I have read postings on this site for many years, but was just added to the site as a poster a few days ago. I did so because I wanted to share my thoughts about Igor Milicic. I am a Charlotte graduate and my son is a UT graduate, so I am a big fan of both Charlotte and UT. I am a long time season ticket holder for Charlotte basketball and rarely miss a game. Igor Milicic is hands-down my favorite Charlotte basketball player over the last 10-12 years. He is a business man and producer on the court. He is tough…playing for the Polish national team made him tougher. He is composed. He doesn’t seek the spotlight, but wants the ball when the pressure is on. I think he has the perfect skill set and demeanor to play for Rick Barnes. I wish he weren’t in the portal, but since he is I want his new home to be in Knoxville. He needs to do whatever is best for him, and he deserves the best. A word of caution for Vol fans - he is not a 5, but is one heck of a stretch 4, so any fans excepting him to slide down for significant minutes at the 5 should adjust their thoughts. He can slide down there in certain situations, but that’s not his home.
On another matter, being from Charlotte I have seen Bishop Boswell play in person 3 times. He will be a nice addition to the UT program and I’m glad he is a Vol. Having said that, I just don’t see him making consistent contributions for a year or two. I like him a lot, and can see why the UT staff does as well, I just think that Vol fans need to be realistic about the contributions he will make in the immediate future.
