Yeah, it worked on mine, too. I wish they were high tops, but I did like 'em

Yeah me too. I use to wear the low tops KD’s and they fell off too easy. Maybe grant will stick around in the NBA long enough to get his own shoe. Lol

Nothing makes everything feel normal again like the NCAA sticking it to the Vols.

I think Dal has to be referring to Cade Mays, not being eligible to play this year, after transferring

Kennedy’s dad was on Memphis radio:

Coach Lanier started the recruitment KC’s freshman season. Coach Barnes did a great job throughout. Coach English picked it up hard and heavy. Penny wanted him but was late.

What solidified his decision was Kevin Durant’s dad calling the family and selling Barnes as a person and how he takes care of players after basketball.

Gotta love it, KD's Dad is UT's and Barnes' closer

Grant Williams played well in the second game of the playoffs. He scored nine points and had six rebounds in over 20 minutes of playing time. He was two for two shooting, both three-pointers. Grant seems to have a bigger role on the Celtics with their recent injury.

Man, I was kinda pulling for the Sixers since Tobias and JRich are starters. Philly needs to get their act together. Boston is def a better team, but the series shouldn't be at 3-0 in favor of either.

That being said, Boston has always been our best chance for a Vol to get a ring this season.

Def hoping for a classic LAL-BOS Finals. I'll be cheering for the Lakers though....

Obviously Durant is Number one, but how would you rank Barnes players in the NBA?

Gotta think Aldridge is #2

Gotta think Aldridge is #2

Most definitely.

From Rob Lewis on Rick Barnes Zoom Meeting:

Feels like this is going to be his most athletic team at Tennessee. Feels like they have a chance to break a great defensive team. Depth and athleticism will let them pressure the way he wants to pressure people.

Biggest thing for Johnson and Springer right now is to get in shape. Both talented enough to contribute early.

Says that the way they've had to work this summer has been like going to the driving range and the putting green all for two months without ever getting to actually play golf.

Josiah's biggest improvement has been with his flexibility, much improved from last year where Rick thought he was a little stiff. Expects to play him 'all over the court.'

Bailey, Vescovi, Springer and James can all play some PG, wants guys to rebound it and go, happy to have several who can do that.

Really positive comments about Anosike, very high on him.

Said Nkamhoua has had a great offseason, was really complimentary of him and the improvement he's made.

Feels like Uros is in much better condition, has to stop dribbling so much and learn to play lower.

Says Santiago probably had the best summer of anyone b/c he didn't have the same restrictions they were working with here and got to play against good competition everyday.

Fulkerson and Pons both doing a better job of stepping up as leaders. As only two seniors on the team important that they do that.

Corey Walker has to get in better shape.

Cautioned that he didn't know anything for sure and everything is preliminary but optimistic they will start season on time, Nov. 11. Added that it was all hypothetical, but with school being out after Thanksgiving and for all of December college basketball could do some sort of 'bubble situation ' if necessary.

Sounds good but isn’t the Big Ten not playing sports till next semester so we’ll have to find a new opponent for the first game in order to start on time (since it was gonna Wisconsin)?
