Think brent hubbs on Mcneely said on SportsTalk Tennessee does not offer his major he is taking at Virginia.....don't know if Louisville does or not...just passing on what he said if that was a deal breaker or not...

@TrippieRedd how do you feel about this with our roster now?

replace McKneely with Wilkerson?

@TrippieRedd is currently at Motlow State checking at a wing that is under the radar and has potential. He will get back to you shortly.

 

[chavisut]

He hustles 100% when he’s on the floor (stamina) and I said he doesn’t provide offense?

Where am I wrong?

You downplay his elite ability on defense with your first statement IMO. I also believe there’s something to be said about being a culture fit and he’s 1000% that.

Downplaying a guy that was an integral part of two of our three elite 8’s is just a bad take. JMO.

Not gonna lie, Im a little relieved there are athletes at this level that this is a big factor for.

Apparently we’re now outbid by a huge number. It’s a bad decision for fit.

Thought that was a unicorn. Didn’t think such a thing existed.

Calm down, as I mentioned earlier Barnes and Gillespie are in no hurry to commit. Both parties are happy with the time line. Barnes has been through this before, he normally comes out on top.

If they are really offering double, and he's slowing down to go visit them, I don't see how that's a good thing.

Maybe a small factor for him but it is always about money.

Basilio is irresponsible. He just makes things up on a regular basis. Amazing that folks sponsor that show

I thought he sponsored the show himself.

McKneely played at UVA

I'm sure it is for a kid that likely won't play in the NBA

 

[DMcVol]

Cade Tyson? He was well nicely to put it. Terrible

UNC was loaded with wings. Bad decision by Tyson. He would have had a better chance for minutes at Tenn, hard to know what he might have done.

 

[Boston Vol]

He was a guy mentioned early but hasn’t been talked about since. Josh Dix from Iowa would be a great pickup

He’s saying in the Midwest. Illinois, Indiana, or KU are the most likely landing spots. A return to Iowa isn’t out of the question.

I definitely think it was the money for McKneely, but the American Studies thing sucks. When I went to UT, they didn't offer it as a standalone major. It was an interdisciplinary study that could be used as a minor and paired with another subject like poli sci or history as the major. that may be part of the issue for the credit transfer.

 

[OldVolMan]

Committed to Louisville

Does he have to wear those goofy glasses like the coach?

 

[OldVolMan]

Boswell at the 2

Just my opinion but never have been impressed with him. Especially when comparing him to what is available in the portal.

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

IMO we may wait to the next wave of portal guys to find our shooting guard

 

[Mullins2010]

Just my opinion but never have been impressed with him. Especially when comparing him to what is available in the portal.

I was just messing around...surely he won't be

 

[SKV84]

Well..the kid will end up coming to Knoxville anyway at the end of the year to get a big Ole beatdown.

 

[OldVolMan]

It’s amazing so many of you are posting on this board instead of coaching at a division 1 school. How can that be???????????????

They do not allow you to coach sitting in your recliner?

 

[Batman1948]

How on earth do you find these dudes with 7 followers talking nonsense

Probably because he's one of the 7 followers

 

[OldVolMan]

Liability on offense is my belief, but the dude is worth his weight in gold on defense

If we have an extra spot I would keep him, in close games going down to the wire he could really help.

Basilio today: “For now, it looks like Phillips, Okpara and Estrella are now all three sticking around for 2025-26.”

Basilio 2 days ago: UT expects at least one of Estrella or Phillips to not be back in 2025-26.Today: McNeely to Louisville

Today: McNeely to Louisville

Everybody 2 days ago: McNeely is more than likely coming to Tennessee

The portal and rosters are the epitome of the Volquest ”the situation is fluid” so no one should be bashed for simply passing along what they hear. It changes constantly.

If Basilio passes along something and it changes he sucks. If Basilio doesn’t say anything he has no sources. Same for any other media. What are they supposed to do?

It's called virtual coaching

Basilio makes up a lot of crap. Who knows if the credit story is true
