jeez

  1. Impossible to say how far they may go 13 months from now. I think you’ll see Bailey play a lot at point even though he’s not a true PG. I don’t know how the rotations will shake out but I would guess that Keon and Jaden will start. Vescovi and/or James may come off the bench. I would think...

    1. The Volquest chat...
    2. ...than Grant. No one could have predicted that Grant was going to put in the work to change his body and develop his game like he did. If Olivier attacks it the same way he'll have a chance to be really good. Got a long way to go to get to what the finished Tennessee product of Grant...

    1. Basketball Freshmen
    2. Pember can definitely play on the wing. Really nice skills for a guy his size. Gaines needs to improve his handle but is a wing with potential . I’m Hearing that they really like Olivier and his versatility

    1. Gaines gets the the Jordan Bone treatment...
    2. ...on the road. Him playing 12-15 minutes tonight doesn't change the outcome in any way and maybe he benefits from being out there. I think Olivier plays more simply b/c they have so many fewer options in the post as opposed to who Barnes can play on the perimeter. At the end of the day I...

    1. Bball Question
    2. I would guess Turner, Bowden, Josiah, ORN (based off what I've been told) and maybe Johnson or Plavsic based on recent reports.

    1. Hoops Q For Rob
    2. ...Some I've mentioned in the War Room or on podcasts consistently that the staff has been really pleased with have been Jalen Johnson and Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua. Josiah James is as good as advertised. They like the potential they see in Gaines. They think that Plavsic will be at the minimum...

    1. Hoops recruiting news, Vols get a commitment
    2. Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua has committed to Tennessee. Hopefully will catch up with him after school today to get a story on the decision but he called the coaches this morning and committed. 6-9 guy that Barnes offered immediately after seeing him for the first time in February. Lots of upside

    1. Correction on hoops recruiting note
    2. i misunderstood an earlier message I got on Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua being on an official visit today. . Not here this weekend, looking at coming next weekend. Sorry for the confusion

    1. Quick hoops recruiting note
    2. Dont know that I’m going to be able to get an interview with Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua based off how he and his family have handled things to this point with his recruitment. With that said, have heard that the visit was excellent. Based off what I’m hearing this afternoon I think Tennessee...

    1. Rob, you left us hanging in the WR with ORN
    2. Had someone who has seen everyone this week that I trust tell me Olivier is gonna be a player.. I Think Lamonte and Josiah will be primary ball handlers and will be just fine. I don’t think Gaines and ORN will be primary ball handlers.

    1. I know its football time but a quick BBall ???
    2. I could possibly see them playing that way some of the kids earn time. I don’t have a firm idea of all the combinations Rick might use right now. He’s going to have some options.

    1. Few hoops things from today
    2. ...rim. He’s better for sure. Jalen Johnson’s shot looks better and he doesn’t appear as tentative. He’s going to play a role. Really like Olivier Nkamhoua. At 6-foot-8, 225 he’s going to be a really versatile player for this program. He’s working at the four right now and looks like he’ll...
