I have no doubt Rex had his pockets lined regularly, but that $700k number seems exaggerated. Deandre Ayton (Arizona) was getting $10k/month just a few years back and he would be much more valuable than Rex. I suspect that figure is half a million too high for that timeframe.

Fulmer was a great coach in most every facet required. Really unfortunate he didn't get a 2nd BCS trophy in 2001. There will never be a coach to put a better team on the field than he assembled from 1998ish - 2003ish. AD Fulmer is below average by anyone's assessment I imagine. Fulmer bleeds...

It has to be so demoralizing to play as well as Auburn did and watch one man beat you.

Knecht is better than Lofton, Grant and Houston, imo. I didn't get to watch Bernard King play, but I think there has to be a fair discussion Knecht is beside him. With that said, it's really hard to argue Knecht is more deserving than Edey. Both guys are equally important to their teams and...

I don't think we have to worry about Aidoo turning pro. I would be surprised if he can ever land on a NBA roster. However, I could see another program recruiting him if we don't give him a decent enough NIL deal.

Who all do we have participating? Milton/Wright/Castles/Hadden I'm guessing? I don't think we have anybody who will really show out at the combine this year. I have hopes Hadden will perform well and improve his stock the most of that group of names.

I have to admit I wasn't very excited when we hired Barnes. I was skeptical of many things. Barnes proved me wrong about every concern I had. Congratulations to the best thing to happen to UT Basketball in my lifetime. Now, let's go get you some additional hardware for that trophy case!

Who was the better recruiter? Trooper Taylor knapsack or Kiffin Hostesses?

For much of my life I wanted us to hire Buzz Williams. Love his energy and level headedness. He's a bit too direct and emotional at times, but his kids always compete.

Sure, the player doesn't have to opt in for $600. However, Bru, and most of our roster, don't have the leverage to say no in hopes of an "ambassador" offer. Those holding out in hopes of $20k Madden'esque paydays are likely going to be staring at their # while playing NCAA instead of their...

Must be trying to manufacture some witnesses. Unsure why a couple of those players were really even charged otherwise.

Isn't every NCAA football player receiving $600 to be in the game? Fairly certain I read an article alluding to such recently.

Computers favor us by 11. Unless there is an injury I am unaware of we should be favored by double digits.

No game is really a must win game in the offseason. However, if you lose to any of Oklahoma, Arkansas or Kentucky, then it's going to be hard to run through Georgia, Florida and Bama to have what most would consider a successful season. NC State game is the one I have circled we need to get...

Somehow the SEC just gets deeper with each passing year. How long is Antigua expected to miss?
