Someone needs to lead. And it's not always the most talented player. Often the guy you want to go to with the game on the line and the clock winding to zero. I can't automatically say that's Wooga this year (as I could say it was Wong last season).

At this point in the season, we definitely lack the on-court leadership that those two very good/experienced players provided.

Nobody, at this point, has a clue on Jakai. Why would he not have hit the Portal if he thought he was "blocked" here, or if L gave him no reason to think he'd see much action? A real mystery.

And a few more I'm sure if we thought harder. Reggie?

Quinerly is, or shortly will be, 25 iirc. Right in the UM mold, e.g., Kadji.

Any local kid you would take a shot on? Project, or otherwise?

Wish I could agree in full but IMO Wooga is too stiff to play the 2. Plus, as you say, there's the ball handling ...

I wish Bens all the best too but .... you gotta be kidding.

No Spencer or the like means more PT and a probable starting role for Bensley. I don't see Poplar moving off that corner position he plays so well. If George comes in and blows people away, thats another possibility that could change a lot.

Could he possibly be deterred by our recruitment of George? Sounded like L sees George in the Wong (SG) role.

Not many coaches are that concerned with HS recruits these days (except for the obvious standout, one and done types). They see the Portal as the way to get proven players and I can't disagree.

And that's fine. Best case for Joseph is he might well be backing up both Pack and George. I don't think anyone has any clue on Jakai's capabilities. Same with Casey. If Nwoko is not ready this season (especially early), Casey could get back up time at both the 4 and 5. Might take a little of...

Read somewhere recently he was likely to sign with Huggins at West Virginia.

If he's poison in the locker room, that's a whole different thing. Otherwise, he's still a highly sought commodity by top programs with the need for a 2G. 247 reported yesterday that UConn, Arizona, Baylor, Kansas State, Illinois, Texas and Louisville apparently have interest. How much, we'll...

Matter of opinion. I'd bet there's at least 100 programs right now who'd take him in a heartbeat. 17 ppg in an off year. That type of scorer doesn't grow on trees.

Love def takes too many bad shots. He is also streaky as **** but, when he's on, he's pretty good. Have no idea what kind of a locker room presence he is, for good or bad.

Love is not a fit here because of Pack's presence. Period. Comparing Jakai and Love, though, is ridiculous. Jakai may never see the court here while Love is an All-Conference level talent.

Love wants to shoot the ball --- a lot! With Pack already here, don't see Love as a fit. The game is still only played with one basketball.

Phillips shooting is highly questionable (like pretty much everyone else on the Vols bricklaying team).

Lubin seems to have a lot of potential. I like the fact Brey subbed him in (replacing Laszewski, I'd guess) for defense down the stretch in tight games. We can use defenders with long wingspans. . Offensively, at this point, he's a slasher, looking to attack the basket. Has a midrange shot...
