They made peace with it when they were making Final Fours with that style. When they were missing tournaments altogether and losing early when they made it, that is when they decided publicly that it was an issue. But internally, fans (especially those over 40 years of age) never cared for the...

Yeah, for the reasons in my two previous posts above, I can sort of understand the take. Maybe he becomes a lights out shooter. You can't really teach him to be more athletic, but Dane Bradshaw made a huge difference for a Tennessee team that was in flux. This kid is an infinitely better...

Agree. They are going to look night and day differently from an athletic profile. Part of me wonders if this wasn't a take to get the fanbase re-engaged with the identity of the team. The kid has some talent...I don't mean to run him down. I just don't think he had UK talent. But taking him...

Yeah, it's not a lot different than the Mabor take for us (assuming that happens) for that end of bench guy. He may end up being a guy who is just thrilled to be a part of the program and a glue type leadership role on the bench who plays very sparingly.

Looking like I may be eating my words on this one. I'd expect him to commit to UK anytime, now. Really surprising. I just don't see him making an impact there, but we'll see.

Probably someone like Ques Glover who you hope comes in and doesn't mind only getting 10 minutes a night. Not my first choice, nor my 10th choice, but if it fills the scholarship and a need, you take it, I guess.

He did dominate the state tournament averaging 33 ppg across 4 games hitting 19-34 from 3 (56%) and losing to UK commit Travis Perry's Lyon County team in the finals. There are a lot of high-profile underclassmen that played in that event, so maybe he got spotted by someone who fell in love...

Not sure on this one. He might have even led the state in scoring this year at 30 ppg, but he just isn't really an SEC-level athlete, which is the case for most kids in Eastern KY. Good shooter who hit 43% from 3, but at 6-6, I just don't know who he guards in the SEC. I was shocked when I...

Still curious why we did a 180 over the weekend with him.

No they can't. It's called collective bargaining for a reason and the scale is set. MLB can't just change the scale to whatever they want on a whim.

True, but the teams willing to spend big don't care about that tax, which is why they perpetually spend big beyond that threshold every year. They figure revenue from merchandising, ticket sales, concessions, TV money, etc, from a winning product exceeds the value of that tax.

Major League Baseball

Just the best pure basketball player I've seen at Tennessee since Allan Houston. We've had some good ones in that since, some would say great ones like Lofton, Grant, etc., but Dalton was just such a force at every level that those other guys weren't, which make him a more complete player...

Geez...a case of the mind seeing one thing and the eyes seeing another. Good catch, my bad.

Not sure where Hubbs is getting that Hammond has no D1 offers. He was signed to Rhode Island and has several other reported D1 offers, though they could be noncommittal, I suppose. Edit: nevermind...he said P5, not D1
