Zakai Zeigler suing for 5th year

[butchna]

I would wonder if St John’s could be one, but I know they brought in the guy from UNC

Why? Cuz Queens? He’s a Tennessee native now.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Quick thought..

Zeigler 30/Abram 10
Gillespie 30/ Abram 5/Gainey 5
Gainey 25/Evans 10/Ament 5
Ament 25/Carey 15
Okpara 25/Estrella 15

Bench: Phillips, Boswell, Henderson, Massamba, Brown

Personally think Gainey is best suited as 6th man and Ament starting 3 with Carey at 4.

Personally think Gainey is best suited as 6th man and Ament starting 3 with Carey at 4.

Definitely possible

 

[Doctrippin]

NBA is definitely closed to him, but I don't know about G league, and I wonder if he could play in Europe

 

[Doctrippin]

Other guys have gotton 5 years without having to sue, like Carson Beck. The rules just don't make any sense

 

[OrangeInKy]

Why? Cuz Queens? He’s a Tennessee native now.

Because there were rumors that Pitino wanted him, that’s why. He’s a Tennessean. You’re only native to the state you’re born in. Besides, the discussion was about the very remote chance he played somewhere other than here.

Imo 0% chance Phillips will be benched. No matter who else we have on our team He's in the rotation

Let players play 4 years and then move on. Nothing against ZZ, but this play for eternity in college needs to stop.

5 years is not an eternity dude----find another excuse

 

[BruisedOrange]

Tennessee--the university, the state, and players--are in full court press (ahem) to force the powers-that-sometimes-be to clean up the mess that college sports has become.

They are forcing the issue in every direction and unmasking the obvious--we will offer pay to play, with no games or fiscal semantics. Tennessee is stating reality and forcing it to be dealt with. I see ZZ's suit as more of the same.

 

[Ryno14]

I'll be a ZZ fan no matter where he goes*.

* offer excludes other SEC schools, Memphis, and Ohio State

What about Purdue? Can they be on this exclusion list too

 

[The Original Fade]

Play 4 years, grow up, get a job, and move on. It’s called adulthood and high school athletes deserve a shot to play who are talented enough without selfish guys like Z refusing to let go

Oh geez, yes. Bad miss on my part.

[RyanWalkerPGH]

I think Basilio knew through Marcos Garza this was coming and that’s why he suddenly did a 180 on ZZ seeking a 5th year.

"Selfish guys like Z"...that's an incredible string of words. I'm sure you'd walk away from a million dollars or more at age 22 in the name virtue for the oppressed 18 year old coming behind you. The wisdom and foresight you must have had at such an age.

I hope that Cade’s shooting 1,000 free throws a day in the off season. And several hundred turnarounds from about 10-12 feet.

you suck

 

[The Original Fade]

Y’all are only happy because it benefits Tennessee in the moment.

Cool. Nice talk. Go away.

You’ll change your tune if we make a final four.

Yep

 

[Col_Cathcart]

5 years has applied to the last 4 classes and will apply to all future classes. This is literally only about this moment.

Quick thought..

Zeigler 30/Abram 10
Gillespie 30/ Abram 5/Gainey 5
Gainey 25/Evans 10/Ament 5
Ament 25/Carey 15
Okpara 25/Estrella 15

Bench: Phillips, Boswell, Henderson, Massamba, Brown

IMO..

Zeigler 30/ Gillespie 10
Gillespie 20/ Gainey 20
Ament 25/ Gainey 5/Abram 10
Carey 20/Phillips 10/Ament 5
Okpara 20/Estrella 10/Phillips 5

I could also see Evans, Massamba, or Brown potentially taking somebody’s minutes.

I don’t think Ament plays much 4 until the closing minutes when we want our best 5 on the floor which would obviously be Zeigler, Gillespie, Gainey, Ament, and pick a 5 man who has the hot hand.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Simple question…

Why should Devan Cambridge or Myles Stute be getting an extra year and Zeigler shouldn’t? Both have played more career games.

Slightly off topic but didn’t LSU have a player with the last name of Cesar that played for six years in college during the 90? I may be misremembering.

Y’all are only happy because it benefits Tennessee in the moment.

It benefits literally everyone. The list of players who have already benefitted from the idea and spirit of this lawsuit is pretty lengthy. Tennessee doesn't have exclusive rights to the benefits of this happening.
