Figured ON was leaving but figured he'd end up in Europe. Not sure another year in college will do him much good.

He’ll probably still end up in Europe, honestly. But if you have eligibility left, it’s best to keep your options open.

He just needs to get his mind right. If he hasn't done it by now .......

 

[Orange_Crush]

I think I'm about to turn Chizz off. Anyone who played ball into college and was never taught the "yah, we all make errors; snap, clear, win the next play" attitude and was instead taught the "wallow in the idea that college players make mistakes" attitude instead...

Well, something is suspect there.

Man, I have no clue what this means.

Can you translate so us 45 yo's can understand?

Just heads up, hard of hearing due to years of marriage.

Good luck to him, but we will be better off.

This may not have been his choice. Have to make room.

Was ON's game against Duke the greatest Tennessee Basketball NCAA Tournament performance?

Which part didn't translate? The reference to chizzlevol, the ignore feature, or to the "snap and clear" attitude inherent in any successful athlete?

 

[Vols4us]

Yes - it is at least in the Top Five.

Of course, it is the Tennessee way to not being able to be even close to mediocre the next time he was on the court.

I'd say its definitely in the Top 5.

I forget the exact stat, but it's on a narrow list of UT players to average like 10pts, 5reb, and 5ast a game or something.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Was ON's game against Duke the greatest Tennessee Basketball NCAA Tournament performance?

This year? I would have to say yes.

 

[SoilVol]

Happy for ON. Hope he goes somewhere and balls, as long as it's not a rival. If he goes to a rival he's dead to me.

Dude put in his time, got his degree, constantly improved. Change of scenery and a different coaching scheme may demonstrate a different part of his game to scouts. Plus he could get a masters degree.

Was ON's game against Duke the greatest Tennessee Basketball NCAA Tournament performance?

Statistically? I'd say Texas is ON's best performance in his career. He had 27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and was 12 of 15 from the field.

But Duke being on a neutral court in the NCAA Tournament I'd say that performance is probably going to be what people rememember.

Is it the best Tennessee Basketball performance? I'd say no.

Jarnell Stokes had 26 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists against Umass and went 12 of 13 from the line.

Wayne Chism had 22 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block against 2 seed Ohio State in 2010 to advance to the Elite Eight being that performance lead to us making our only Elite Eight it's my best TN basketball tournament performance.

 

[ConwayFitty]

No worries, mate.
Tennessee football should have strongest legs in SEC with commitment from 2023 Memphis K

Works for me. I like the Aussie style lower punts. They are more unpredictable for the return guy and can lead to a muff

that was the only tournament performance that I could think of to stack against ON's

I think ON's performance being mostly a 2nd half blow-for-blow with Duke makes it seem more significant.

 

[Wickman]

 

[BigSteve09]

That's a pretty significant Titans presence

Wild stat that Hubbs threw out:
- highest number of draft picks since 06
- third highest number of draft picks since 2000

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Hyatt didn’t run the 40 at the pro day yesterday. He said hamstring felt good but based off feedback from scouts he didn’t feel he needed to run it again. Said if he did though he would have been in the 4.3s.

Oh it's the best performance of a UT player under Barnes without question. Had it been in the Sweet Sixteen or had Duke been a higher seed with Coach K then I think that puts it over the top, since it was a Blue Blood school and basically a single half of work.

But Chism doing that to #2 Ohio State to get us to the Elite Eight and it being a revenge matchup (they put us out 2 years prior) for me at least that's the top of the hill at this point.

Yeah I think 4.4 laser timed is plenty fast enough, he's more than just a speed guy but he's also a top end speed guy not an out of the block. Where he shines is once he's up to speed no one is running him down.

Have you seen any numbers posted? Wondering what Tillman ran.

The article I saw was Hyatt specific. Haven’t seen anything on the others yet.

The Stars Were Back in Knoxville for the Tennessee Pro Day (Recap) | Rocky Top Insider

Five players began the day by running the 40-yard dash in the middle of the field: Tillman, Bumphus, Carvin, Smith, and Page III. Each of the five players ran twice.

None of the players had any kind of major slip-up, and each run looked fairly good from behind the camera lens. Cedric Tillman, who posted a 4.54 time at the Combine, looked quite fast as he ran down the field. There was no announcement of the times on the field.

ON transferring could be simply a case of trying to get a Masters at another institution in a field of study not available at UT.

 

[VolNash17]

Idk about anyone else but I always get nervous when a Tennessee guy is back to field a punt. I always tell myself he better not fumble this. Every time. Reminds me of it happening Vs Ole Miss 2021. Stopped them out the gates forced a punt and Tennessee fumbles it right down within 10 yards of the goal line to setup Ole Miss for a score. Infuriating

 

[VolNash17]

Give the baseball team another year and you’ll see those guys dominating everyone. They’re trying to mesh. It’ll take time. Can’t snap fingers and make all the new people have chemistry like the last group developed over time
