CB for Juke Harris to Vols

I wonder if the Michigan insider's CB was more of a "he's not coming to Michigan" than certainty that he is going to Tennessee. I'm worried he goes to Chapel Hill.

I think a lot of the worry (from our side) was with English ending up at UNC

With English stepping away, I like our chances

English was the HC for George mason for an entire year before we even offered Juke. I believe Gainey was more involved in that recruitment

SI says with Hill signing that it almost guarantees Harris will go to UNC now. The argument is Tennessee’s backcourt has suddenly become crowded and UNC is offering more than Michigan therefore UNC is the only choice that makes sense for him now.

Who exactly at SI? A few years ago they fired everybody and started reposting Fansided content, so it's one of the Fansided sites on the lead on this.

SI is a trash rag now. Most people online have peddled this narrative without actually looking at our roster and the lack of depth we currently have. It’s not crowded at all. Harris has plenty of playing time available if he comes here unless the people at SI are expecting Marquis Clark or Manny Green to both play 15-20 MPG next year.

Looks like the writer is Logan Lazarczyk, who is a young journalism grad who has been covering UNC for Fansided. He has no sources (I don't think anybody actually has inside info on Juke Harris though) and cites a "process of elimination" for saying that Harris is likely to sign with UNC. The basis of that judgement is that we signed a guard and nobody from UNC is talking.

Can someone explain what a "CB" is for the uninformed?

In Singlish/Hokkien cb means Chee bye (or cheebai) which is basically fighting words. A suggestion one has smelly female nether parts. Used commonly in Singapore/Malaysia or online forums and Discord. It's roughly equivalent to the c word here, but sort of worse because it's smelly.

Hill has accepted the role of playing point based on how UT used Gillespie this past season. I'm sure UT discussed this during their in home visit with him (Juke). Heck, tell Juke we will rename TBA to Juke's Joint. You know he gotta come now.

Do we have a point guard for next year? That's the key position in Barnes' system.

Thanks, I'm sure I would never have learned that anywhere else.

I have never been an SI fan so I had no idea they had been corrupted by biased fan reporting. That’s crazy.

I wanted SI for my birthday, at 8, in 1979. My Mom, the saint that she was, got it for me and I had a subscription until I moved out, 11 years later. Btw, I was an only child raised by my Mom, only. So yes, I was spoiled. SI used to be awesome, but it is now, a sad facsimile of what it once was

It's not usually fan reporting, it's a company called Fansided. Basically an article mill, they pay per article and give more based on clicks. A lot of the writers are trained journalists, there's simply not a lot of work out there with publications like SI firing all their writers. The UNC writer in question has bounced around a bit, and he previously wrote about the KC Chiefs. The big problem is that you have to write a huge volume to make enough money to get by, so there's no time or money for research and the quality is very low.
