Ament to Vols

Apparently, Ament and his “camp” are waiting until everyone spends their entire budgets!

Huge mistake IMO!
That would be hilarious honestly but there will always be a desperate school that will pay up. Maybe not as much as their plan thought. If he waited until like August or right before if a star player gets hurt or something he may be able to really stick it to a team.

He's a good player no doubt but the questions on his ability to dominate as a freshman in the SEC was brought up lots of times while we were in the hunt. I also don't think he is a big impact player as a freshman. Very few freshman typically are in my opinion.
I am thinking a lighter version of Asa Newell. I think he will be very good at UT and I know all of us would have loved for him to have picked us instead.
 
He said Barnes sees him as a one and done player. And cited another guy Barnes helped go 1 and done. Kevin Durant.

Call me crazy, but I don't see "He sent KD 1 and done" as a good indicator. KD is one of the 50 greatest players ever. If my grandma had coached that Texas team, Durant would have been 1 and done.

And it was almost 20 years ago.
 
All KD ever needed was experience and muscles. And he got by fine without the muscles.
I'd say at least one good reason he went to Tennessee was because of their Strength and Conditioning coach/program. They'll have him a little tougher in the next 6 months, but I say he is probably still going to get bumped around of he tries a lot of 4 action. Probably just use him as a jumbo wing.
Looks like they going in hard for Rodney Rice, too.
They land him and that's 3 big pieces on offense. I bet the last guy they go after is a defensive guy.
Been seeing Duke Miles be mentioned.
If so, those 4 guys on the court with one their 3 bigs, and they going to trouble next year for sure.
 
From an article on ESPN about his commitment.....

"I feel like we'll be a national championship team," Ament said. "We're going to go on that kind of run. The coaches told me they plan to use me as an offensive weapon and then develop my defensive side. They don't assign me a position. They joke about it, but they see me as just a player. I can do everything on both ends of the floor."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tennessee still looks rather weak. They got Okpara back and add Gillespie, Ament, Carey from Vandy. They'll need more to be a contender. Right now, Texas, Vandy, Ole Miss, Missouri, Auburn, Bama, Arkansas, and Kentucky are better.

To me, Tennessee and Florida need a little more also to be a tournament teams. Then the rest don't look like they would make it - UGA, LSU, MSU, Oklahoma, USC, A&M
 
That's not official yet. I think he will go with the money but also factor in the competition for playing minutes.
But I agree he will get pushed around in the SEC.

Knox of AR has entered the NBA draft but is keeping the option of coming back. I expect him to come back for one more year unless he gets a guaranteed contract.


DJ, TB, and Richmond all are coming back.
As long as that goof is still the coach you could give him the 92 dream team and he still couldn't win $hit with them.

Doesn't he understand that one of the steps to be a national championship team you have to make it to a Final 4. He definitely isn't going to take them where no UT team has gone before...................
