Begging to PLEASE move to quarters instead of halves. Having halves is so dumb, especially that they've, for some reason, stuck with it THIS long. Every other level of major US basketball has quarters.

I like the hire. I think he's another up and coming type of guy like Clark was when he was hired here. Like that he has ties to the southeast both being from Memphis and because of some of the smaller schools he coached at. Seems like a good relationships guy based on his recent recruiting track...

This isn't a bad question to have at all, but I do think Pons was pretty raw/new to basketball in general when he came to UT if I'm remembering correctly. Massamba doesn't seem to be that way, and as another poster also pointed out, Massamba has played in the US some already too.

Aaaaand this thread is officially off the rails lol

The official Tennessee media release that just came out announcing his signing said he "battled through injury issues" at GT.

Been trying to find why, but the handful of articles I've been able to find talking about him entering the portal from GT or committing to LA Tech don't even list a reason. They all basically just say that he seemed promising but only ended up playing 10 games and only a handful of minutes in...

Funny enough, according to KenPom, Abram played primarily at the 3 for Tech this season and even occasionally as a very undersized 4 because their roster was just really small overall. They routinely went 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 (Abram), 6-5, and 6-11 as their five.

Nice, not mad about it, especially if we also can get the Frenchman. Would be a great competition at the 2 with two different styles

Don't know if it's him or not, but if it is...meh. We could definitely do worse, he's pretty good from three. But I won't be doing backflips, like the potential of our Frenchman better.

Sure man, sign me up, I'm all for rooting for a guy named Zrno who can shoot the hide off the ball

That's all well and good if things like that were done in a vacuum and players and coaches didn't have emotions and biases. Throwing money around at anyone and not properly evaluating their personality and fit with a team (or how their "camp" fits with the program) is one of the best ways to...

To be fair, I think Duke only has like 5 or 6 left from this season, which isn't much more than our 4 lol. They had several declare early for the NBA, obviously, which we haven't had. All of UT's were because they exhausted eligibility.

Will be interested to see if CKC's system will be the key to getting Wolfenbarger closer to her Arkansas production. If nothing else, she's a good rebounder who will be a big improvement for our post depth from what we had this past season, IMO

*sigh* against my better judgment, my hopes are now up slightly. I blame the way that 247 article was written.
