We need a true big man in the low post.

Could be a great addition..

I don't think we are a contender from what I've read.

Would love to have him, but I don't think we'll get him. From everything I've seen, we aren't in his top 5.

From travon Landry twitter tonight...

“@TLandry01: S/O to @J_Taylor10 one of the top big men in the country. I'm trying to get him to come to Tennessee with me #VolNation follow him!!!”

Very cool, but as ZJC said, I have heard (can't remember exactly where, possibly collegehoops.net) that he is more interested in a couple other schools. Don't take my word on that, but I think that's what I read

No you're correct but it doesn't hurt that Landry is atleast trying.

Jimmie Taylor lists five; to visit UK, Vandy,*Georgetown


“I like Georgetown, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Alabama and Tennessee,” Taylor told NRS. “I have offers from all of them except for Kentucky. I just think that they all have a lot to offer me and they can really develop me.”

However, coaching staffs aren’t the only ones recruiting 6’10, 210-pound big man. Class of 2013 point guard Travon Landry is also lobbying Taylor to join him. “He just says to come with him to Tennessee and that it’s a good program headed in the right direction,” Taylor said. “He’s been doing an okay job. I’ve really been thinking about Tennessee a little.”

Hmmm...sounds like he's not too excited. I think it would be good for him to come here though. Seems like a good prospect and a good fit.

The fact he's mentioning us in his top 5 is make progress. I would say Alabama is the definite favorite, and him wanting to committ early may eliminate Kentucky.

It'll be hard to beat out Alabama for Taylor; but crazier things have happened. Keep working him Landry.

Not too surprising, Taylor has committed to Bama.
