I know this is a bit off topic, but does Baylor just have tons of “oil” money to be thrown at these kids?

They've got tons of that Chip & Jo "Fixer Upper" money

Here's my thing with Felix... if he's a defensive rim protector, he's already an upgrade over any one we had on roster last year. He's just 5 months older than JP so growth potential is still there if you want to see his offensive game improve. But if you bring in Dubar and then land Tyson and/or Igor the 5 spot is no longer someone that you need scoring 10+ every night.

So upgrade to Awaka in size, upgrade over Aidoo in rim protector (seriously played less minutes this year and almost had 20 more blocks than Aidoo 83 to 66). And with his ability to finish at the rim you really just need him to learn the pick and roll game with ZZ and he's got the potential to be a 10/8/2 guy all day.

Well. he has size and athleticism and does seem to be a pretty good rim protector. However, I doubt as a junior next year he will give you as much scoring as Aidoo, and he certainly doesn't have the low post back to the basket skills of Awaka. The limited video that I've seen shows no drop step, spin, jumphooks left or right, or fall away skills. I just feel like Tennessee has an elite program now with all the sweet 16, elite eight, and SEC championship success recently. And we put a player into the lottery too! With such an outstanding resume it seems like we should do better than just a lateral move at the 5 position. IMO, with the exception of UCONN we have as good or better sales pitch as anybody, including the blue bloods.

Things are starting to look up all of a sudden it appears!

 

[Shadowboxer]

Tyson is about to be our below the rim version of DK

 

[VolOnthePlains]

Tyson is about to be our below the rim version of DK

More than half his field goal attempts last season were 3’s

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than winning a recruit against UNC after he breathes the rarified air in Chapel Hill.

Deepest Vols team ever? (If we land Tyson and Lanier)

I say yes

 

[JRVOL11]

Deepest Vols team ever? (If we land Tyson and Lanier)

I say yes

granted, we been saying that about every team we’ve had like the past 3 years lol

I say yes

I really think Carr may break out next year, too. Confident, son of a former NBA player, no fear on the offensive side, long and should be a great defender.

???

True lol

On paper though, it really might be.

 

[CAVPUT]

AP says he’s closing to dropping 50 cent for Igor. Also confirms that we are visiting with Cade this week and he hasn’t committed to UNC, as well as confirms the upcoming Felix visit.

Translation??

 

[joevols89]

Translation??

Close to a lock

 

[Mikevol1964]

Translation??

I thought I was the only one who didn’t have a clue what that meant

 

[Jimmy Football]

Translation??

Subscriptions dropping to $9.49 in honor of Igor’s commitment.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Seems like as of right now things are looking good for Igor, Felix probably taking Awaka spot, and Tyson didn't commit to UNC and taking dinner with Barnes.

All good updates for Monday!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Folks….

Didn’t see AP’s post shared above, basically my general thoughts…looking good for Igor & Okpara, and Tyson isn’t a UNC lock and is giving us a legitimate chance.

About to get on a connecting flight to Seattle, any promising news before I board a long flight would be welcome!
