I have a hard time reconciling this with your other post about Villanova being able to pay more than UT

That was someone else that said that about Villanova but I agree Nova has significantly more money than we have, all their resources are in basketball

Oh sorry

don't love the way this is setting up

What way did you expect it to set up?

I didn't want Gillespie on that Nova visit was hoping he'd just shut it down

 

[NighthawkVol]

Right…your original post was asking to ban me for name calling….how about you take your own advice from your previous post, you know the one that says “everyone has their own opinions” “no need to rub noses in it”

Pfft…as if there aren’t 100 better reasons to ban you than name-calling.

Hell, the smell alone…

I do be smelling…I won’t argue that

Thread has gotten boring. Anyway...

Who is a plausible backup plan for Gillespie (just for discussion as I think 90% or greater he is a Vol).

After McKneely and JG, what who will they go hard for next IYO?

ZZ

wonder if we won't hear any news for a week because of the dead peroid

You never do

 

[chavisut]

Mashack doesn’t add anything to this team besides stamina at this point. Great on defense but we keep hearing we want more offense, more offense and Shack doesn’t fit into that nor will he ever.

Bad take.

If Gillespie was to go elsewhere these are other point guard names on the board: Jordan Marsh, Jayden Reid & Barrington Hargress.

If they land McKneely and Gillespie they’ll turn their attention towards another scoring guard, such as Lamar Wilkerson or Donovan Atwell.

They’ll also continue their pursuit of both Elyjah Freeman & Alvaro Folgueiras.

Thornton news is a big downer. McNeely is a credit transfer to major issue. Will be resolved. Spent all the way to midnight on JG. Not closed, but he wants to be here. I think we’ll sort both. Parents are heavily involved in both, and we almost never lose those.

Were they eyeing Thornton to play the 2? I thought he was a PG (and since he was second-team all conference, wouldn’t be to back up JG).

Can’t have a variety show without variety.

Need more headliners though or the show will get cancelled

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

I agree with @TrippieRedd love the ZZ, Mashak show but they are in the past now and we need to see with this new blood crop of players can do. It's time for a new era possibly with more offense.

Kind of how I feel about some posters…

 

[TrippieRedd]

Bad take.

He hustles 100% when he’s on the floor (stamina) and I said he doesn’t provide offense?

Where am I wrong?

 

[EasternVol]

Interesting that Barnes and staff apparently didn't think he was SEC material coming out of HS but do now. Can't imagine he chose Belmont over TN if they were recruiting him.

Athletic abilities change as bodies and minds develop.

Yes -- you seem to have the best pulse of this.

Wilkerson seems hard but Atwell feels doable.
Freeman seems hard now with Florida schools and Indiana involved...any other wing names? Personally, I've loved Pozzato this whole time but wasn't even sure how he ended up on your list.

Alvaro is skilled but I wonder if his price, as well as his lack of athleticism and playing below the rim, might not make him the best fit. Would really love a bouncy forward at the 4 who can defend and take advantage of opportunities off the roll. A Tyler Smith-type would be ideal here, IMO (as far as being able to finish and create shots around the basket).

Alvaro is soooooo good

LeJuan Watts from Washington State entered. Not sure of our interest, but I like his game

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Idk if we will be players like you said, but he’d be one of my top choices.

I know Rod has followed him for some time.

 

[TrippieRedd]

AJ Storr entered as well, he would’ve been a nice get a year or so ago…prob should’ve stayed at Wisconsin.

 

[EasternVol]

I was sorry and surprised he left us. Then I watched him last week and he looked lost.

Did you see the St. Johns game?

 

[EasternVol]

If UNC can make up a fake department and major who says Tennessee can't

How'd that work out for UNC?
