2021 Target List

I think the last HS game I attended was in 2007-08 to watch Hopson in a tournament in Louisville, KY before he decided on a college. I also watched Springer play in an AAU game in Dallas last year. If Springer announces for UT, I may as well attend one of Ingram’s games in Dallas next season to try to make it 3 for 3.

Actually, I also recall watching Hubbs in the state final his senior year the day after UT lost in the SECT nearby.

Make it happen!

Per cncchris33:

Paolo Banchero
Kennedy Chandler
Harrison Ingram
Dallan Coleman
Carter Whitt
Zion Harmon

Harmon didn't list us in his top 7, but he's also one of three PGs on this list. I wonder how likely any of these guys are. All are top 60 players in 2021.

Yeah, if you are talking about the top 7 he listed in early September, that list is evolving, I’d say. Maryland wasn’t included in that top 7, and, right now, he seems to be all about them, just recently visited them officially, and is from Maryland, originally, I believe.

Harmon is someone I would like to see Tennessee get more involved with, but it seems like we are hyper-focused on Chandler, at the moment, as I haven’t heard a lot of talk about Carter Whitt recently, either.

With regards to listed players, we may sign exclusively from that list like we did this past class, or we may sign 2 or 3 kids who we aren’t even talking about, right now. Kids like Pons and Nkamhoua just popped up out of the blue. Barnes has had success recruiting in so many different ways; traditional 4-5⭐️ talent, underrated and undiscovered talent, international talent, and the available talent on the transfer market. One thing I do know, is I trust that whoever he lands, he will get the most out of them and field a competitive team.

#2 Paolo Banchero

#11 Kennedy Chandler
#12 Khristian Lander
#14 Harrison Ingram
#25 Trey Patterson
#52 Carter Whitt
#54 John Butler
#58 KJ Adams
#80 Frank Anselem

Targeted only or are there any OVs, interest, listing of TN as a finalist? Half of the top 14 is pretty strong no matter which category.

Does anyone know if Chet Holmgren is a legit possibility?

VQ mentioned Smith Jr. & Ingram likely coming in for OV’s for the Florida game, that would make it #2 Banchero, #5 Smith Jr., #11 Chandler and #14 Ingram who would’ve OV’d as juniors to Tennessee.
 
Highlight vid only, Carter Whitt looks like one of the smoother PG prospects I've seen in a while. Would like for UT to get him on campus too.
 
Recruiting wise we mentioned last week that Tennessee was in to see 2021 Georgia prospect Kowacie Reeves. Reeves saw his ranking get bumped up to No. 35 nationally in the 2021 class in the update which was released this week. For now the 2021 board looks sharply defined, at least at the top. Look for some new names to pop up in the spring as guys Tennessee will seriously pursue, but for now the Vols are hard after a star studded list that includes five-stars Paolo Banchero (No. 2), Jabari Smith (No. 5), Kennedy Chandler (No. 10) and Harrison Ingram (No. 13). Landing anyone from that group would be a coup, landing a couple would be the foundation of another monster class.

Man, all 4 of those kids are the kind of players that UT rarely ever gets. Yes, Barnes and company pulled 3 kids close to that level in '20, but these 4, the Vols are recruiting in '21 are another step up. Ingram-60%, Chandler-40%, Smith-20%, Paolo-13% chance for the Vols. If Paolo or Chandler commit to UT, the other kid's percentage goes 25%, imo. I think UT, at the least gets Harrison Ingram because of the legacy thing. I know that doesn't always works out, but this time with the way he fits with Barnes program, it will. I think Smith would be a good fit, considering the current weakness for this UT team, rebounding. Smith seems more like a true PF than Paolo, but we couldn't go wrong either way. The future looks bright, hopefully this bump in the road, this year, won't hurt us.
