Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[Weezer]

FWIW a guy on VQ that always has good info said he thinks we get Hunter.

IF it happens...

Ramey would likely be the day 1 starter and would be by several magnitudes the most proven and steady pg on the team. The year before he got into the Beard offense he averaged 12/4as/3reb and shot 41% from 3 and 83.5 percent from the FT line, his numbers were going up each year. He has a low turnover rate as well. Plus he's a proven veteran vs the best of the best competition. He near single-handedly beat us this year in Austin with his 18 points on a day when Texas only scored 51. We should have legitimate final four hopes if we landed him.

Agree with this.

The fact that he didn’t commit to Texas right after his visit the way Awaka did to us is def. not a bad thing

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I will find that VQ poster and I will shame him if he is getting my hopes up only to be shattered….

Like if Texas were the clear cut leader you would have thought a visit would have sealed it

I think everyone was just guessing by whatever visit was the last one. It seems to be a lot like the Phillips recruitment where not a lot of info is getting out. I hope we land him. It would be huge.

for your viewing pleasure.

Doesnt he kind of have a low release point?

Same with the Kansas one

he hit some clutch shots in the ncaa tourney game against lsu

All I’ve heard is he came into the portal looking for a 7 figure Nil deal. Tennessee laughed and he was looking at other schools but none offered him what he was looking for so he came back around and we offered him something. Kansas doesn’t have room for him. I think it’s us or Texas leaning towards us.

I want to believe. Did you get that from a legitimate source, or was it some chatter you picked up? No need to name your source.

I’ve seen reports we gave Phillips a 2m NIL. If he’s worth that, then hunter’s worth a mill.

I don’t believe the 2-million number. I’ve only seen Auburn fans throwing that number around and it sounds more like sour grapes and an excuse they can use to defend why Pearl didn’t win this battle.

I don’t believe it either, BUT I personally think Hunter is worth the same, if not more.

 

[Volfan1000]

The waiting game sucks. I hope Hunter makes his decision soon. If he picks us, awesome. If he doesn't, then we need to continue looking for a quality portal PG. It's the only piece we're missing.

That would be icing on top of a solid recruiting class if Hunter selects Tennessee.

whaaat no way we laughed at someone like Hunter

I don’t think that he meant laughed in the literal sense.

Maybe we didn’t, but I still find it hard to believe some of these numbers floating around in NIL deals. If I had hundreds of millions of dollars I still wouldn’t give a kid $1million to play for my favorite team. Just seems like a stupid way to part with my money

A lot is probably just folks who were already making donations and will instead just lower donations and push that to Spyre.

Speaking of this topic…

How transparent is the Spyre spending? I’m being lazy instead of looking into it. So pardon me for that. I’ll get around to it eventually, but value some of ya’lls knowledge on it too

But before I drop a significant sum of money to something like Spyre, I’d like to know where my money is going.

Typically not the biggest fan of donating to for profit companies

I’m not a donor to Spyre so I couldn’t answer that, I know @golfballs has had similar questions.

Anyone have a screenshot or direct quote on the Hunter post?
