2024 Target List

Maybe Barnes really likes Mashack / Gainey / Carr as our #2 if Lanier doesn’t work out? Not like we don’t have any options at the 2 without getting a portal addition.
Pretty sure Hammond is a HS prospect and not a portal player (and more of a 1 than a 2).

Other than scholarship limit I’m not sure why his recruitment would be effected by anything Lanier does.

Hope not. If we miss out on Chaz. I’d be contacting Kadary or Watkins to play the 3

ZZ / Shack / Watkins or Kadary / Igor / Okpara
 
Still curious why we did a 180 over the weekend with him.
I think the staff was split on it and ultimately thought Boswell could give them as much if not more this year if needed and that they could get someone better next year. Don’t think it necessarily means they won’t consider PG still, but opted to pass on Hammond. I’ll reserve final judgment to see how the roster finalizes.

Yeah if Boswell works out as a solid true point guard option - we are after some good shooting guards in the next year's class with guys like Darius Adams, Amari Evans, JR Leonard... And we have been recruiting those three guys for a while and according to on3 all 3 of those SG's likes Tennessee. Having a 6'4" PG could be a big blessing if he can run it in the college game - we know he has the defense. We would be tall
 
Maybe it's just being rescheduled? Perhaps Lanier wants to get things worked out sooner rather than later and he wants to come on in for a visit? One thing puzzles me in Lanier's recruitment. I keep reading all our eggs are in his basket. Maybe I'm just old school, but that's not an ideal position to be in when negotiating money. Lanier kinda has us by the short hairs in this "negotiation". Where do we turn if he asks for an obscene amount of money? Do we bite the bullet and pay his asking price or do we move on? To whom would we turn?
All seem like valid questions. Forgive my ignorance, but do we have a recruiting coordinator or is recruiting handled by respective position coaches? Also, if Lanier is as good as advertised and worth the wait, who on staff is tasked with closing the deal?
 
So can we put a list of remaining 2024 targets on the board with their positions? Obviously Lanier. Is the Detroit Mercy kid a legit target? Any high school kids?

I posted that international guy yesterday, not sure if there’s any interest though.


Wouldn’t mind the Detroit kid since he’s a sophomore. You could get him to redshirt then a step into a starting role the following year. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind redshirting, it’s that or go back to a 1-31 team lol

I don't know if they're targets, but:

1) Marcus Tankersly: 6-4, G, Detroit Mercy (2 years)
2) Aleksander Gavalyugov: 6-2, PG, Bulgaria (4 years)

Feel free to add anyone else we might be looking at.
@bleedingTNorange
I posted about Aleksandar the other day.

Have you heard anything about him or any other guys? (Only asking because he would be a incoming freshman, if it was any other class I wouldn’t ask)

I’ve not, but I can ask…like myself and SF have said, the staff is going to be pretty quiet/tight lipped until a Lanier decision.
 
Fwiw Tankersley is a portal guy
I know, I put Detroit Mercy and 2 years by his name. I was just listing any potential targets we may have left on the board, not just HS guys.

But honestly, I'd prefer a high school/foreign 4-year guy over a reach portal guy. Hopefully, we can find another ZZ/Awaka type over the summer. Or maybe 2.
