He's out of eligibility barring a 5th year and was considered a huge bust at Texas Tech during his stay there when he transferred up from Gardner-Webb. He averaged 3 points a game in his first season there and then only played in 7 games in his second, before he transferred back down to High Point. Those were his junior and senior years at Tech, he's a grad student playing at High Point.

Malachi Davis looks like he has potential, 6'4 175, (plus he's from Canada and Barnes loves him some Canucks). He's not a great long range shooter but he's a scorer. Averaged 17.7/3 reb/3ast as a sophomore this season, scored 19 vs Ole Miss and 12 vs Missouri, 17 against Air Force and 31 against Charlotte. He had multiple 30 point games this year.

Honest question? Is there a way to just get a notification for certain peoples posts? @Stoerner Fumbles is all i care about reading. Over half these other posts are terrible.

Don't know how it works, but isn't that what "Follow" is for?

Alright let’s have it, how much is SF paying you?

Probably paying him in free 'insider' information

eitherneitherandorprobablynotbothmaybenoone

Albeit encrypted, information like this can be invaluable this time of the year.

 

[TrippieRedd]

At least we can still see names pop up over the next 48 hours or so

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Low estimate.

I’m an expert at TurboTax.com

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Are we getting anybody?

 

[hUTch2002]

His NIL was totally separate from the others.

My inside sources (the voices in my head and the weird guy that stares at me when I’m in the bathroom) say this is correct.

It’s been said in this thread by SF and also reported by Ben McKee on the 247 pod.

What an absolute mess college sports has become. The absolute insanity in the month of April alone is unbelievable. I don’t foresee any guardrails coming soon to even make a dent in addressing the flaws of greed, selfishness, and constant turmoil.

Kind of volume shooterish, imo at least, 45# efg% is not good. Can’t shoot from 3 and was like 40% from 2 in a very bad league, not sure how much I see improvement happening.

Where in the world are our insiders tonight?

Legion?

That is kind of scary. Inefficiency is the enemy to production. We’ve got to find a reasonably good shooter that can make teams pay for leaving them open.

Barnes has already said that Boswell has finally figured it out and is coming on strong.

Hadn't read this. Hope it's true. Personally, I'd rather have a more physically mature player with experience, because our history with the 5 star types is kinda unimpressive. Having said that, I won't lie....yeah, I'm a bit hypocritical here...but Darius Adams being out there and us having some money to spend....man, it's so tempting. Maybe I can call on some outside influences?

First, being smart with money at 20 years old isn’t easy. Second, people still want to work and make more money. There are plenty of people who could retire but still put in work and make more money. Everyone always wants more.

I don't expect you to confirm but I have family with the name Gee. Originally from the D.C. area but plenty all over the country and the pocket that I am closely related to built their lives/careers in Knoxville after moving there in early 1950s. Probably not your last name but all your posts remind me of family and home.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Feels like there should be someone who would be willing to get a starting 2 guard spot and take vols money

 

[gainesvol82]

Then it’s in the bag!

But which bag is it in? Is there a bonus if I get it right when opening the first bag? Conversely, is there a penalty if I open the wrong bag(s) first?

What if there is some confusion and I have to clearly explain "That's not my bag baby"? Great, now I'm stressed and need a xanax.

 

[DocVol]

This transfer nonsense is nauseating. If TN wasn’t having an all-time run of success right now I’d have a hard time staying interested.

Imagine DeVoe in the portal era. That would be ugly.

Jerry Green would’ve loved it

It is my last name. In hindsight, I would probably not use it, but I’ve had it for about 25 years since I was originally on VolQuest.

While I did attend UT, I don’t know of any family from DC or Knoxville. My extended family was all from Texas. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some connection many years ago.

 

[gainesvol82]

Cade Carey & JP are not unknowns.
The only unknown is will they all stay healthy & will JP be 100%? If Estrella is we have a good go to offensive threat down low with great touch. All the Vol fans know what Carey can do - no excuse to say he's an unknown. Putting those numbers up as a sophomore big in the SEC & against TN is impressive. And to say Cade is unknown is not a shared opinion by many. Cade when healthy is a continued progress in the right direcXanax.

Cade's potential is way undersold. He is VERY strong for his age/weight. He will always be lean but will continue to add mass and strength. The main two areas of focus for him need to be developing post moves and depth on his jumper.

Cade has a good looking shot and great touch for a big. He could develop into a reliable threat to stretch the floor more which puts his ceiling at being drafted and raises UT's ceiling immensely. He already is tough, athletic, aggressive, rebounds, passes very well and plays within himself. Add a reliable jumper (preferably with 3pt range) and he's a stud. We will see if he can.

 

[RikidyBones]

Yeah, I’m on board with Griffin solely becuase of his size.

Twss

This guy entered last night, wouldn’t hate it…



55% from the field (ranked 4th on UT)
39.1% from deep, but just 2 attempts a game (ranked 4th 2nd on UT)
62.9% from 2, on 4.1 attempts a game (ranked 4th 2nd 2nd on UT)
61.5% EFG% (rank 2nd on UT)
7.5 bpm (rank 6th on UT)



Obviously he’s bigger, 6’7” 210lbs, so probably not playing any 2 for you, but he could definitely play some 3 and some small ball stretch 4.

Give me him and his teammate transfer Desmond Claude. Needs filled
