Damn, whats with all the hate on North Carolina? I'm a huge TN fan but I live and Charlotte and honestly find NC to be a great place to live. Don't really go to Chappell hill very often, but athletics aside, UNC is a very good school (academically).

Anyway, still hope Juke picks TN.

It is a great school academically , Rasheed Wallace even made good grades there.

This morning Vols had the 7th best odds on Kalshi to win the 2027 Natty. They now have the forth best odds. May mean nothing but good inside info does move those markets…

You may have just put up the most interesting post of the day. I'll remember it if anything, ahem, big happens tomorrow.

Wonder if there’s a world where TT is waiting to the very end as a gift to Vandy? To allow them to continue to build a “roster” before he leaves? Showing one last strand of loyalty and benefiting them by waiting until the last moment. Even though it will ultimately hurt Vandy with him leaving, they’re signing “decent” players in the meantime. It’d be a jerk thing to do personally to other players who signed but benefit Vandy for the upcoming season. Just a thought; doubt that’s how it’s playing out but popped in my head.

I had thought about this with the fundraising video

No, he is not anymore. He was out of the lottery in bleacher report’s latest.

Bleacher Report is terrible. They still have Braylon Mullins in the top 10, and he’s announced he’s coming back to college. Ament is top 10 in ESPN, Yahoo, NBA.net, Tankathon, The Ringer. Top 12 at CBS and SB Nation.

I don’t believe Ament is going after Karim Lopez or Aday Mara.

The thing for me is that he’s only that low because the top of this draft is LOADED. He would have been top 5 most years and would very likely be top 5 next year. The difference between 10 and 5 is literally millions of dollars per year so his agent has some math to do. It’s not a slam dunk economics decision

The difference between 5 and 10 is $2.5 million per year. But there’s more to it than that. I know it’s been hashed and re-hashed. NIL absolutely makes the decision different than in the past. But I believe he will get more attention as a pro than a college player, and the development comes just as quickly. You either have it or you don’t to be a pro. If you are guaranteed top 12, then you pretty much go.

Maybe, not likely, but maybe, Ament looks at the roster being put together and thinks to himself, "that looks like fun", and decides to come back for one more year.

Question, Juke Harris is flirting with the draft as well, isn't he? Does that mean it could be a few weeks before we hear anything on him, too?

That was me. And yes- the haircut evidence shows that video was made sometime before the NCAA tournament.

But that's the way it goes with media. Things are planned and filmed well in advance and then released on the intended date. Its likely that he may have even forgotten about making it or the media team that posted it didn't know he was thinking about the portal.

But we shall see...

Thought popped up for me then too but didn’t someone prove that video was recorded a while back due to haircuts but just posted recently?

I was thinking he could have waited so that they could use him to get more money from donors before he left if he was going to as a sign of loyalty
