2024 Transfer Portal Thread

Am I crazy to prefer Awaka back over Aidoo (in the hypothetical world where I could pick 1)? It may just be recency bias, but I feel like Awaka helps the team more than Aidoo, when given the same minutes.

Awaka is in foul trouble too much and I think alot of it has to do with him trying to be physical, but only 6'9.

Aidoo did well with most guys his height or shorter. Afterall he was 2nd team all SEC. For the few matchups he had against 7ft+ bigs, he struggled. But only a handful of top teams had guys that big. Purdue, Kansas, UConn, Creighton. The two other bigs he struggled against that were his size were all conference type players in Johni Broome (Auburn) and Tolu Smith (MSST). Only other one was sensation DJ Burns. But he still had 50lbs on Aidoo.

I don't think Awaka is the answer against the guys of which Aidoo struggled. I do think if Aidoo can put on a few lbs, continue to improve his game along with us recruiting this 6'10 and 6'8 guys with length to help disrupt on defense, it could help with those matchups. All that to say, I'd rather have Aidoo.

Just made a post on Instagram about Jared Coleman Jones with the Pete rock reminisce over you track and he immediately followed me liked it and a lot of his MTSU teammates liked it, uncommon for that to happen especially with a low-key vol bball fan page with less than 100 ppl following it..... So its obvious to me that he likes Tennessee. He's cool with Chaz Lanier as well, that Nashville connection!

I wouldn't mind getting JCJ if we don't get Igor. They both fit a need

Definitely

Don’t think it’s been confirmed, but a lot of smoke around it. Unless something changes tho, Dubar will go public with a commitment today.

 

[fear]

i guess history shall repeat itself except we keep both this time

 

[CAVPUT]

I have to ask: a) why the Gecko avatar? b) have you thought about changing it to Eeyore?

Like the little dude. Unassuming and he digs coffee. Eeyore has certainly been suggested, and with my luck....or lack thereof...it's certainly accurate.

 

[onfocusgovols]

Where are you hearing the Awaka news?

Don't know when he will make an official announcement, but nothing has changed about his expected return. The meeting w coaches went well

Lfg. Do you if there is any truth to Awaka not particularly caring for Aidoo?

Let’s all turn the gossip switch to the off position.

 

[berryvol]

Reliable guy in trilly discord just confirmed that Tobe will be back and it will be announced soon.

 

[berryvol]

Sounds like all signs are pointing to Tobe back. Dubar announcement this weekend. Let’s get Cade and Igor and call it a mf week.
