Nichols is headed to Gainsville, so the Vols will get to see him a few times per season at least.

Yeah, like Stokes who was memphis or arky bound. Please stay on memphistigers.org where you can spew your anti-UT garbage about UT boners.

I don't follow basketball recruiting that much, but getting Stokes makes me feel like we can get anybody out of Memphis. It just SOUNDS and FEELS like we moved up a notch in Memphis recruiting.

I think getting Nichols would be much bigger (in terms of recruiting Memphis) than Stokes was.

I can definitely understand that.

OP will you post the profile of Nichols that I put in this thread on the first page please. We're trying to get the first post of the recruits thread to have their profiles listed, thanks.

“@a_nichols33: Heading home right now.. this weekend went by too fast! Had a ton of fun. Met a lot of people. Can't wait to do it again! #Tonuhfun”


I'm really feeling like we have a good shot at this kid, seems to have had a blast.

On the flip side I've hear nothing from thornwell or landry, anybody?

According to 247, Austin had a very very good time this weekend in Knoxville. It was his 3rd time on campus, he is growing a good relationship w/ the current players. His dad & mom really like Coach Martin. Austin also has an older sister who is likely to be attending Tennessee next year.

247 said that Thornwell did not make it in but a UT coach did go visit him last week. They didn't have anything on Landry. They also said a Foward from KY Jack Whitman was on campus for the game, he is a '13 kid.

Nichols gives me full fledged hardwood excitement! I hope we land this kid. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite prospects

CCM gettin' it done on the recruiting trails. If he can land a few more top prospects, like Nichols, he'll have us back in the top of the SEC in no time.

If he pulls another kid or 2 from Memphis that's gonns say a lot. Many coaches can't pull one kid out, if you can set up a pipeline to Memphis your off to a hell of a start.

A lot of people here think UF is out in front, but I don't see it at all. Maybe I'm wrong. If Duke offers we'll have a battle on our hands, but there are several things working in UT's favor.

He isn't staying in Memphis, though. That much is clear.

A lot of people think he is coming to Tennessee. I think they are correct.

The only school that worries me is duke if they get involved, but if they don't I really like our chances. Both his parents being UT Alum always helps, and his good friend being here don't hurt either.

Here's some interesting trivia on Nichols.
His Maxprep stats are better than Kingsley's.
He averages more points, more rebounds and Kingsley average 6.3 blks while Nichols averages 6.0.
(Comparing 4 games to 17 for Moses)
Add to that he's played with Stokes with good results in AAU.
Not sure he's wide enough to play the post in college, but thought this was interesting.

I think Nichols can be an excellent 4 in the SEC, while Kingsley is a five. Nichols is only about 205-210 pounds.

The main issue is his level of competition during his school season. Briarcrest is in the lower division of private schools. They'll still play the Treadwell's and such during the season, but not consistently, so his competition isn't consistently strong.

Does he have a perimeter game? They describe him as a point forward type of player. Being that skinny I feel like he would develop into a SF at the college level.

I agree. With that said he does have a year and a half to continue to build his body and put some weight on if he chooses that he wants to be a 5. Either way, I expect him to be very good and hope we can land him.
