As excited as I am about Awaka’s and Aidoo’s potential, along with having Plavsic and his size — I am excited to see how good ON will be this upcoming season ? Prior to his injury , it was clear to me the light bulb had gone on for ON and I believe he is clearly our best big man to start next...
Aidoo’s presence on the defensive end, primarily shot-blocking and his long arms are impressive. But offensively he is very raw in all elements of the game. Coach Barnes and his staff have a lot of work to do, teaching fundamental low post footwork to Jonas. If he’s committed to putting in the...
Btw one additional comment on Awaka , his ability to use the glass around the basket is an under utilized trait for under-sized post players against bigger players. I am fired up about this young man.
I love this Kid. His footwork is amazing for a young post player. He can pivot to his left or his right. This kid is a player. If he can hit free throws Awaka will be a quality player here. This is a quality addition to the roster. All the Rick Barnes haters are going to eat crow on this one !!!
Coach Barnes believes this scrimmage should be a teaching tool for the coaching staffs and he feels obligated to honoring the news blackout that has been in place for years regarding these scrimmages. I love it when info leaks out but Barnes takes it personally when news leaks out and has for...
Tyndall got caught cheating at Morehead State. He was on a staff that was accused of cheating at LSU and he got caught cheating as the head coach at Southern Miss. These aren’t isolated incidences. As the Great Popeye would say, “He am, what he am !!!”
Tyndall never accepted responsibility for his actions. He smeared the names and reputations of his assistant coaches when he got caught. He is a scummy individual
Tyndall is a liar and a cheat. He deserves to banned from the sport. Initially when Tyndall was under investigation, he pointed the finger at one of his previous assistant coaches for turning him in— which turned out not too be the case. This article is such crap !!!
Knoxville Catholic was eliminated last night in the State Semifinals. I was told Tamba has told his Catholic teammates he is reclassifying and is headed to UT. Again this is 2nd hand info but I trust the source.
I know Vol fans are hurting right now, so please don’t take this personally but Victor Bailey is very loose with the ball and he doesn’t pass the ball well enough to play PG. I still think Vescovi is our best option at the PG— even though he has some limitations.
We need to remember last...
My friend who is close to the Knoxville Catholic program says Tamba will not reclassify, he needs the extra year of development. Against Bearden High school this week Tamba finished with 22 points 12 boards and 6 blocks. My friend compares Tamba to former Vol Big man Reggie Johnson.
Vol freshman...
Knoxville Catholic beat Hamilton Heights Saturday afternoon 54-47. I am repeating 2nd hand stats from a friend but 2022 PG BJ Edwards finished with 24 points, 9 assists and 8 Rebounds. Catholic's 7-0 Junior Big man H. Tamba finished with 12 PT's, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. Catholic's Sophomore...
