Over 7? I’d probably take Grant & Admiral. Mostly because everyone around DK & ZZ were inconsistent.

Position by position how do you like the match up though talent wise?..I feel like it’s pretty close to even but grant and admiral were that duo.i just feel like DK would have to be like Lebron out there against that other starting 5

Plus Kyle Alexander was a rim protector. Which the Vols didn't have this past season.
Jordan Bowden was a streaky shooter but when he was hot it was great.

The Bowden dunk vs Vandy is tops for me followed by the Keon Johnson dunk a few years ago.

Kyle could be violent, for his size. I'm tellin' ya the 25 commit we just got can be both def and off. Really hoping we find some portal help though.

Oh gosh, 😬 teams were different. Grant was so physical, as was Admiral. Bowden could hurt you.

Id go Admiral/GW team.

In the Tourney, where Defense wins however, with a healthy Vescovi, ZZ, and Tobe I think id go 23 team.

1.8 blocks per game does not qualify as a rim protector?

Still looking for a RB in first 3 rounds I hope.

That area, but they could prioritize other positions and wait until the fourth or later. Several promising corners should be available on the second day and Gilmore most likely isn't returning.

Does anyone here own a GMC Sierra? Drove one for work last week. Was surprised by the 'relatively' low price point (which is still high) in comparison to other trucks.

Do you like it?

I have a few buddies that have them. They are all dealing with the notorious lifter tick issue. Relatively low miles on all 3 as well. Buy Toyota if looking at gas pickups.

I have a 2020 that I bought new. Now have 85k miles on it and I love it! Never been in the shop for anything except normal servicing. Recommend highly,

In the well-trafficked skies above the Somme River in France, Baron Manfred von Richthofen is shot down and killed.



"On April 21, 1918, with 80 victories under his belt, Richthofen led his squadron of triplanes deep into Allied territory in France on a search for British observation aircraft. The flight drew the attention of an Allied squadron led by Canadian Air Force pilot Captain Arthur Roy Brown. As Richthofen pursued a plane piloted by Brown’s compatriot, Wilfred R. May, the Red Baron ventured too far into enemy territory and too low to the ground. Two miles behind the Allied lines, just as Brown caught up with Richthofen and fired on him, the chase passed over an Australian machine-gun battery, whose riflemen opened fire. Richthofen was hit in the torso; though he managed to land his plane alongside the road from Corbie to Bray, near Sailley-le-Sac, he was dead by the time Australian troops reached him. Brown is often given credit for downing Richthofen from the air, though some claimed it was actually an Australian gunner on the ground who fired the fatal shot; debate continues to this day.

Manfred von Richthofen was buried by the Allies in a small military cemetery in Bertangles, France, with full military honors. He was 25 years old at the time of his death. His body was later moved to a larger cemetery at Fricourt. In 1925, it was moved again, at the behest of his brother, Karl Bolko, this time to Berlin, where he was buried at Invaliden Cemetery in a large state funeral. In a time of wooden and fabric aircraft, when 20 air victories ensured a pilot legendary status, the Red Baron downed 80 enemy aircraft and went down in history as one of the greatest heroes to emerge from World War I on either side of the conflict.
