Nate Ament is a Vol!

[Lefteye]

Had me in the first 27 seconds.

[K-town Vol Fan]

So starting lineup...

1. JaKobi
2. Evans
3. Ament
4. JP/Carey?
5. Okpara


Let's ride

 

[CamVol8]

Let’s go!! keep this rolling baby. Go Vols!

 

[ERvolsfan]

Yes I know. I’ve seen his film. He will play the 3 and 4. We still need more shooters and guards.

to this point I actually could see Ament being our primary scoring option... but to your point, I am sitting here thinking if we don't land Rice, who is our 2 (SG)??

We got...(from a starting standpoint)
- PG -Gillespie
- SG - ?? (Amari Evans maybe)
- SF - Ament
- PF - Phillips/Carey
- C - Okpara / Estrella

You probably go all in on Chaikin then hope the rule gets passed so we can bring Gainey back.

That’s probably best case scenario

Absolutely amazing job from Barnes and the staff, but specifically Barnes, not sure he’s recruited anyone personally harder to Tennessee, he loves the kid.

Not bad for a guy coasting to retirement

 

[EricberryFAN]

Who are we in on for a SG? Anyone left other than Gollespie teammate?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

BOOM!

Huge pick up.

 

[LakesiteVol]

BOOM!!!!!

Rice, Chiakin, and Aberdeen are options. Signing two of those would be ideal. Aberdeen is a Barnes type of player. Plays so hard on defense and is tough. I could see them possibly looking for Rice and Aberdeen.

 

[lawgator1]

Also have to respect his honesty saying he's one and done. Everyone knows what they're getting out of this, no hedging.

 

[Tnsuperman24]

So all for Tennessee, seen this comin. Colton Pickard might have jumped the gun on the story but he was right on this one. GBO!! Great Day to be a Vol!!

 

[top5vols]

Boom! Boom!

Chaikin would benefit a lot from our strength and conditioning program over a couple of years. Great shooter. Defensively he would struggle but worth a scholarship IMO. Not sure I would want him starting though. Rice (or someone similar) and Chaikin would be ideal.

 

[Orangeslide]

Rick Barnes has brought Tennessee Basketball to a level never seen before. Beating out Duke and Kentucky for a recruit was an afterthought in years past. In Barnes we trust! Go Vols! Already excited about the 25-26 season!

 

[RAVOL]

Outstanding Player big future. Will be interesting year for sure mix of veterans and youth. Looking forward to final roster and how this team on paper stacks up to other Top 10 rosters. In CHRIST Alone

This is what I am hoping for. Maybe the UConn recruit that is now avaialble.

Based on his final few words, he looks like the right character of player for the right character of coach.

Great day for it

This is a massive get for the big orange world! Who said Rick Barnes was washed up and only here to retire when he has taken this program to new highs and continues to do so! We have a great start to a fantastic season.

 

[Vol49er]

Wow, I knew he could score, but it looks like he has some real playmaking chops too. Very excited

Also, all sorts of delicious meltdowns from Duke and Kentucky fans on social media, that’s nice
