It’s gotten to the point that I just don’t care. Just let me know who’s lining up opening day and we’ll go from there. No sense worrying about it till then. And even then it’s hard to care as much as I used to. Cheering for a bunch of mercenaries is losing its luster quickly.

Hard to convincingly say you don't care when you're posting on a message board about it at this very moment

Ok - can you explain it to us? Genuinely do not understand then.

-- He has to enter the portal in this two week period.

-- Other PG targets are communicating and visiting and committing to programs right now.

-- the NBA combine is in early mid-May.

Let's say he just decides to go to the NBA, aren't we up a creek at PG?

Yes you’re correct, he’d still have to enter the portal in the next two weeks. That way he can withdraw from the draft after the combine in may. We’re talking to other portal PGs, not an all our eggs in one basket situation.

Recruiting is fluid

Can’t blame Estrella in the slightest for looking out for his earnings and career potential. I don’t know if May will actually develop a big guy better than Barnes, but nonetheless. Not a true Vol, though.

However, and this isn’t a slight toward Estrella and his skills (I truly think he would have made a leap this year), I’m surprised the defending national champion with bucks deluxe needs to get a guy who posted a 7/7/0 stat line in the biggest game of his life. Seems like there are stronger targets.

I'm a bit suprised too that he seems to have been a priority for them, but that's why I cut him some slack. It isn't just that the defending champions wanted you, but they prioritized you and made a larger offer than your current school. They must see something in his style of play that they feel they can better utilize and sold him on the idea.

Most players are jumping at that opportunity. He also is from Maine, so I don't take it as much slight when he isn't loyal to the brand. That is something that must be considered when recruiting guys far away.

They missed on better options it sounds like. I see about 10 to 15 post players in portal that are better players.

So...do we take the next pg that wants to hop on, or do we wait? How does that work?

Maybe other coaches are poaching players from TN and making them more productive offensively.

I’ll hang up and listen.

Barnes has been to three straight Elite 8’s, yet you continue to take unnecessary shots at the guy like he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Your sh*t is old.

Find new material.

Really hope we don’t regret letting Estrella walk and not paying him. I just have been so high on him since we got his commitment, and Dusty May’s recent track record with post players seems to suggest we may be undervaluing Estrella.

I have a feeling he’s going to crush it next year.

You keep missing my point. I do not care 😂 he is still soft and a fake 😂

And you don't understand how silly your take is which is why I'm ignoring it. CRB was prepared to pay him over $2 MM...some reports said our final offer was $2.5 MM. CRB ain't paying that much $$$ to a "soft" or "fake" player nor is MI who is paying $3+ MM so just stop the nonsense.
