2019 Target List

You questioned me when I said Lewis was slated to make a big jump, and that’s when you then pointed out the Kansas offer for Mann and asked me if I thought Lewis was really gonna jump 80+ spots. All I was saying.

Oh, you were right on him making the jump.

I just pointed out the Kansas offer because you were bragging about Kentucky following Lewis around.

You were using the higher ranking and the Kansas offer to support your claim that Mann was at the top of our board, arguing against that I was saying offers were coming for Lewis as was a huge jump in the rankings, as those 2 things typically go together. Without having the ranking or Kansas offer to lean on it’s not nearly the same argument you were trying to make as before, that’s all my point was.
 
Thought we had 4 spots lol but I do have a feeling someone will transfer after this coming season so maybe we will have 4. Don’t think Kent will ever see many meaningful minutes here. Which sucks cause I do like what he brings to the table.

But all these guys are likely fall signees, someone won’t transfer until next spring most likely if it happens...so we still likely only have 4 spots as of today for fall, and 3 if you count Burns.

My argument is that Mann was at the top. I don't think there's any question about that. Were there others up there with him? Maybe. Would we have taken others with him? Maybe.

Was he at the top? No question IMO.



You've spent the whole afternoon arguing that we don't know where he's at on the board.
  • Took an OV
  • Clearly a priority per RL and per you
  • Turned the heat up on him during the visit. Using our connection to the assistant coach's son with the tweet.

So obvious that we really wanted this kid.



We don't know for a fact where he fell on their board. I get that. I have a hard time believing he wasn't at the very top of the guard list or at least very near the top.

To me he seemed liked the best realistic candidate. I would move him ahead of the 1 and done types like Josiah James because it's better for UT to have a top 50 guy for 3-4 years than a top 10 guy for 1.
 
I’m sure that’s how you felt

Isaiah Stewart released a Top 10 which did not include Tennessee, not a huge shock there.
 
Yup. I didn’t expect much there. I think we could have a shot with Lewis, giving we offered before a bunch of other big schools did.

That doesn’t seem to mean much to him, some guys will mention that often and you get a vibe that it meant something...everything recently has been about how badly he can’t wait to visit Kentucky and Kansas.

Yeah, but maybe it means enough to him to keep us in his mind in case Kentucky or Kansas backs off.
 
Andrew Slater flipped his CB from Florida to Tennessee for Tre Mann, and Jerry Meyer just flipped his to Tennessee as well...Meyer also just CB’d Mann’s teammate CJ Walker to Tennessee.

Cue the it’s happening GIF
