I was one of the ones who didn’t see DK as a lottery pick early in the season. I feel like if it wasn’t such a weak draft that may have stayed true but he definitely did everything he could to prove me wrong.
All that to say, I hope he does go to SA. Would love to see him shoot 3s around a...
What do we really care the kid is “worth” in NIL? If he helps us win, fits the team and we have the $ available then pay it. Why get upset over $1.7m or any number for that matter?
What matters is that Barnes and Co feel he can help us win at the highest level. So get him if possible. If not...
I don't disagree at all. If they were okay with his coaching style I don't know that there's any players from the past eras that wouldn't have benefitted. Just curious who others think may have hit a new level.
I'll also throw out that I think JaJuan Smith would've thrived under Barnes. Plus...
In the Transfer Portal thread there was a small discussion going on about players who have played under Barnes during his tenure here and how they've improved, specifically in regards to shooting. It got me thinking and I want to pose an off-season question.
Which player from a previous...
Basically, team defensive systems and coaching matters a lot. Combined with legitimate effort to improve. I’m not worried about the defense in a RB era UT team.
We’re not finding an All-SEC 2nd Team replacement in the portal. And Awaka would not be All-SEC next season.
He had a bad end to the season which sucks but Aidoo > Awaka still. This year and next.
I’m in the minority here I think, I want Awaka to stay but I’d also not be overly upset if he left. I like our young, albeit unproven, talent in the post and while we’d definitely be thin for depth inside I feel like the upside is still there. Of the 4 posts I think Awaka has the lowest ceiling...
I think I'm one of the few that think Bronny could be a really good college player, not a star, but a contributor on a high level team. I don't think his Dad was much of a problem at USC or his popularity. I highly doubt it would be any worse at UT. Obviously, if we don't ever reach out to him...
