[cncchris33]

I have not, but could just be a name I haven’t heard yet

He has a Link Academy connection. His 3-pt% is...concerning for a 6-4 SG. 24.7% on 93 attempts

Oh you'll be back. They always come back.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Well yeah, duh. I meant I’ll gone for like 4 days.

 

[cncchris33]

Tennessee, Alabama, Creighton, Nebraska & Illinois are the teams named

Lol...the exact two SEC schools I assumed. Eaglestaff to one, Dix to the other? I'll take it.

[THEONLYTENISEE]

I don’t even know what to expect to be honest lol

I haven’t been in like 25 years. Get a drink and I should be fine

 

[TrippieRedd]

All of them

 

[cncchris33]

How many portal additions are we likely to take?

Probably between 4 and 7 depending on what Mallory, Burries, and Able do from the high school ranks.

We only return Estrella, Phillips, Okpara, and Boswell, and that assumes none of those leave. We have two signees (Brown ans Evans). So, we have 7 open scholarships. Given that we aren't supposedly in better than 50-50 shape for any of the others HS recruits, I'd lean closer to the high end of that 4-7 range for tranfers.

We took our kids for the first time two years ago during Spring Break. We are a more "rides over characters" family, so my kids (who were 15, 15, and 10 at the time) as well and my wife and I were all far more impressed with Universal than any of the Disney parks for that reason. It had been about 25 years between visits for me, as well. Disney was very meh. Epcot was my favorite Disney park, as it was when I was a kid, too.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

The kid from Evansville is legit. Watched him play several times this season.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Based on the names BTO has heard, I really like that we're going after some more length. Budd is an obvious take, but everyone else so far is north of 6'5" even the wing guys.

Totally agree Universal is by far a better experience if you're not a Disney fan already, I do really like Animal Kingdom though, but my kiddo (11) is a huge animal lover. We try to hit up Zoos anytime we're on vacation.

Those guys in the portal?

Chaikin hit the portal

Trippie at Disney.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Vols should go heavy in portal for Freeman, Eaglestaff, and Clark. Kentucky has been involved early on for Freeman.

 

[Vol49er]

So for those keeping track, here’s what I’ve got so far…

A lot of freshman. I like that

 

[Legion of Doom]

We need to add about 5 or 6 transfers if we don’t think the 5th year is granted. Maybe keep a few open spots just in case and add in fall.

 

[BruisedOrange]

"...shooting 47.9% from three..."

Come to Tennessee and Barnes will lower that three-point average!

 

[VolArmy74]

Gonna hold out hope Jacob Ognacevic enters and wants to stay in state once Lipscomb's season ends. If he does enter, he'll command some big money, hopefully he'd be willing to come let Barnes improve his draft stock ala Knecht.

Is he getting a 5th year?

 

[VolArmy74]

Is he getting a 5th year?

His first year was the covid year that didn't count. Since he sat out a year and played 3 others.
