    If a 6'8 kid can't handle the ball or shoot outside of 8 feet, I dont know what you are supposed to do with him. Olivier playing the 3 or stretch 4 isn't something I want to see. Him pounding the glass and learning a little jump hook would be my goal.

    I was actually about to make a similar comment. If you watch clips of EJ prior to Tennessee, he definitely wasn't a post player. I think we were trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

    I actually find some comfort in that, as it suggests a lack of complacency.

    as to that, i think there's potential in him. it just hasn't manifested

    Potential maybe. I dont know. I'm also not going to pretend every team doesn't have misses, especially when recruiting role players. Team can only have so many chiefs so to speak. Only so many scorers. Have to have role players to set picks, play D and rebound. He should be able to bring that with his size and build.

    I thought we always recruited him as at stretch forward. Who would only need to slide to the 4 as needed. Guy was listed at 6’7 or shorter on most sites.

    Rough day in the transfer portal for the Vols. Three big guys of note off the board to SEC teams. Walker Kessler to Auburn (yuck). Garrison Brooks to Miss. St. Liam Robbins to Vandy.

    We need to hit on Jonas Aido (good news is we hired the coach who recruited him to Marquette) and Brandon Huntley-Hatsfield in the freshman class and another big in the transfer portal.

    Not good at all. And there was talkKessler might follow Powell...I guess he did in a way.

    Even those 2 aren’t enough. You gotta get a quality big transfer - are there any even left now? I assume Robbins has some connection to Vandy? Kessler seems too slow to play for Auburn.

    I agree Kessler is a horrible fit for Pearl. Good.

    Think Kessler has a relative in auburn and pearl will put him outside and let him launch. I want a stretch 4 as well but we need a true post

    Brandon Huntley-Hartsfield may be committing this week. We look good here.

    And we got a Rivals prediction for Aidoo, who cancelled his UNC Zoom visit
