Odom specifically calling out that he’s thankful TDR has two years is interesting…

Maybe he knows something that’s not public yet

I don’t know how else to tell you other than he will not return to Tennessee to fill the vacant role and won’t in the future.

Speaking of father-son NBA combos, I saw this on twitter the other day.

Very Danny Neckel-ish right there :rofl:

Probably not. I’m not saying he is returning. A 2 time HC returning to his old assistant job at Tennessee would be beyond humbling. That said, the HC likes him & as you can tell by several articles/blogs on UT sports, he seems generally well liked.

Yeah, in his XM94 interview yesterday, he sure sounded like a man that expects everyone who is eligible returning.

Can you remind me where that interview was linked?

NVM found it above…..Thanks!

This is my last post on this topic. Kim English is a total jerk. He pissed off a lot of people in the AD and among boosters in his time on the hill. I have that from several sources over the last 3-4 years.

So you’re saying he basically fits right in that shithole of an athletic department?

The one above is not the interview that I was referring to but it has much of the same information. I was driving and listening to SiriusXM College Sports station which is on XM94. I don’t think one can link those ( or at least without a subscription.) Odom was talking about how he is looking forward to our next team with a solid core of returnees.

Reading between the lines on Elijah IG but sounds like he’s probably staying? Says something like ā€œstay the courseā€

didn’t check other threads or read thru all these to see if posted already.

Way too early in the portal era is so fun. Like at least for one day Gertrude will be listed as a projected starter :fire:

Does anyone remember when the Torvik roster cast thing launched last year?

Parrish makes reasonable guesses, from what I can remember from last year. He doesn’t just go with guys confirmed back.

Though, tbh, he won’t even know who’s officially in the portal, and he’ll have to completely redo the list the following day (which his bosses will view as a feature, not a bug)

I assume he’ll take into account the people that have unofficially announced through their agents

We finished 7th in his Top 25 and 1 this year. Returning 4 starters (please Sam). Should be easily top 10

I asked him about it a few days ago and he said he hasn’t started yet. Said hopefully by next week.
