Uros Plavsic commits to Tennessee

Until Uroš is given his waiver, I am officially using diacritics in my name every time I write it. Not just on VolNation. EVERYWHERE.

Checks. Graffiti tags. That pad thing at 7-Eleven.

I'm talking umlauts, accents, titlos, apostrophes, and the degrees symbol.

I am now RëâdCT'.

(On an unrelated note, I vowed in 2015 to wear my Mets jersey everyday until they won the World Series. They lost. And have not been back. Jersey is starting to stink after 4 years. Just sayin'.)

Signed
RëęæådCT'

I don’t understand what kind of unfairness is created by allowing athletes who didn’t play at all to be able to transfer and play immediately

The original mission of the NCAA was to protect football players that were dying on the field. Now those hypocrites have done a 180 and EVERYTHING is now about stuffing the bank accounts of administrators and coaches with the revenue from TV deals.

It's beyond ridiculous that SAs can have their scholarships taken away in any year, but if they want to transfer this is how they are treated.

Quade Green for Washington just got a waiver to be eligible immediately. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to play until after Christmas. It also means he will be playing against us which makes Washington even better.

Crazy. Uros should get his waiver if Quade Green got one. Jeez

If Plavsic has to wait until next season to play. that gives Kent and ORN and Pember a chance to earn playing time and help Fulkerson inside.

Bless our hearts if that happens. We will get abused in the paint. Folks will go after Kent in pick and rolls and post ups. Kent makes the guys in the video below look fast.

If Green could get a waiver then really what’s the point of even arbitrating these things?

I wonder what makes people think Plavsic is going to be our savior if he gets eligible? Obviously he is big and looks like he has great potential but the coaches have said he is not even the defensive evpresence Alexander was. I hope he gets eligible but I don’t think he will he much better than what we gave at least this year.

No one thinks that. But you cant complain about 7'1 who can stretch the floor from 3.

It’s a big deal for depth if nothing else. Otherwise you’ll be seeing Kent at the 5 and Pons at the 4 a lot.

Washington's front court is huge. would be nice to have at least one guy to match them in size.

I expect him to take a lot of space in the middle and alter some shot arcs, 5 solid fouls. Hopefully he will be eligible soon.

Evina Westbrook who transferred from Tennessee to UConn got denied and they are appealing. Geno just said UT mistreated Evina and that Holly was mean to her what a big lie. Anyway Uros may have to sit seems the NCAA the longer they wait on a case the less likely you get approved. They been on the Evina case since May.
