[AngryButchJones]

If we somehow land him...I will do backflips.

 

[The Dog]

Yeah, me too. Two blue bloods, Mich. St and Duke, along with one of the home state schools. If Barnes were to pull this kid it would be by far, his biggest recruiting coup at UT

 

[bleedingTNorange]

So of the top targets:

#11 Josiah James- Vols make Top 4
#29 Tre Mann- Vols make Top 3
#80* Robbie Beran- ?
#87 Dekeyvan Tandy- ?
#117* Tyrell Jones- ?
#178* Drew Pember- UT COMMIT
#188* Jason Jitoboh- Vols make Top 4

Thanks for the updates BTO. Any timeline for J James or Tre Mann? I haven't heard much about Robbie Beran. Are we a factor there?

Mann and James both look like they will be taking visits into at least September so possible early October decisions for both.

Wow Lecque dropped far

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Wow Lecque dropped far

Expected...he struggled a bit in AAU, his outside shot was mentioned as being “embarrassing”, he’s an absolute athletic freak but his shot is in serious need of improvement.

That and he's going to spend his senior season working a lot on his skills as a PG instead of being a combo guard. I think his senior year will be very beneficial for him. He's still a five-star to me, and I think he'll eventually regain that designation.

Yeah his shot is awful

Barnes could easily fix his shot

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Barnes could easily fix his shot

He could definitely improve it that’s for sure

Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting: Vols have unique football connection with three-star PG Issac McBride


Apparently McBride’s uncle played football for Tennessee and was on the 1998 National Championship team. Said Kansas and Tennessee are his Top 2 and that he will officially visit both.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Would really like to get McBride even if we do still get Mann. McBride seems like a hidden gem

Give me either Jones or McBride at PG and Jitoboh and I'll be happy. Would love to land James or Beran, but not holding my breath.
