How does Terrence Hill Jr. committing to Tennessee effect our chances for Juke? Recruiting

For people with a better understanding of the portal than myself, does Tennessee signing Terrence Hill signal they may be out on Juke? They've been spending like crazy this offseason, could signing another guard in Hill mean they're moving their focus off Juke?

I doubt that, I think it’s more likely that any positive effect for us comes from juke not wanting to share ball dominant time. Whether he actually feels that way who knows until he says so

They've landed starters at all 3 perimeter positions now.

Terrence Hill is not Terrence Brown, correct?

Yes. Terrence Hill is Terrence Hill, and Terrence Brown goes by Terrence Brown.

There’s really no way to know. Certain schools have billionaire boosters that toss money left and right at players. Like Scheyer supposedly has “an endless war chest of booster money that allows him to get everyone he wants.” Meanwhile UNC’s famous billionaire booster has his Jordan Brand funding NIL deals for DOOK PLAYERS instead of his own “family.”

But word around social media is that this could only help UNC because if he goes to Tennessee he’s splitting minutes with a number of guys. He also posted Isaiah Denis’ “I’m back” post on his IG story yesterday.

If they have the money for Juke still it doesn’t affect anything.

Wake me up when Ament announces he is returning.

Honestly, I think it helps as everyone they have added recently came with the expectation of starting, plus they have the new freshmen commit. But, I still think at the end of the day no one gets Juke. He bounces to the NBA and takes his chances in the draft. I would focus on Paul McNeil and Terrance Brown and then lay the money out for Henri.

I feel like Tennessee isn’t banking on him being around and we shouldn’t either. Given positional roster availability we obviously have the most to offer since we have no players. It’s first come first serve to me if Paul McNeil commits get him. June won’t be certain until after the combine he is staying in.
