If Boo Carter and Edwin Spillman are the impact players I think they can be this year, this defense will easily be the best of Heupel’s tenure.

The Knoxville Knicks

After what we lost, and to keep things in balance, I prefer another top notch defender to another shooter. That is if we do land the other three guys I mentioned. Jmo But yes, I am by no means counting on Gainey. I think he should see fewer minutes this year, and could easily see Carr playing...

I like Lanier, but if we add Dubar, Tyson and Milicic we will have enough shooters. Especially with ZZ, Carr, and Gainey still here. Adding Gayle makes more sense, and would be a better fit imo. Big physical guard who can penetrate, score, pass and play good defense. Plus he has multiple...

Possible we snag running back Damian Martinez from Oregon State? Would be a huge pickup.

That would be a good get with Dubar and Lanier.

Are Dubar and Lanier decent on defense? Anyone know?

Yes, he does seem to have a bit of Butch Jones in him.

I think it could be difficult to beat out Mashack, but if we get Lanier I fully expect Gainey’s minutes to go down. They may lessen anyway with Carr getting more minutes. I still think Gainey has a role on this team, but on a great team, ideally, he is more like the 8-10th man more so than the...

We could also start Mashack at the 3, Thomas at the 4, and bring Dubar off the bench depending on the matchup. Looks good.

Get Chaz Lanier and Saint Thomas and we’re good. Darlinstone Dubar and Thiero from Kentucky are good choices as well. The kid from Belmont who shoots lights out from deep, another solid option. I’m not as excited about McCollum as some of you are. He’s not strong enough, and doesn’t shoot the...

For the ones saying we’re not going to find a PG to come play backup to ZZ. We’re not looking for a pure point guard. We’re looking for a combo guard who can spell ZZ a few minutes a game. Someone with better point guard skills than Gainey, but can shoot the lights out and play the 2. That man...

That’s where I’m at as well. Although, Darlinstone Dubar would be a nice get too.

I would guess Saint Thomas, Chaz Lanier, and Malik Dia are the guys he may be referring to. That is my hope anyway.

The further we move the past, the stronger I feel that bringing Bruce Pearl back to Knoxville to finish his career wouldn’t be the worst thing. My feelings have done a complete 180 the past six years. Probably not going to happen though. It would need to be within the next two years if so.
