All good, just read the article before posting. No where does it mention that Nova leads. It’s an opinion piece. He mentions several schools rice would do well at, and actually ends the article by saying Tennessee and Kansas are the two schools he would make the most sense going to. Click bait with a misleading headline, not your fault. My bad for being a smart ass

No problem man. I really appreciate the fact that you are man enough to apologize which I can't remember the last time I recall a poster doing. So thank you. We are all Vol fans and want nothing but the best for Tennessee athletics and can't understand why so many people are so quick to attack another man /woman on here and not even know that person. It seems like several posters sit back and read others posts only to critique their choice of words or who their source is and by doing so they make a little joke and people give them likes but those same people hardly ever post anything of interest or of importance that is relevant to the topic being discussed. Some people have too much time on their hands. But fwiw, I apologize for not reading the article thoroughly before posting. I just try to stay on top of things involving UT and enjoy sharing the info. But I'm guilty of being human and jumping the gun. I'm actually happy to know that the tweet was from yday and about someone else bc I really hope we get Rice.

OK. Ur a funny guy!! U want a like for that? It's sad that most posters on here get likes because they sit and critique everyone else's post. They get likes only bc they try so hard to make a joke out of another individuals posts. Look,if you want a like, do some research, acquire some knowledge preferably about UT sports, and then feel free to share your opinion or idea. Until then, quit trying so hard to be funny especially on behalf of someone else. I'm not the one!!

Here is the source. So before you start making little comments about people you don't know maybe you should do your research before you start talking. I'm not that guy who just jumps on here to ramble and stir crap. I assumed he would commit soon with what I gathered and read but the article says the rest. I don't get on here very often except for transfer portal season and recruiting season for football and basketball. But when I do post something of such importance, It's certainly not gonna be from something that I just thought up inmy mind. And I'm sure we have all posted things that we misread or took the wrong way but I don't post fake news unless it's from a source and I wasn't aware it was fake.

Sometimes you need very thick skin to be on the board.

I’m glad it got straightened out, but I actually didn’t see a smart ass response. Chris just asked about the insinuation of Rice playing PG. Others just made jokes that weren’t mean spirited. What am I missing?

Wtf does this even mean?

Simply means they feel really good about their chances to land him without Ament actually having committed. Doesn’t mean he will commit, just means they think things are trending well and that the staff has done everything they can in reason to secure his commitment. At least that’s how I read it.

We are having a legitimate conversation with Ament and his agent. It’s a real thing, but he’s been working this for weeks with others. Some developments made him rethink where he wants to be. Rice is a real probability too. The McNeely loss woke up some people to the reality that the market is different, and we’ll move faster and more deliberately to get this wrapped up. I can’t talk about anyone’s health. I said as much as I can say on that topic. Obviously there’s concern given the moves they’re making.

These waiting periods aren't uncommon, and it doesn't mean anyone's lollygagging. Both Knecht and Lanier were in the portal for about a month before committing. Rice for example only entered the portal just over 2 weeks ago. These upper tier players are in great demand and have a lot of good reasons to take the time they feel they need. That said I think there are also a lot of good reasons to trust CRB to secure a great portal class. I'm not an intel guy by any means, but everything that's out there in the public domain suggests we'll likely have a decision from Rice and Freeman in the coming few days and Ament within a couple weeks at most.
