I appreciate your contributions and involvement to the board but your speaking in definites isn’t helping anyone…we have 5 available spots as Awaka has not announced anything, counting him officially as back seems misleading. As for the 2 & 2, again don’t think that’s totally accurate. I don’t see the staff turning down any of Tyson, Milicic and Lanier if all 3 wanted in.
He would be an absolute miracle for our team... Pairing a shooting big who can be position-less alongside a guy like Awaka is great. The Croatian is super competitive as well and we won't see him back down.... His shot phenomenal and handle+drive... My current #1 want personally... He's like a more polished, ready JP Estrella more mature and experienced
NIL won't be capped. What's frustrating is how schools like Bama seem to have more NIL funds for basketball than we do. I could understand it from traditional basketball schools who give less support to football. Basketball is their bread and butter. But for schools like us and Bama, football is the bell cow. So, do they just have richer donors, or are our donors kind of cheap?
I respect that and I thank you guys for everything you do... I just get excited when I know something to be true so I speak in definites in those situations... Will be more mindful towards the readers in the future just keep that to myself and to speak in the hear and now... We will not have more than a 8 to 9-man rotation historically that is a proven fact for our Tennessee basketball team... Getting all three of those guys you listed would ultimately lead someone to transfer out and then ultimately we would end up with another developmental player just as I said... So I think "if" Awaka returns - the four returning players will consist of two immediate contributors and two guys more on the developmental side not getting that many minutes (if any at all).....
