Lewis saw my post about ZZ and Gainey not having spots.

Had to pull the offer/visit from him.

 

[D3Athlete]

Good news on Rice?

Idk imo. Cuz Tennessee still needs a guard for depth piece off the bench

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Lol that was the quickest visit to cancellation in vols portal history.

I'm guessing they spoke and clarified what Tennessee wanted him for (bench player) vs what he wanted ( starter).

 

[CamVol8]

Tennessee: Hell yeah come visit this week brother

Passmore: Okay cool!

Tennessee: SIKE

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I love it when a solid prospect gets their offer pulled!!! grinch smile dot gif

 

[VolterWhite]

Passmore cancelled visit have anything to do with Rice maybe inform by staff he’s coming? @Stoerner Fumbles

 

[nateernst]

Saw somewhere that Rakease might be following his Ivy League cousin "go-to-classmore"

 

[VolHoopsInTheMix]

Who is Okparas brother?

Kennedy Okpara class of 2025 - likely a developmental take

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yes, thanks for actually answering my question. Barnes is paid the big $ to figure all that out and make everybody happy.

You also have to remember...13 player roster isn't going to have 13 guys playing 20+ mpg

IF we land all these guys I think we'll have 8 - 9 guys flirty with 20 mpg

200 minutes in a game...so even if 9 players all got equal minutes that'd be 22.2 a piece...here's the 9 I think will be playing near 20 (most minutes down to least)
Ja'Kobi
Rice
Freeman
Felix
Ament
Carey
Cade
JP
Passmore

Will get minutes...but inconsistently I think:
Bishop
Evans

Henderson & Brown likely RS candidates who we don't see much this season. I have Ament/Freeman higher because I think both can play the 3/4. Real question will be how fast is JP back up to full speed and will he be able to take minutes away from Carey/Felix.

Could be fastest in transfer portal history period.

Also, currently on Miami's campus. May have just decided to shut it down.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Rice, Freeman, Ament are the top 3 pieces...

Seems like a strong assumption we'll have 15 spots and can return 4 year seniors. So with or without Passmore we can get to 15 pretty quickly (ZZ, Gainey, Shack & Igor would all be eligible for a 5th year)

Good point.

Miami could’ve ended it

Remember Zeigler as a freshman? Who is to say Troy Henderson is not good enough to have impact as a freshman??? We don't know. Guards who sit as a freshman usually get in rotation as a sophomore , we have Bishop Boswell as another bench depth who can play and guard 1-3. Amari Evans is another depth bench piece who looks much more physically ready than most freshmen ànd much better defensively than most freshman.... a starting SG & SF are the two most important pieces we need right now

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Has Rice already visited USC? If so, any news about his commitment?

Lol right after I was getting on the hype train. That sucks.

 

[Geronimo]

Probably read this thread and saw half of the posters weren’t impressed with him. Decided to move on before it got more miserable.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Was his visit cancelled or just not set?

Mike Lewis just said he didn’t have one set.

I'm told Tennessee does not have a visit scheduled with Kansas guard Rakease Passmore at this time.

Passmore, a former four-star recruit, is on Tennessee's radar. But no visit is currently set.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

To be fair...who was the source saying Passmore was visiting?

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

To be fair...who was the source saying Passmore was visiting?

They’re talking. No visit scheduled, no visit canceled.

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Any news on Rice?

Thatsamore’

OK, Dino.

 

[OldVolMan]

This is a Duke and Tennessee battle. Seems like, as of now, it would be 50% Duke, 35% Vols, 10% Louisville and then the field

So 5% for “the field?”

Sad. I wanted to say Passmore Rice
