We have a roster? I say this as I mourn last year's team and how much churn is in college athletics now.

 

[Ace]

We will be fine. Players will want to come here and play. I hope Awaka reconsiders

 

[JCP201]

who are players from portal interested in VOLS? Would Awaka return?

 

[Vols410]

If I could only have 2 of Aidoo/Awaka/Estrella give me Awaka/Estrella. Love Aidoo but 2+ years for each of the others is better. Estrella is gonna make a big jump too.

Gotta get Awaka back or another big now.

I hear Chaz Lanier from North Florida and Darlinstone Dubar from Hofstra are possibles. If Barnes can land them it would really help fill in for the losses.

I'm really hoping we don't lose Mashack too. I could see him taking a nice jump next year on offense.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

We've got 7 players. Let's ride

 

[LordVOLdemort]

let’s go get some ballers. Awaka was a foul machine and Aidoo disappeared when he had any competition down low. Good riddance.

Seems to me the first job is to stop the bleeding. No more people to the portal.

 

[Special Ed]

Rick's going to have to don his sexiest recruiting outfit and sing a siren song to lure at least one studly, experienced big man from the portal.
Otherwise, next season is going to be one BIG flop.

I'm not sure I agree with the 'good riddance' part, but I definitely agree with your assessments.

I'm almost positive Rick has 0 sexy recruiting outfits.

I'm almost positive Rick has 0 sexy recruiting outfits.

Then how did we land Knecht?

From some posts, it sounds like we either commit to Estrella or risk him hitting said portal. While I'd love a physical big, I'm starting to doubt it happening.

 

[spyfish007]

Then how did we land Knecht?

There was an exchange of a guitar and a soul .....

Is there a way to update this with position/potential positions for reference as well?

The Aidoo move to the portal came out of left field to me.

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

You'd think that a wide open 5 spot and playing with a PG like ZZ would be a nice carrot for one of the top big men. I like Estrella but he needs to develop more. I see him coming off the bench next year.

 

[Rocky Knocksville]

I hope CRB gets this straightened out quickly, I'm having trouble enjoying the rejections for the KY coaching job with our roster in shambles...

 

[orbs son]

That’s assuming they don’t jump later. Seems like a big assumption anymore.

 

[Tecvol369]

[Tecvol369]

This Darlinstone Dubar looks like a guy that really could step right up.

 

[Spawn]

We need a big man and a shooter or two. Not a lot of offense left on the roster

 

[a vol n tears]

For everyone leaving the Tenn roster, there are going to the same leaving other teams. Good players leaving everywhere and I don’t really get it unless it’s the money.
Hope our portal players reconsider, but there will be Aidoo and Awaka quality players out there. Still think the biggest need is a shooter, either wing or guard.
