Aidoo is better than Okpara at this stage. Aidoo does not want to be here and Okpara does. Awaka does not appear to want to be here either. I think Okpara is more a combination of Aidoo and Awaka. I am very glad to have Okpara on our team. I am hoping that Igor commits also. I think Okpara fits...

Disagree. Spyre is quasi UT. UT somehow lets them know who is important and who is not. Spyre is not on an island making isolated decisions. Spyre is not offering someone that UT does not want. Do not know how it works. There has to be some type of communications. And with that Spyre can raise...

I do not know what the restrictions are if any. I do know that athlectic revenue has been used for parking garages and lots that help the entire university. Also remember previous administration funneling off athletic revenue for non-athletic projects. This ended up hurting the athletic...

Two of the 5 assistant coaches cannot recruit off campus

Sounds like multiple unrelated teams came after our players with extremely high offers. Each team is able to overspend for one player. If its just money, we have to out bid each team for our player. Assume we have a large collective however we were not prepared for players bringing their offers...

The University will make this easy on her. There is already an admin support staff in place. They will put her up in a hotel suite or university housing, take care of all meal expenses etc so that she can concentrate on getting recruits coming in and staff selected. Its probably easy for her...

Coach C is already in contact with recruits. She implied that at the press conference. She said that everyone is now replying to her text that did not answer her before. I bet she knows and has known who the elite players are. They just were not interested in Marshall. Just like when she went...

Spyre and Volunteer Club should be able to help you however most of the true full info will not be available to the public and only availale to large donors. I am sure that there is a way to donate to one sport or another if you are giving over a certain amount. I have seen posted that Spyre...

Unfortunately Awaka or Aidoo had to leave for Estrella to grow. At some point Estrella is the future and has more upside than either. Hopefully this allows Cade Phillips have some space at the 4. I think he is another Fulkerson.

"Swing for the fences" and "home run hire" are both wishful hope. Hope is not a plan. Most on this board is conjecture. History has shone that elite coaches rarely leave elite programs. Those coaches usually get raises and stay where they are. White has a history of finding the next coach. His...

The boosters/donors did not have confidence in Harper. Donors told White that if he made a change they would support NIL for Lady Vols Basketball. White got that commitment before he made the move.

What other big men are in portal?

Does this mean Aidoo stays?

Heard he was an All-American in practice however could not translate that to the court. Was hoping the he would stick it out. Hope is not a plan. Guess he did not like his meeting with Barnes. Unfortunately - he will figure it out somewhere else.

I would not count him out. UT has better nutritionist and allowabel drugs available to help him recover than you and I have access to. I would not start him however put him and and see what he has. We know he has heart.
