I’ve been saying i feel that way too. Keep hearing that he wants to be here and he’s close with Jakobi blah blah blah, but visits a new place out of the blue randomly.

Yeah this dude is looking for the best offer.

Couldn’t be anymore obvious.

I dont get the obsession with Rice.

Yeah, he's a good scorer but there's so many other options right now at the SG position that are just as good or even better

It's all about the right fit

14 pts a game with a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio, for a shooting guard is hard to beat, especially for a sophomore. Don’t let the drama deter you.

All our prayers are answered with CBM in the portal now. We HAVE to get him. What a class act and phenomenal player!

Bro, I know I am going to probably get dogged out for saying this, but I'd take him.
I'm not 100 % sure Barnes could change his attitude/make him grow up, but if anyone could I'd say Barnes could.
The guy can ball, and we could certainly use him at the 4.
I mean he's not a guy I would be actively trying to add or anything, just saying if he was available and we didn't have any other better prospects, I wouldn't be mad if he came here.

They were discussing on the Sports Animal that a NJ judge is expected to rule that the NCAA's 5 year is not valid and unenforcable. They suggested TN may wait and try to entice a guy that was previously out of eligibility that might not be a high draft pick to play another year of college ball for more money than they would get as a lower pick NFL player.

They were discussing football but this would apply to basketball too. I assume this would mean ZZ and Gainey would be back. Am I wrong here?

Antics and all dude can ball. I just question his fit with teams. Not every coach can or would want to deal with the tantrums, fingernail sprains and occasional stupidity on the floor. Same for players I’d say…

Just finished watching Elyjah Freeman playing 2 v 2 on his Instagram. He went live for anyone to watch with a title: "2's for a band" - I want him as a Vol, but some1 needs to tell that young man that as he's getting into the D1 / transfer portal lights he prolly shouldn't be promoting live that he's playing 2v2 for large stacks of money. Just not wise. I've never seen a Barnes player at TN do that.
Either way, aside from the extensive cursing & public promotion of hooping in the LMU gym for money, he did hit the game winner from beyond nba 3.
They were playing if you miss it then its the other teams ball, therefore, no need to follow your shot or box out, etc. I hate playing that way personally. His competition & the intensity will be turned up x3 in the SEC & with his teammates if he choses the VOLS.

He's got game tho. I can tell there will be tons of development that will happen as a Vol. Did anyone else watch this "2's for a band"

Okay, you tell me the 8 players I have mentioned because this like the second time you have Said this exaggeration. I haven't even named more than 5 players!!! I'm seeing you list a new roster for us daily bro!

The only time I named a player that averaged between those numbers was that Maximum kid

I was watching too. I took this screenshot from his live feed. Gotta be careful who you play 2v2 for stacks. Sometimes they go out to their car and come back with a pistol. Lots of scammers too.

He’s a cancer to any program he plays for. Unfortunate, but true.

So, is that Chaikin kid a backup for Rice?

Nova fans seem prettyyyyyy dang confident he’s going there.

I do wonder if we said cya to Rice and took some of that Nil and gave more to Ament, which is why we’re trending with Ament now.

In addressing your last paragraph, I doubt it. Insiders on here have stated that we have enough NIL for all of them, thanks to boosters pitching in. If anything, I would think Rice may have asked for more money to match offers from other schools, and we said no. Would really suck to lose him. We really could’ve used his scoring production and chemistry with JG.

Could be that Chaikin is a contingency, though.
