Maybe he doesn't care about championships and just wants his draft stock improved during his time in college? Just suggesting that a kids priorities aren't always in line with the fans.

That was the reason why someone suggested he was going to Auburn though, which is silly.

I was responding to someone who said he would go to Auburn to improve chance at a championship. I will say learning to dribble will help his draft stock. It became very apparent as the year went on if you just pressured him he couldn’t or wouldn’t dribble.

I don’t disagree he throws out a lot of rumors - which I don’t mind. Many are obviously nothing more than rumors. He has proven he has a source in the program and it really pisses off our SID.

I think that Basilio is unliked by the UT sports administrators because he doesn’t kowtow to them. His “sources” that feed him information are D-list level donors that are only being given certain info that can be released for public consumption. Okay. Maybe C-list donors.

The twitter scuffle with the SID after he leaked the scrimmage results was hilarious. Tom was upset over the leak and tried to act like everything he reported on it was wrong when I think it was just a minor detail.

If Satkowiak was good at his job, he’d be working with Basilio instead of having his feelings getting hurt. As much of a clown as Basilio is, he still has several TN fans listening to his program.

There’s nothing special about Pearl’s “system.”

He lets his players run freely and lets them jack up shots no matter how dumb it is.

Phillips can’t hit the side of the barn as it is.

This was one of the criticisms I had when Coach Pearl was at UT, but I accepted it in terms of he allowed them to free lance on offense because they played really hard on defense, which still seems to be his philosophy at AU.

I will say it doesn't seem as dumb when you have Chris Lofton and JaJuan Smith jacking up 3's, lol.

I am going out on a limb. Philips is not going to Auburn. No inside info, no nothing. Just the belief the kid is better off at Tennessee and he knows it. He is not stupid.

I would love to believe this, but his playing time diminished significantly down the stretch. I can’t imagine he’s not looking around.

He was playing through an extremely painful injury. Y’all are grasping at straws for bad news which is an interesting way to go through life

You failed to see the point I was making, and you also failed to give forbearance to how you know the hip pointer was still an issue. That’s an issue on your part, and I don’t go through life grasping at straws for bad news. That’s a total miscalculation on your part.

Well when the coach says the player is injured and the player says he’s injured and all the beat reporters say he’s injured I tend to take them at their word rather than looking for some conspiracy. What point were you trying to make? Other than misusing “forbearance”

Keep thinking. You’ll figure it out….or you won’t.

I talked to some folks in Auburn today and they think he’s going to UT. TIFWIW obviously but these same people told me about an hour after Wade was fired that they thought Auburn would sign Traore and Phillips and now they’ve changed their tune on Phillips.

If you’re looking for something more substantive, I posted this a couple of weeks before Phillips signed with UT and I’ll tell you now, definitively, that the Auburn rumors are baseless Twitter clout nonsense
