UT Switching to Nike

[ManningBerry#1]

All for it I always hated addidas. My high school were addidas and their stuff was garbage would go through 3 pairs of ball shoes in a season.

With that much history with the brand I would think you would be able to spell it correctly.

Adidas is the correct way, just saying.

Jordan has special contracts with friends of his that are alumni from the schools. Some other schools just have the jerseys but don't get the shoes that come with it.

Gotcha

This is a much bigger boost for the basketball program than the football program IMO. The real winners are the fans. Much more will be available to purchase than before.

Will this move benefit basketball recruiting?

It certainly won't hurt.

This could be big for UT. A note from Wes Rucker crazy how much pull Nike has when it comes to basketball.

Along the same line, Rucker tweeted this:

@wesrucker247: #Vols were point-blank told to not waste their time with some hoops prospects in the past because they didn't have the swoosh. It's a fact.

Whoa that's really interesting. Makes sense for sure.

That's pathetic on many levels.
