BTO - where are we at with Kira Lewis and KyKy Tandy?

My opinion...

Kira Lewis to me feels like he’s gonna end up at a bigger school, he comes off as very open in the process and nowhere near doing anything. Because of that it would seem like getting in early isn’t going to benefit us or any school. As fewer PG options remain he’s going to become even more coveted, so I see him at a Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina etc.

KyKy Tandy I think we have a great shot with, but we have to make him a priority. Cincinnati has him atop their board and he has recognized that, but Tennessee is right there. It’s my opinion that if Tennessee was really put the full court press on him from now until when he decides that he would be a Vol, could be wrong but he really like Barnes and doesn’t hurt he’s kin to Scotty Hopson.

Time to make Tandy a priority. Mann is close to making a decision so I’d go ahead and start focusing on Tandy. If Mann ends up choosing us then great but if not we are ahead of the game on Tandy.

Lewis sounds like a waste of time.

Idk on Mann, Florida Rivals guys are saying they don’t think he makes a decision anytime soon and RL said in the war room that if it drags out and no quick decision it’s good for Tennessee.

I agree on Tandy though, I would think we are good with taking 2 guards if they are the right 2...I really like Tandy and think he will be a very nice player.

We need to be in that upper echelon. No reason we shouldn’t be.

The blue bloods are not the teams we battle and it’s not who we need to battle. Plenty of great players out there even in the top 100 that we should be able to get.

Why not? I mean, we know we can have the fan support. We have the facilities. There’s no reason. You’re really underselling the program, which is part of our probably. Our fans don’t understand how good we have it, and how good we could have it. We have the resources to be a constant top 10 team.i mean for god sakes, our coach is rick ****ing Barnes.

Not now, no. Get a consistent amount of those top 100’s , then you battle the blue bloods for guys like Zion Williamson, Jalen lecque, and others

That’s not our path to our ceiling.

Our path is getting the best 3-4 year players we can get. Maybe mix in a one and done every 4-5 years. Similar to what Billy D did.

I assure you battling UK, UNC, etc for recruits is not our path.

It won’t hurt.if the other way will win us a national champions Championship, then I’d be fine with it. But It’s just my opinion. Everybody has one.

Dallas, this is just another one of your 16 year old fanboy, delusional takes.

Tennessee is never going to be UNC, UK, or Duke. Just stop pretending that it will ever happen. Rick Barnes is our coach because he got fired. We didn't stroll down to Austin, TX, whip our pecker out, and steal him away.

Look at Florida. They won back-to-back national titles and still aren't considered in the same category as those other teams. I get that we have support, facilities, and a good coach, but you just have no idea what makes a blue blood a blue blood. You just believe that a school decides to be one and they make it happen. It isn't underselling the program to say we can be a couple notches below that as our ceiling. Teams in that range can compete with the blue bloods on occasion. They just aren't going to be national title contenders every single year.

Could be , it’s battered vol syndrome. There’s no reason we can’t be thought of in the same vein as uk, we were for a while when we #1. Quit with this 16 year old fanboy **** too, I don’t want to hear it.
