‘21 CA SG Jahmai Mashack [UT commit 9/8/20]

[bleedingTNorange]

Love how the culture of faith is mentioned by so many of these players

well done good and faithful servant, Rick Barnes!

Guess the guy knows what he’s doing

 

[bleedingTNorange]

And yes, Mashack specifically mentions Jabari Smith & Ryan Mutombo by name...would be a hell of a fall signing class.

 

[top5vols]

#9 on Rivals

Nah, he just came here to coast into retirement - lol

 

[BruinVol]

Guess the guy knows what he’s doing

Sure he does. Wish those middle years since he got here were better but he’s got his stride now as long as the one and done doesn’t become an issue.

 

[Roustabout]

Pretty unlikely Johnson, Springer and James are all here next year.

I think two of those three are likely still here. You’re adding Chandler.

 

[golfballs]

Love him talk about the culture. If you have an immediate buy-in it makes a big difference in development and team dynamic

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I think two of those three are likely still here. You’re adding Chandler.

And the following year probably lose 2-3 more, landing another guard was imperative.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Really wish this Barnes dude would get off his old butt and recruit.

/s

Obv we don’t know whats going to happen with players going, but having Mashack and potentially Mutumbo to go with Corey Walker in a couple of years will be stout as well.

Just mentioning them because of the “sweet spot” comment.

Yup, with Vescovi hanging around too

 

[VolFreakJosh]

See, English isn’t the only reason why we’re landing all these recruits....

Barnes still has a good reputation and his results prove that.

Landing a guard was nice.
Landing a post is imperative.

 

[The Dog]

Wouldn't ON and Pons be considered in the "Sweet Spot", also. Pons was like #75, so he definitely would be in the SS

 

[The Dog]

Landing a guard on a nice.
Landing a post is imperative.

Motombo is a lock and ON looks like he is ready to contribute, UT will be fine. Well, as long as Motombo is really a lock. But, I agree

Absolutely, this class isn’t going to be a 2 man class, both were needs.

Mutombo*

 

[The Dog]

Thank u, I hate misspelling a kid's name. Mutombo

In this definition, the Sweet Spot Brian Snow was referring to was a Top-50 recruit that isn't a one and done. Pons was just outside of that.

 

[The Dog]

I thought it was high 4 stars like from #25-#75. My bad

 

[esands88]

Boom@!@

 

[walkenvol]

Once again CRB lands a high character and high talent recruit. Mutombo, Smith and call it a class!

 

[The Dog]

But still, I get the idea of the Sweet Spot. High level recruits that stick around at the least a couple of years and becomes a team that can win a Natty like Villanova has done 2 out of the last 6 years

 

[Rrcox1951]

I noticed that 247 had Mashack listed as a small forward, whereas Rivals had him listed as a shooting guard. The News-Sentinel also listed him as a SF, getting their info from 247.
Team rankings on the two recruiting sites differ a great deal as well. Rivals has the Vols up to 9th in the rankings, but 247 has us at 19th, one spot behind Kansas.

 

[Skullbone]

Boom! Next...
