Only played against Rutgers and Seton Hall.

8/11 against Seton Hall, shooting 16.7%

4/2 against Rutgers.

Just a Sophomore though. Against Rutgers he only took 3 shots and also fouled out.

Seaton Hall was the first game of the season just his 11th start too. Had a rough night though 1 of 6 and most his points came at the FT line. But lead the team in rebounding.

I'd take him, but I also think he's going to try and cut his own path...wouldn't be surprised to see him closer to Knoxville though since the family all lives this way.

This is someone I wish we would go after. Prob not to start but he would be a perfect fit in the 6th man/ Gainey role off the bench. I remember he played well when MTSU came to Knoxville.

I'm not sure if he has family this way other than ZZ. ZZ's Mom lives here but I think both his parents are still in New York.

If we took him, he’d probably be a Cameron Carr in the rotation at best.

At best. If he's cool with not having a role right away and being developed , ok I guess, but can't afford to just give a roster spot away. It's another thing if they swing and miss on some in the portal and then bring him in, but lots of guys have been listed here should be bigger priorities. JMO.

Obviously all plans are that this is ZZ’s final year and the possibility of it also being Barnes final year would cement him being gone, but is there any route to him actually getting a fifth year? I know he had the injury in the last couple weeks of the regular season in 2023, so he played almost all of that season. That said, there’s been some insane decisions from the NCAA in giving guys extended eligibility. Is there any plans at all for them to petition for a fifth year or is ZZ/UT pretty much resigned to this being the final go for him?

not guys from UT.. unless you mean insane in the other direction.. they are still mad we won that case.

I thought the marks would eventually settle, but the fact that rates are only going up is annoying. Field of 68 was discussing how Great Osobor got $2 million last cycle to transfer from Utah State to Washington. Unreal waste of money.

The key is to not HAVE to get a starting big or several scorers IMO. There's only so many bigs that can contribute right away and that heavily inflates their price

I get that but I thought after some of these portal players proved to have very little ROI we’d see the market adjust. It just hasn’t happened. As the kids say, it’s a whole bunch of mid. A lot of mid on these teams getting paid money they aren’t worth.

Do we have any sense for what our budget is likely to be next year? If you’re looking at 2M per and we’re targeting taking a half dozen transfers, that could get expensive fast, and that’s before you pay the returners.
