247 Article on Carey

Well if nothing else, you can't deny his spirit.

"I kinda live by 'I'm willing to die out there'"

Would add a lot of things Tennessee doesn't have. Post-up efficiency, rebounding (especially offensive), and ASSERTIVE physicality. Also plays with a fire and energy that will be nice to add losing some of the guys this team is

I think a year in our strength and conditioning program would do wonders for him. He passes the eye test for me, kicked our asses twice this year.

Not sure why we are complaining about adding another big man when our lack of depth in the frontcourt was one of the biggest weaknesses this year.

For real though. I'm pumped about this guy. #71 overall player in the portal according to on3. I remember watching him play against us and thinking we could use Awaka just to match up with Carey. Now the mismatch is on our team.

IF we get him**

Tells me JP’s injury is worse than thought.

Foot fractures + hardware + 7 foot tall dudes is a bad combo

Wish we knew what SF meant, oh well.

Takes about a year for a 100% recovery depending on severity. I just wonder if he needs another one

Yet, every book maker has us at 9.5

There will be dozens of teams who hit the under

Absolute dream would be:
PG: Gill 6’1
SG: Rodney 6’4
SF: Ament 6’9
PF: Alvaro 6’9
C: Okpara 6’11

(I should prob give up on Alvaro)

Hugeeeee team.

 

[Yeiser10]

Zz
Gillespie
Rice
Ament
Okpara
Gainey
Mashack
Phillips
Estrella
Carey

Can we all dream for a moment

Would be nice, but until SF or BTO says this Ament stuff is real and not just a leverage play, I can’t bring myself to believe it. He’s going to want the largest bag possible, and it’s well-documented we don’t do that.

Oh buddy.

We are having a legitimate conversation with Ament and his agent. It’s a real thing, but he’s been working this for weeks with others. Some developments made him rethink where he wants to be. Rice is a real probability too. The McNeely loss woke up some people to the reality that the market is different, and we’ll move faster and more deliberately to get this wrapped up. I can’t talk about anyone’s health. I said as much as I can say on that topic. Obviously there’s concern given the moves they’re making.

This is what I needed. Glad they are coming around to reality

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Makes me think Estrellas injury really slowed down his development.

Hopefully not.

 

[berryvol]

Do you think I Top Soccer.com would have the scoop of a 5 star basketball recruit at least 3 days before anyone else did, and that no one would even be talking about it except some woman in a Vols Facebook group?

Yes!

 

[berryvol]

Want. He’s a great 3 and D guy with an insane engine. Barnes could do so much with Mo D.

 

[Volanooga2521]

I would assume a Big East school. UConn, SJU, Nova, etc

Move faster on Ament? Or portal targets in general?

A lot of this is exciting but if this means Estrella is struggling to get healthy that’s a real bummer. For one thing I really liked his potential, but more importantly just hate it for a talented kid. But maybe it’s just a longer than expected recovery, but still ultimately expected

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Move faster on Ament? Or portal targets in general?

Both. We made very decisive offers, and also gave deadlines for answers.
