[omghulkhands]

Looks like Rod with him. They went incognito lol.

Is this a recruiting violation?

RB: “okay now that you’ve had your country fried steak, tell us….what’s it gonna take for you to spurn fat neck this weekend and be a Vol”

Funny thing about rick barnes is that if I, or 90% of the fanbase, were to see him in public, we probably wouldn’t even realize it’s him until the times already passed

 

[All Vol!]

Don't ever say coach don't know how to wine & dine'em!

I won’t even lie, if I saw Barnes in public, I’d probably just assume he’s one of my grandpa's brothers. He looks exactly like half of them lol

If I had seen them, I would have paid for their meal. Went into the gift shop, got a piece of UT memorabilia, walked up to Freeman and asked him to sign it and say

“Will you sign this? Because have you seen what Coach did with Knecht and Lanier? If you sign with Tennessee, this’ll be worth something someday”

And I’d hope that’d make him feel cool lol

Study shows most valuable men’s, women’s college basketball programs

A new study shows the Univ. of North Carolina men’s basketball team has the highest valuation in the sport at $378M.

This one references the main article, but it's behind a WSJ paywall.

Minnesota ranks 15th

Yeah I’m going to call ******** on this

"Now ya see Elyjah that's why we think you're more of a country boy breakfast. All kinds of variety to your game and what you can offer."

 

[IUGradVol]

Certainly one of the more odd ones in this ranking.

 

[cncchris33]

Hot take.

Cracker Barrel sucks.

Huddle House way better lol

Flaming hot take, iyam. Huddle House is a homeless man's Waffle House.

And he'd be like "didn't you just walk across the street from that Huddle House?"

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Their calculations don't make any sense and are only based some public data they could find, which obviously isn't the entire picture. It's complete nonsense.

Bro ain’t no way hahaha

The recruiting trail has to be annoying for these coaches. Last spring Steven and Bruce were staying in my hotel in Cincinnati. Steven was driving daddy around in the rental car lol. Assuming that’s how he earns his pay.

Hey, I’m also very pro Waffle House!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Now that the dead period is over, we’ll see a flurry of visits, commitments and lists of a player’s potential destinations. It’ll inevitably be a ride with some euphoria and some disappointment. This is when many question the plan and the outcome. The coaches have proven that they’re good at this. We should be hopeful, but realistic. It’s a Wild West environment right now with the highest prices ever. We have support to be in lots of battles and reserves to meet unique opportunities. That’s been made clear to staff. It won’t always go our way. We’re the 33rd ranked basketball program in enterprise value, but we punch in the top ten. Because one guy is visiting and another is visiting somewhere else, it doesn’t mean we aren’t trying to get that player too. Nothing new this morning. Enjoy the ride. Keep the torches dry for now. Hopefully we’ll get some dudes and field another great team.

 

[omghulkhands]

Naw dog. Middlesboro doesn’t have a fine establishment like Huddle House.

They have a waffle king though. And uhh, it sure is something lol

I'd certainly hope so if you're willing to extol the virtue and values of that other slophouse.

 

[volfaninpa]

If Freeman ends up signing with UT, then I'll forever believe it was due to this meeting at Cracker Barrel.

I like hanging out with my own kind I guess.

I also dislike ihop fwiw. Starting to see a theme here lol

 

[Stoked]

So I say it’s pretty safe to say CRB is making Freeman a priority.

Rice
Freeman
Ament

All three seem to be our top targets atm.

Would make sense why Steven is so angry all the time, he's basically a nepo baby bitch

And you won’t be wrong.

All great salesmen know that Cracker Barrel is the Closer Barrel.

Be such a nasty team and probably our biggest team

Gillespie
Rice
Freeman
Ament
Okpara

with Carey off the bench is a dream.

Only downside to this lineup is no backup guard other than the freshman and I’d say with those 3 guys, we will be close to broke…if not we might have to get a 2nd job
