Geez us...I hate that

Shame, he could've been a good role player for us this season but frankly I'd rather see what Hawkins can do since we'll have him 2 years rather than one for Rhett.

Hawkins can bench 300+

340 if we're being exact.

At this point, rebounding is the strongest part of King's game. King is the player that you want Rhett to be but he has more upside and three more years to develop. It would be shorsighted to bring in a one year transfer and give him some of King's minutes, we need to play King and develop him.

Yep, King's tempo adjusted rebounding numbers are MUCH better than Rhett's. King would be categorically better than Rhett at either the 3 or the 4.

We don't need to play King at the 4, so I don't mind bringing Rhett in to spell Austin and Hawkins. But King is the better player, in just about every facet of the game.

Yes, IMO King was our best player last year.....He and Dixon saved our butts in crucial games....It wasn't Shaq or Austin that made critical or crucial plays in crunch-time......But, don't forget the fact that there is no need to compare King and MJ. King needs to acclimate to the three, as he is a gr8 threat from three......Rhett has a nice midrange game,especially for his size and we desperately need that added to our offense to open up things for Austin and Shaq. So, if you can imagine adding MJ to what King/Austin and Shaq can do......That's outlook is promising for the Tiger team....It doesn't matter who is better that who.

I don't want to limit King or Iversons development and impact on this team.....But to have to motivate Austin every game is ridiculous and if Shaq doesn't work real hard to better his post game, we will be in a similar predicament as last year....those are my worries and I love the Fact that MJ can play multiple positions; is a leader and has a decent outside game and loves to rebound...Whether is starts for us or not, well that's neither her e nor there,.....But he would play the most minutes out of anyone...... It's Friday...Good Friday....Eat;Pray;Love;Enjoy<LIFE

You act like we have lazy big men

Good one....I absolutely love Austins game and what he brings to the Tigers. I think the most glaring issue with our team as a whole, not just the BIGS, Is the lack of further development from a coaching perspective. That, coupled with certain players having privileges, allowing certain players to make more mistakes than others threatens the team development as a whole, I think!

If you can't see the progression in Austin's game from game one through the season then you need to take the blinders off.

Did you even read the thread? Rhett was looking for major minutes, basically a starters role. He wasn't going to get that here with Austin and Shaq in place but there was an outside chance maybe he would come anyway

BIG DOM. if he's all in, he can be as good as any out there. my only worry - is he all in?

shaq, Austin, and dom.

dayum

Guess AK promised him what he wanted to hear Would have been a huge plus here but we will be ok Mississippi as usual will be cellar dwellers

He should be a good complement to Coleby....

Do NOT for one second think that Rhett will not be instrumental in an NIT appearance next year.

I'll do this before 80s can...


MJ Rhett having a monster game in the tourney

7/5 this year average, but killing it tonight vs BYU in the play-in game.

I'd completely forgotten that he went to Ole Miss.

Well there you go. I have no idea if we actually offered, but relevant based on past conversations here at the least.

I know we tried for him, as did UTK.

But without Dixon and Pellom the Tigers are probably in the NIT or one and done.

No, we would have been better because we would have had Tarik Black instead of David Pellom.

We may have also had Antonio Barton instead of Michael Dixon. Barton was eligible at TN without having to sit out a year,, so he was either a graduate transfer, or he was immediately eligible under the "pushed out" exception.
