Bediako staying in the draft. Big loss for Bama who also lost Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney, Jaden Bradley, Nimari Burnett, and Noah Gurley.

They could also potentially lose Mark Sears, Jahvon Quinerly...both to the draft. They've not done much in recruiting or the portal to curtail those losses, either. To top it off, they had to replace their entire assistant coaching staff.

Next year should be a testament to Oats's coaching ability. It will take perhaps a small miracle to make the NCAAT. They potentially lose their top 6 scorers, and perhaps 8 of their top 9.

Yeah, this next year will be interesting for Oats’ team. I hear he’s been recruiting the Rend Lake, Illinois area pretty hard. Lots of athletic guys there that would be a perfect fit in the Bama system.

Oh lord please let Kobe Brown transfer out of conference. Don’t wanna see anymore of that guy.

You gotta be a baller to be named after a legend, and Kobe Brown certainly is. I have a lot of respect for his game and what he did against us. I also don't want to see anymore of him.

Every time I take a look at Roth’s top teams for next year, I get so mad or I lmao.

Has us behind Ark, Bama, UK, and A&M smh idiot.

And usually he takes a long time to update our roster

I think it's a case of a guy who doesn't really pay attention to Tennessee

We are easily a top 10 team

9-0. 3 more outs and the LVs are in the Workd Series after missing the last 7. National TV - ABC.

Payton Gottshall with the complete game shut out! Buh Bye UT, jr.

Lady Vols versus Bama (5) or Northwestern (12) next week. Northwestern leads 1 game to zero. Hopefully they end Bama’s season tonight (ESPN, 9pm).

Josef Newgarden. From Nashville. Yaasss!

Does anyone know when practice will start? Or when we will start to know how the newcomers, freshman and transfers, are doing?

Off-season workouts have already begun for the returning players. New guys likely arrive in early June for the first session of summer school. Transfers are already listed on the roster at utsports.com.

Okay sweet, I’m excited to start hearing some things about the team. Since our roster is already set, there hasn’t been much to talk about here.

Good. Some thought he was going to Arkansas

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

Truth hurts. Mashak has way more athletic ability and if that Northern Colorado shooter is as good of a shooter as some think taking minutes away is dumb. If you shift him to the 4 you take minutes away from Awaka and Ledlum, maybe a small ball 5 but if Estrella is as good as advertised I don't want JJJ playing over him.
I dont believe in the roster personally but if some of these guys are as good as I was told they were then the last thing we need is James taking minutes from anyone.

You've never believed in our roster, so no surprise there.

Eh, other years I had more faith in the players rather than the coaching, but it's time to turn over a new leaf with the roster.

He’s a walk-on, can you name a better walk-on in CBB than JJJ?

Guess I missed all those posts touting those rosters.

Turn over a new leaf with the roster? We are about to have 8 new players on the team. How much more do you want to turn it over? Go cheer for UK if you want an entirely new band of mercenaries every year.

You know as well as I do he's gonna get put right back in a starting role and play 40 minutes a game.
