Using NIL to pay his tuition. He is going to be a Walk-on. This came out of nowhere.

We have a stacked roster for next season.

After talking with some people, Tennessee apparently didn't think James' return was much of a possibility until this weekend. On Sunday he reached out to some people around the program to explore the feasibility of returning as a walk-on and by Tuesday it was something that was starting to feel real as people looked into the logistics.

After having several workouts with NBA teams including the Portland, Dallas and Milwaukee, as well as attending the G-League combine James didn't get the feedback that made him comfortable staying in the draft. There were several teams, allegedly, who were interested in signing him to a two-way contract, but it doesn't sound like anyone gave him a guarantee that they would take him in the second round.

Had James not used up his (initial) eligibility and stepped away from the team and all team activities he would not have been allowed to return as a walk-on per NCAA rules.

Woah!!! Sounds like one of our starters will be a walk on! Crazy good news. Hopefully he can stay healthy for his final year.

We lead for 5 five stars right now. Just gotta close them out! This class is going to be awesome.
Wingo, Mathews, Ross, Franklin, nwaneri

Does anyone know how much JJJ is making in NIL deals? I think this is just a smart move for him financially right now. Fulkerson would have made some dough if he could have stayed another year as well.

My boss asked me why I only get sick on workdays. I said it must be my weekend immune system.

Lovely.

Rather him not return. More excited for Knecht/Ledlum

Karl Marx hated Earl Grey. Said all proper tea is theft.

JJJ is back, baby!

JJJ is back, baby!

This will make some people very happy and some people will be infuriated. I am in the former category and I am here to enjoy the carnage.

 

[BigSteve09]

A 10.16???

Edit: it got deleted. we offered a UK WR transfer that allegedly ran a 10.16 100m, but I am skeptical now

And here we go.

Meh.

Gonna be taking minutes from two transfers who are healthier and arguably better.

OK. You are entitled to your opinion. I think his experience, defense and leadership will be great for this team.

Just had a gamecock fan try and talk chit to me when he noticed my dog in his Vols collar.

Literally had this air of superiority…..

God I can’t wait for their upcoming trainwreck season.

I hope we score 100 on them

 

[TrippieRedd]

Neverrrrr

would have been fine with a noon kick at Florida if I'm being honest, but I'm looking forward to an early pivotal night game to set the tone for the season
