You guys are setting yourselves up to be massively disappointed when Lanier doesn't come. Don't do this to yourselves. Haven't we learned by now??

He's all Vol!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lol @TrippieRedd This guy. I highly doubt we have the highest NIL offer. The cope is beginning.

How can someone be dumber than me?

He was asked if UT outbid and the response was "no' from Joe Adams..

Means we was less money but probably closer to home was the selling point.

It’s message board. Never apologize and it’s never that serious. Good grief.

Yeah if you get upset at something on a message board you really need to touch some grass. The ignore list is hilarious.

What should we have learned?

Probably a deal similar to DK's. Less guaranteed but more potential earnings.

Plus, I just don't see why a kid would choose Kentucky right now over Tennessee.

Closer but not that much closer. Another 30-40 min further. Not a deal breaker. Don't think distance will matter much between UT and UK.

Just appreciate the great way you respond and tell me to STFU without saying STFU.

I check in periodically for updates from the few true proven information sources here, but the amount of hand wringing and BVS (20-25 pages every day!) over what a college kid is going to decide to do next season is truly insane. The brave new world of college sports.

that guy claimed yesterday trilly steals his info then puts it in that discord. bros either an elite troll or the coal mines has fried his brain.

I post on a Chicago Cubs board full of unemployed virgins who live in the projects and they are more sensitive than this group.

I know my basketball resume and would put it up against anyone here.

I just find it extremely hard to believe that there truly are any legit insiders.

Enough digging around and you can form a pretty strong opinion and if you're wrong just say "things changed".

I do enjoy being a part of this group though.

Now this I agree with. When it comes to recruiting in any sport, there's a rather small group that are making these decisions. Coaching staff and the collective. Given the nature of both recruiting and money, I also find it hard to believe that information is so casually spread unless it's coming from the kid, his family or his agent...which is plausible. That someone from that circle is dropping info to internet guys or goofs like Basilio who will run and shout it from every digital rooftop is just hard to swallow.

The concept of a “basketball resume’” wins the internet today.

Name: Ball Man Johnson Joke

Goals: I want place with high circle. Put ball in circle. Stop bad man who try put ball in circle.

Relevant experience: Ball Bouncing, Running, Jumping, Ball Go In Circle, Stop Ball Bad Ball Man Circle.

I choose to believe we got him.

If we can snag Tankersly and get him to RS, that would be a great finish.

Never question a man that has a long Johnson..

Ive mentioned before, and said again last week, that the information chain goes down two roads. From player to handler to placed insider. From NIL member to big donor to friends. Typically, staff doesn’t comment on anything unless it is confirming or denying existing rumors. They usually avoid even that. When someone like BTO or me gets info, it is typically from the chain of donors or services who work with NIL. None of them share until the circle of confidentiality has been breached. I’m sure BTO will confirm that his friends will often say, “I can’t share that yet” or “You can’t share this yet”. The best way to get on the outside of a circle is to share when you’ve been asked not to.

Today, I’ve been asked to not comment on Lanier. I won’t. I probably don’t even need to given what I’ve already said. Take that as you will.
