How old is he as Awaka is 19?

Awaka is 20, birthday was in January.

Felix is 20, birthday was yesterday.

Having a 6’10 and 6’11 guy in the lineup is gonna be so exciting to watch.

Just to illustrate how good Aidoo was:

Flexi Okpara
24 MPG 6.6 PPG 6.4 RBG 0.5 AST 58.6% FG

Jonas Aidoo
25 MPG 11.4 PPG 7.3 RPG 1.0 AST 51% FG

Massive drop in production, even though Okpara would be a nice pick up.

To be fair JA is take double the amount of shot...if they both took the same amount FO would average more points..JA also has roughly 20 games more then experience..

Other schools getting commitments while VN be like...

Not many guys are going to be attracted to backing up a likely front runner for the Cousy award.

I was hoping someone was content to be the man next year, not necessarily an instant impact guy. Next year we're gonna hopefully land the impact guy. ZZ will leave a huge hole. So far we've done well at finding new guys for the position, but we've never got much depth there it seems. Maybe Boswell will be ready in a big way for 2025.

The weed is always greener on the other side of the fence, isn't it, TR ?

Any insight to the JA rumors? And do you think he is looking to develop more into a stretch 4 then a down low big ?

 

[onfocusgovols]

Someone check on @onfocusgovols?!?

Seen ig already, old news. Ur point?

 

[walkenvol]

Except he very rarely finishes with authority, misses bunnies and gets his shot blocked before he can lay it in

Not true - Awaka consistently finishes in the post

kinda depends on which 6'10 or 6'11 guy it is, no?

Awaka is 20

In a Barnes interview, Barnes stated Awaka turned 18 after he arrived in Knoxville his freshman season. If so, he’s still 19.

He’s 20, though.

He’s 20. He turned 18 in January during his senior year of high school.

Igor taking too long. What's the hold up?

It’ll be good. Don’t know when we hear anything, but we will be alright.

Felix Okpara is going to visit TN on Tues. There are steps they have to go through before they can actually sign him but it’s a done deal!! Go VOLS

He's from Africa but he was adopted in TN by two parents who went to the University of Tennessee.

Yeah no doubt...I was deff wrong about Saint Thomas and my buddy was wrong too who confirmed that info - he used to be spot on haha... I don't think I'm wrong about Felix Okpara... Hopefully I'm not wrong about Chaz Lanier haha

You sure like to give others a hard time when you've been wrong already yourself

 

[onfocusgovols]

You sure like to give others a hard time when you've been wrong several times already yourself

I am new in here so I can see why they giving me a hard time... So I get it being a new voice coming in... But it does seem like he thrive off others being wrong like there's something for him to gain off that ish

Don’t tell him about the supposed bones under Neyland Stadium.
