.My guess it’s gonna be one of those meetings where he says “this is what they offered. Match it and I’m a Vol”
Drop your friend’s cashapp. We can make it happen $20 at a timeI hope so. That’s what we asked him to do— Don’t commit this weekend.

Including stuffed giraffes?I mean, the center market in the portal this year was pretty thin, who was a player comparable to Aidoo in terms of size and stats in a P5 conference? Ballo, who is reportedly getting north of $1 million from Indiana? Am I missing anyone else? People on this board are salivating over the Ohio State kid who averaged 6 points a game last season, imagine you’re a Baylor fan and see Aidoo’s stats and the standard 5 minute YouTube comp of dunks and blocks, I suspect you’d want to pay him whatever he wanted
Hope he only visits one Vil….KnoxvilleYep, Okpara should be in tomorrow. View attachment 636123
Am I the only one who thinks this kid looks raw? Ohio State, which was sub-500 in the big10, felt a need to replace him with Aaron Bradshaw. There are several centers out there with more refined skills than Felix Okpara.Just reported on FB that Felix Okapara will visit the Vols tomorrow! Things are looking up for the Vols!!!
He’s very raw, but athletic and coachable by all accounts. I think the upside is there, with good rebounding in the meantime.Am I the only one who thinks this kid looks raw?
