Who’s Avant?

R&B Singer from the early 2000s?

 

[VolHoopsInTheMix]

Still think we need a good basket getter from the 2 guard position …. Need scoring from that position

The year knecht played 3...vescovi averaged around 8points from sg... every year brings a different identity

Only getting 8 from SG was bad actually.

Yes but my point stands... it's not unrealistic expectations for us to see 8-10ppg this year at starting SG... The points will be higher at SF & PG & more post options as well. Just realistic expectations... If we got Rice I would have seen 12-14 at SG as a good bet...but Amaree is more glue guy type -he even said this...and Santi contributed to winning as another glue guy despite having a bad scoring year next to Knecht.

Who’s Avant?

Jason. Former Michigan receiver.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Probably wait until he scores a few points first, but works for me

After the first 3 drops


Le mamba français est en feu!

 

[hUTch2002]

Damn USC dropping a BAG this offseason... they have like 7-8.5 million tied up in 3 guys (Arenas, Rice, CBM)

For no one to really care, that’s what’s weird. Power to them though. It’ll be hilarious if they tear the Big 10 apart.

Who’s Avant?

Avant-Garde, i.e. "advance guard". New moniker for the Frenchman.

Yeah that’s exactly what I don’t want. If Vescovi didn’t suck that year, we probably go to a final four.

Let’s go!!

Is this Abram guy solid? Obviously we need some more firepower on the wing.

He’s solid, can get to the rim and shoot well. Better offensively than Mashack but not as good defensively. But yeah we do need more firepower on the wing…Gainey solves a lot of that but who knows what happens

 

[CamVol8]

1. JaKobi Gillespie
2. Amaree Abram
3. Nate Ament
4. Jaylen Carey
5. Felix Okpara
6. JP Estrella
7. Cade Phillips
8. Amari Evans
9. Bishop Boswell
10. Dewayne Brown
11. Troy Henderson

Roster would be perfect if you had Gainey or another legit 2 guard, then add Massamba. Would give us 4 big men who can play and a highly rated freshman in Brown.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Didn't like the last name Rice anyway.

Abram sounds more manly

Gainey deserves an extra year unlike the CBM of the world. If he finds a way to get to play another year I think he will be an all SEC player. Not many players deserve it more he played his role at Tennessee.

 

[IUGradVol]

BOOM

 

[i2amavol]

I don't think this commit sends shockwaves throughout the SEC, but given who was left in the portal, I think he is a solid get. He will bring lots of experience, decent shooting at all levels, above average defense, and a good free throw percentage. If someone else beats him out for the starting job, that means we will be in good shape for starter and depth.

 

[Moped]

La Tech’s Amaree Abram signs with Tennessee.

 

[Creeker]

Looks like he’s a solid addition. Still need to add a little more production from the wing, but Abram looks like a good get if you can get Massamba too.

Todd Kirk or whoever you are, thank you for sharing the intel!! You are a STUD!!!

 

[cncchris33]

So, you would trade our roster for the team that just won the national title (in the last unique year with 5+ year covid era players). Really going out on a limb there!

Well, ⅓ of the roster (the backcourt) just for comparison's sake. I know you're just being silly, but to the point, I'm fine with our current frontcourt. I think we can win with them. But I think comparing Florida's backcourt of this past year to our potential backcourt for next year and calling it a wash is incredibly optimistic.

Yeah, I guess I was overlooking the post you responded to comparing backcourts for context.
