This post makes no sense. So he claims that our primary target is finally going to enter the portal and then proceeds to discuss how instead we’ll pursue other PGs, possibly even the Mingo brothers? Basilio must be drunk.

To be fair, he didn’t say TT was entering portal, the part before what was pasted said Tennesse is hoping he enters portal.

As I said last week, UNC is this year’s new nuclear power. They have enough money to blow up any deal. Juke’s heart is here, but they are making it hard. Tanner’s agents seem to be still sniffing prior to him entering portal. Haralson is a top priority for now, and staff believes Tanner and Juke will be in or thumbs down by weekend. Lots of contingencies building for guards depending on how the two top targets break. I asked for percentage chances on us getting at least one of TT or Juke, and just got “coin toss”. We have the best long term relationships. English landing in the wrong area code hurts as he has known Juke since middle school. When the process is completely managed by agents, substance matters less and less. Ament had a long odds/glimmer of hope chance for returning, but his measurables just keep taking him up the lottery ladder. That will be almost impossible to counter. We have a long list of guards depending on what breaks.

I’ve been a pretty consistent defender of his and loyal listener but some of the antics are wearing thin, especially the griping about “that’s what I told you, but you all flamed me” when something happens.

Same here. I listen for some "noise" while working. I've been an on/off listener for about 25 years, but pretty active for the last 5 or 6.

Most guests are interesting (I turn off the Watson Brown segment every week...waste of time). Callers are hit or miss...most of the serial callers are boring and predictable, but a few are really good. I like callers like "Mark in Columbus" because he has original thought and doesn't just pander to Tony.

Tony's just so sensitive and soft but tries to overcompensate with his "I don't care what anybody thinks" persona when it is crystal clear that he absolutely cares what people think about him The whole YouTube suspending commentors is sooo weak, but is proof positive he absolutely cares what people think. And now he has started pandering his audience for "likes" and donations in the form of superchat comments (paid ability to comment and have it highlighted) and then rejects the claims he's begging for money, even threatening to end the show if he doesn't hit "X" number of likes in a certain time period. His incessant need to be the smartest person in the room, and the way he treats Brian (his producer) on air is embarrassing. If I were Brian, I had have left that show a long time ago and told Tony to shove it.

I keep telling myself I'm going to stop listening because it just gets worse every week. Not the content, necessarily, but his arrogance and narcissism are just becoming intolerable.

Would be nice to win one of these “heart is at Tennessee, but money is elsewhere” fights one day. Feels like we get the short end of that straw often, and then when you get a guy like Legend Bey who takes the money and spurns his heart (OSU) he ends up regretting it lol.

Don’t love the fact that TT’s agent is sniffing around for better deals.

Who’s the priority if Tanner doesn’t pan out

I just really hope that messing around with Juke and Tanner doesn't mess up anything with Haralson and Hill Jr. I don't think the latter two are getting slow played, but I really hope we can lock them both up when they visit. Their visits should overlap if I'm not mistaken, so hopefully they hit it off.

Hill Jr
Ames
Lundblade
Haralson
Rubin

Is a heck of a class by itself and would be a top 25 starting lineup imo... but I'm sure we wouldn't be done. If we missed out on both Juke and/or Tanner then that is a lot of money still available to throw at 1-2 highly rated portal players. Throw a massive bag at Thiam. Then I'd trust that Barnes could find a true pg instead of rolling with another combo guard again this year.

4 on roster (counting Nate for now, 100% think he's going to draft)
3 incoming HS players (I think Washington Jr. is in the boat, part of why the above is counting Nate)
3 portal additions

That leaves us with 5 spots...they will absolutely take Haralson would love to see that news break tonight or tomorrow after his visit too.

Looks like JP was the only exit that had a landing spot lined up....Bishop, Evans, Cade, & Massamba all still looking for a place Bishop is the only one I've heard taking an actual visit....Cade to Bama seems to have smoke but unsure if he's even done a visit?

Would this be a fair peace deal with Iran? We lift all sanctions and give them diplomatic status in exchange form them accepting every registered and unregistered sports agent from the United States into Iran, henceforth keeping them there and restrict them from using any form of communication.

Cade’s skill set doesn’t remind me of what Alabama looks for in post players? Obviously his family is connected to the athletic department, but being a family of high values I also find it difficult to believe they would want to be a part of the Oats regime. Guess we’ll see.

After a while it's gets really tiresome trying to explain to people who don't follow the NBA how the league rates players, especially 18-19 year olds in the lottery area of the draft.
