The problem is that you can’t develop if you don’t get minutes in real games.
Cade will be a junior and he will be out transferred twice. 1st with Igor and then with Carey. If JP didn’t get hurt , he might’ve transferred last year.

Cade will be a RS soph but your point still stands

JP wasn't hurt in the offseason, though. So Cade seemed content with his role heading into last season.

He’s random right? lol I still don’t know who to trust on this board. I’ve only heard SF…who else?

To put you at ease, “2pm” is a joke that originated with Lance Heard’s recruitment. It was due to a similar unfulfilled commitment time prediction.

I know there’s concerns over Ament being skinny but you can’t turn away a potential NBA Top 5 Draft pick.

Not to mention he has time to put on some weight before the season starts.

We've seen before and after of Grant, Admiral, ZZ, Mashack, etc. Please let this guy come.

Cade will be a JR. He played in 13 games as a freshman, including 3 SEC games and the NCAAT win vs St. Peters.

He honestly should have redshirted that season, would have been great to have him as only a RS soph. But of course nowadays I know players can leave at any notice too so I don’t know how much it matters

He'll get more wide open looks with Jakobi. Why do you think Rice shot it so well. Rice won't get thise open looks at Niva and his game will suffer because of UT. Remember guys Jakobi can sxorein bunches, but he's a pass first PG. Rice's game will suffer because of that.

Didn't everyone expect the same for Vescovi with Knect drawing so much attention?

Ament to Vols

Being reported on Twitter

If you want a good laugh... go look at these UK fans saying they didn't want Ament anyways because he's too skinny lol. Also I guess they have amnesia and forgot about that beatdown they took from us in the tourney.

Also Tayshaun Prince was about the same size as Ament and he did just fine in the big bad SEC that they're talking about.

I think he was got hurt in September... but yeah, it might've been more because Awaka and Aidoo not coming back. With transfer coming in he probably felt he could at least beat out one of them for minutes. With Carey coming in, I think he's starting to realize it's time to move on.

Cade didn't redshirt as a freshman in large part because all of his teammates said that they needed him and what he brought to the team. His aggressiveness & so forth stood out, his teammates mentioned this early that season.
Also something stuck out to me when I interviewed Cade Phillips right after he committed, he mentioned that he's coming to Tennessee to start. He has full belief in his ability to impact the team and everywhere he has been he has been a winner.

Those of you that is saying he is being out recruited when it comes to our commitment from Vandy - I would hold the brakes right there. I would not be surprised to see them both get the same amount of minutes or close to it. Cade is a competitor & wants to contribute to winning & the coaching staff knows this. He will earn his and nor be buried on the bench, I bet all my basketball knowledge on that

Yes, preserving eligibility for the sake of the program is a thing of the past it seems unless the player is requesting it. And if the 5-yr rule passes, redshirts will be eliminated altogether.

Prince was "just a guy" as a freshman , though. Averaged like 6 points and then blossomed as a SO. Listed at 215 lbs...I'm not sure when that weight was official, but it's 30 lbs heavier than Ament, which is significant and their height and weight. Hopefully Ament manages the physicality and/or adds 20 lbs this offseason.

Redshirting as a freshman has not been a "sake for the team" situation for the Vols lately. Every freshman that starts out redshirting has ended up transferring away - the last examples of this was just last year with DJ Jefferson redshirting & Freddie Dilione coming in a year early sitting.

I just doubt that Cade would have benefitted from redshirting & I doubt that the Vols would have benefitted from it either

IMHO, a healthy JP > Carey.

How are we feeling about rice? Nova fans in trilly’s discord seem to have a lot of confidence that he commits to them this weekend.
