What exactly is Rice waiting on, anyways? Is his agent doing agent things?

Should I speed dial him and ask?

We recruited him aggressively out of HS and were in a main group, had NBA academy connection, kicked the tires again when he entered the portal and then never heard anything but guessing that injury was a concern

Cool, thanks. Weird that we recruited him aggressively out of high school and he ended up at Grand Canyon. Looking at his numbers, he seems like a bit of a volume scorer. Wonder how that translates and if he could up his %s with less attempts in a more structured role.

Again, if you can land one of those other guards like Aberdeen or Porter along with him, then I’m taking that over spending a majority of funds on just Rice all day long.

Wouldn’t be a bad haul because then you have solid depth from the bench.

Hypothetical

A. Rice and Chaikin

B. Miles and Aberdeen

I’m taking option B all day because of experience and actual solid depth.

I’d take option A personally

I’d honestly almost rather have Aberdeen than any single other guy on that list, just because of his championship experience and insane motor. Couple that in with him being fearless with looking for his shot and creating offense and I think he’d be the perfect Barnes guy.

What if Rice ends up with some sort of huge injury, then what are you doing

Can he transfer to an SEC school? If this has already been discussed…no one tase me.

A couple of posters have said the ‘no inter conference transfer’ rule only applies to football, which I think is correct and maybe only for the spring window, not sure. We’ve seen instances where players transfer within the conf in basketball, a la Aidoo, but I don’t know all the particulars.

It doesn’t apply to basketball, just spring football

Ament to be UT’s highest nba draft pick of all-time?

There is a good chance

 

[Tall_Vol]

Seen a couple of Nova accounts last night say Rice is a “done deal to them tomorrow”

Guess we will see today if he commits or not lol

That was supposed to happen Saturday.

Rice to Gonzaga was a "guarantee" Saturday, as well.

Those windows have closed.

He said wants to play for a winning team. If that's true, getting Ament was huge.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

This team is going to be better than last year if and when we get a good SG:

PG: JG vs ZZ
Rebounds - up
Offense - up
Defense - down

SG: ???

SF: Ament vs Mashack
Rebounds: up
Offense: up
Defense: down

PF: Carey vs Igor
Rebounds: up
Offense: up
Defense: up

C: addition of healthy JP will improve all areas, otherwise equal

He uhhh… played for Florida last season…

 

[TrippieRedd]

One of those many prediction accounts that have popped up this season.

Love the vagueness. Really going out on a limb there.


Edit: Nevermind, said “Looks good for Nova”

He’s on track to be TN’s 14th first round selection.

Tom Boerwinkle (4)
King (7)
Ellis (9)
Grunfeld (11)
Houston (11)
Haislip (13)
Reggie Johnson (15)
Knecht (17)
Tobias Harris (19)
Keon Johnson (21)
Grant Williams (22)
Ed Gray (22)
Jaden Springer (28)

Plus Gene Tormohlem (11 overall), but that was the 2nd round. 5 others were also picked higher than Springer, but not in the first round.

Right. So can he transfer to an SEC school? Football players can’t do that in the spring.

Basketball can

 

[sonofUT62]

Basketball can

Thank you

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN has had 57 players drafted. About a third of them played for Mears. Barnes has 8. Pearl only had Tobias and McRae. Cuonzo had Richardson and Stokes.

Gotcha, misread your question, that’s my fault. Yeah bball can in the spring. Not sure on late summer/fall window tho, it may be a thing then.
