    I know Momcilovic is testing the NBA waters, but is him also entering the portal one of the names you guys were waiting for?

    Would be nice to keep the Balkan 4 and Jake. Any indication Andrej or Mirk are moving on? (Sorry if mentioned on the thread already)

    So he’s filling the spot Petrovic just vacated. Assuming Petrovic is 100% gone and not just in Serbia because he’s missing home.

    1) Newton is not the only transfer that made a difference. Cam Spencer was the second leading scorer and starting point guard of a national championship winning team. He also shot 44% from 3 point range on 5.6 attempts a game. 2) saying 5/6 are NBA players is disingenuous. Sanogo played 13...

    No matter what Duke does, I’ll never forget Coach K wasn’t retiring until after we gave him a 2 piece and a biscuit. Now, in the smart part of my brain, I know that wasn’t the reason. But in the Illini fan part of my brain, Coach K retired because we whipped his !!!.

    Answering the back half of your statement, I don’t think it’s necessarily that we DONT have the money to spend for him. I think it’s that Brad has a certain budget to work with and spending on him means that budget is stretched. I believe that was the point in taking the 3 star is he costs...

    College Fandom Landscape in Your Location

    It’s a weird melting pot for sure. I think you hit the nail on the head though that so many people are more about Tennessee pride. That and the Ole Miss graduates don’t seem to end up in Memphis by and large.

    Tennessee's Ziegler sues for 5th year of eligibility

    That’s right. It was the 20-21 season that was free. Man, getting Feliz back would’ve been fun!

    Tennessee's Ziegler sues for 5th year of eligibility

    Absolutely not. I remember thinking at the time it was unfair to us. We got our !!! kicked and would have anyway, but we worked hard all season and he gets declared ineligible at state? Who was the rule supposed to punish is the question I continually go back to. I understand the need for a...
