“Recap from what I’ve heard and what Trilly has said. Vols won 81-63.

Starters were

Z
Gainey
Shack
Igor
Felix

Lanier hasn’t practiced a lot in last few weeks so he didn’t start. Will replace Gainey when he’s healthy, Shack got banged up in the scrimmage.

Stats we know from scrimmage
Chaz 27 pts
Felix 20 pts
Z 11 pts 8 ast
Cam 2 pts 4 reb
Igor 0 pts”

Fahr Igor.

 

[cncchris33]

Not sure whether to be blown away by Chaz’s 27 and Felix’s 20, or distraught by Igor’s goose egg.

Two is better than one, so I’ll choose to be impressed and hope they can average 47 between the three of them.

 

[chuckiepoo]

anyone have complete box scores?

It was a closed scrimmage.

Felix man I wonder what his rebounds/blocks looked like...

Also Z with 8 assists could this be a year where he joins Woods/Darden with 8+ a game for a season? He'll break the career record of 227 in the Louisville game.

Damn Igor balled out


Glad Okpara killed it though.

Reportedly 9 rebounds. Haven’t seen any blocks floated.

So we got Aidoo and Awaka mixed into one player.

Atta boy Barnes.

Kind of what we were wishing was possible last year.

 

[JRVOL11]

wonder how dubar did

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Well still kinda 2 players if you include Igor’s goose egg

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Igor's supposed goose egg is def a head scratcher while Chaz's reported 27 is encouraging. Okpara should thrive in CRB's program playing alongside ZZ.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Lanier is back in our good graces! Unclear how 0 points is possible against Davidson for Igor. But overall promising report and next Indiana who will be a great litmus test for how things early in the season might look.

Glad Chaz balled out. Hope Mashack is alright. Trying very hard not to overreact to 0 pts from Igor against Davidson. lol.

Seeing Felix put up 20 is encouraging. I’m moreso curious how Felix does in the Indiana exhibition. Apparently Oumar Ballo (Arizona transfer) plays for Indiana now. That’ll be an interesting matchup.

 

[berryvol]

wonder how dubar did

Per Trilly himself,
“Gainey: 9pts
JP: 0pts, 3rebs in 7min
Dstone: 2pts in 11min”

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

On the Igor egg oddity, Davidson packed four in the whole game, and it became a lob fest from ZZ to Felix apparently. They Didn’t cover our 2 much and Gainey and Lanier had easy looks. I don’t think we can take much from the numbers.

Lobbbbbbbbb Cityyyyy

You can definitely see that in the short highlight video the team put out. One of those threes that Chaz got looked like shooting practice. A defender wasn’t even in the frame lol

Felix might be a bigger problem than even most us homers originally thought. No disrespect to anybody b4, but imo they’ve been missing an athletic big that can consistently play above the rim.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, I’m trying not to get over hyped. But Felix is the sort of big I’ve been waiting for us to land for awhile. Legit 7’ that’s strong and explosive who isn’t interested in taking 8’ jump hook shots or fading away for jumpers when in the paint. Definitely more of a turn and dunk type, but I was always frustrated by the amount of dribbling Aidoo and even Awaka tried to do.

The crossover where he sends that guy stumbling all the way to Cedar Bluff then pulls up and drains the shot was awesome

A lot more big men dribble when they shouldn't as opposed to past great low post players, or probably better labeled as classic or traditional low post scorers

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

It’s gonna take a while for this team to gel.
