Basically, team defensive systems and coaching matters a lot. Combined with legitimate effort to improve. I’m not worried about the defense in a RB era UT team.
We’re not finding an All-SEC 2nd Team replacement in the portal. And Awaka would not be All-SEC next season.
He had a bad end to the season which sucks but Aidoo > Awaka still. This year and next.
I’m in the minority here I think, I want Awaka to stay but I’d also not be overly upset if he left. I like our young, albeit unproven, talent in the post and while we’d definitely be thin for depth inside I feel like the upside is still there. Of the 4 posts I think Awaka has the lowest ceiling...
I think I'm one of the few that think Bronny could be a really good college player, not a star, but a contributor on a high level team. I don't think his Dad was much of a problem at USC or his popularity. I highly doubt it would be any worse at UT. Obviously, if we don't ever reach out to him...
Maintained my small position throughout the draught. About back to my original investment. We'll see how it holds. I'm happy to leave it there for a few years.
I see him out of the lottery but still a decent take in the 1st round. A Duncan Robinson type role if he evolves more as a ball handler (and that just means he needs to be credible with the ball in his hands, not point-godlike).
