ZZ would make more money here than he could playing in a foreign situation and he'd be home. Plus he's one of the best players to ever play here, period. No way you don't take him back.

Rodney Rice after his TN visit:

This quote sounds very good for the good guys. “We’ve got experience playing with each other. We’re going to have a good team, a winning team. They’re trying to make a Final Four push.”

My morning hot take…

Focus is on Rice, Freeman & Ament, they want all 3 of them, talking with Hausen & Passmore but seems more secondary/backup to me. Think they take Okpara’s little brother, that would get them to 13 if you land those 4

And then I think with the 2 spots expected to be added for the limit to now be 15 I think they feel like Zeigler & Gainey are more likely to be a part of next years team than not as of today, but they’re constructing the roster as if they aren’t to be safe.

Sorry but how would this work. You're saying that ZZ and Gainey wouldn't be part of this years team, but they would be part of next year's team? I'm confused lol

 

[BatteredVol44]

Wow on that second paragraph. How would Gillespie and ZZ feel about that?

ZZ has one of the lowest egos I've ever seen he'd be ok sharing the role with JG

 

[CamVol8]

Can we expect a decision today from Rodney Rice?

Gillespie isn’t coming here to share the PG position. He wants to be the man.

My sources tell me through the weekend, and then they concentrate on Ament's decision into mid-week.

Your source must be this board. It's been discussed everyday just like you posted

Have you gotten this information from him? That's impressive i'd love to be as knowledgeable and connected as you are

 

[Batman1948]

How many freshman also come in saying they’re going to be a huge piece or have an immediate impact and then don’t?

What would you expect an incoming freshman to say? I see it in football recruits more than any sport. Almost every recruit says "Coach told me I'm their top priority"

ZZ can play off ball and you need more than one PG for minutes.

You are sharp as a tack. Can't get a thing by you.

Danny White told me "Boom" when I asked him about Rice. Then laughed and walked away.

That team without ZZ and Gainey would have a really high ceiling depending on how the defense works and what Freeman/Ament can bring. If vols can get Ament will be curious if he's closer to Brandon Miller or Jullian Phillips.

I’m not sure he’s a good enough scorer to play him off the ball for an extended amount of time with his size and shooting.

Bristol pits.

Oh my bad lol.

Gillespie has to be smart enough to know there is a possibility of the 5th year approval and that ZZ could come back. Also gotta believe Barnes was upfront about it as well. And he signed on knowing that. Also means we don't have to play a PG 38 minutes a game any longer.

Exactly. Plenty of minutes to go around. Gillespie would have 2 years left.

Sure hope so. Could use some good news on the boards today.
