Ament in the Bama Game

I had to work last night and just had an opportunity to watch the Bama game. I had avoided Volquest and social media so I wouldn’t ruin knowing the result. I then check in here and have close to 30 people calling me out for previously ridiculing Ament’s poor play and calling him a bust. As a fan, I want Tennessee to win. And, as a Tennessee fan, I want our highest NIL player on campus to be successful. So yesterday was awesome. He looked like a different player. And I hope this is who he is for the remainder of the season. To the obnoxious dorks who think they “got me” or something by him stepping up and playing well, you didn’t. I stand by my criticisms, because they were objectively true. And with new information, that opinion may change. I hope it does. But the reality remains, this is an unranked basketball team and is so in large part to Ament’s poor play. Your stupid “you’re an idiot” campaign says much more about your ridiculous low expectations than it does about my analysis of the team’s play thus far this season. Flame away, ding dongs!

Calling Lanier and Ament busts in back to back years. Heck of a run you’re on. Maybe you can reflect on your dumbassery and be better in 2027.

Just eat the crow. You were criticizing a true freshman for not being KD. It’s ok to be like hoped for better start but when you call him a bust after a few games you are an idiot. At that point no one knows. Maybe learn from it and put some salt and pepper on that crow.

I’ll gladly change my opinion if he continues to play like this.

So now you're reserving judgement and waiting to see if he meets your expectations? Where was the reservation in the ridicule?

You did not learn from your flaming of Chaz Lanier. Then you began bashing a super young VOLUNTEER who had only played, what, a total of 15 college basketball games. You repeatedly claimed him to be a "bust". Ament will not carry this Vol team to the Final Four. But that does not make him a "Bust". Not by a long shot. Be a man and eat your crow.

He will not play like that every game. No one does. That does not make him a "bust" as you claim. He is a true freshman who will be highly drafted. You don't live in reality.

Your issue is thinking your opinion has value. Calling someone a bust that early in the year is a terrible take. If Lanier and Ament are busts than your standards are impossible.

When you posted he was bust he had played 12 games and 1 conference game. At the time he was averaging 15/7 which is pretty far from a bust. Dont you think that is stupid and 12 year old girl emotional? In SEC games he is averaging 17.8/5.1 - in the last 5 he is 19.2/6.8 What did you expect? He is just out of HS and is playing facing the basket for the first time in his career. Could you also explain why Chaz was a bust? gbo

You are a massive chungus and I typically feel dumber (maybe even guilty?) after reading your petulant hot takes. We’d all benefit if you bricked your account permanently.

He's the highest paid NIL athlete on campus. Duke didn't have to wait for half the season to pass for Boozer to show his worth.

lol. Boozer outweighs Ament by nearly 50 pounds and was physically ready the day he set foot on campus. Ament is a 6’10” beanpole who anyone with a functioning brain could have told you would take more time to develop.

Not sure the relevance of this post. Did we choose Ament over Boozer? We got who we could get. Ament is averaging 16 & 7. What numbers were you expecting? On this team I'm not sure why Ament would be the one to draw anyone's ire other than jealousy of the $ he's getting, which of course you're alluding to. Where would this team be without him?
