Rumors flying

[Hens67]

If the Witherspoon at hand is the one from Georgia, he is a stud. He dominated at the peach jam last year. He was on the Georgia Stars team with Aminu and outplayed him. Definite sleeper.

 

[KCVolLaw]

Riek doesn't look to me as a top player after watching his video..but i'm no scout.

Maybe so. Fortunately 7'2'' means a whole lot in the basketball world.

 

[volball625]

I don't think there is any substance to this rumor. No way Riek wants to come here.

Fixed.

 

[jwells]

Fixed.

If he needs to go somewhere for a one and done, he may as well play on a good team. I'd say Bruce would take him for one year, on questions asked.

No doubt about it. You take the best players you can get, even if you can only get them for one year.

Nobody is saying he wouldn't. However, Riek has absolutely no intention of playing in college right now.

 

[jwells]

If he's not going to make the money now, he may as well wait one year. I'd say his stock would rise far more from playing a year at UT than it will from his semester or whatever at the training camp.

What questions would he ask?

 

[volball625]

What questions would he ask?

Why would you want to come to UT when the draft is waiting for?

 

[Voldaddy]

I just want to get Hopson's LOI. After that, anything else would be gravy.

 

[Dylan Stevens]

You can forget about Reik. He is going pro.

 

[VolinArizona]

Why would you want to come to UT when the draft is waiting for?

It was a joke.

 

[volball625]

It was a joke.

That was a joke as well.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Why would you want to come to UT when the draft is waiting for?

He could improve his draft stock and get that guranteed money for being a first round pick.

 

[Volsguy12]

just dont see this guy fitting in too well with our style of play.

This guy would be LUCKY to get drafted late 2nd round. He's not NBA-ready.

exactly what i was saying.:good!:

Haha, just noticed that.

Well... agree to agree.

It wouldn't matter if he did. He is not coming to Knoxville. Someone is reaching at best.

You always kill any hope that we have, you should feel ashamed.

 

[No1UtFanJmAn147]

I doubt it is true. But boy how great would it be if we were to sign Riek. And Dylan, we may be reaching about Riek or anyone else but its just the same as Duke fans saying they will get Derrick Favors.

 

[Dylan Stevens]

Hell Favors is a reach, no question there. But Reik has no interest in UT.

 

[Dylan Stevens]

Could be the big dude that just decommited from South Carolina.

 

[No1UtFanJmAn147]

Hell Favors is a reach, no question there. But Reik has no interest in UT.

I'm only kidding.. Lol

But it could be the guy that was previously commintted to South Carolina. To tell ya the truth, I doubt this rumor has any legs. I guess we will see and if its true the name will probably leak out soon.
