Hearing Tennessee is in it, they’ve got a connection with Gainey but as of today they don’t have an answer that it’s them. Doesn’t mean they aren’t the pick, in fact I think the staff is optimistic, they just don’t know for sure.where’s he leaning to?
Would love to see him commit to us, but in all honestly I hadn’t heard of him until he announced he was committing. Usually we hear more buzz if a top player is leaning towards the good guys. Maybe as it gets closer to his announcement date the more buzz we will hear.Hearing Tennessee is in it, they’ve got a connection with Gainey but as of today they don’t have an answer that it’s them.

@Stoerner Fumbles may have more info
You hadn’t heard of Juke Harris? He’s been a top 2024 priority for quite awhile, he UOV’d last year, OV’d after that, and then UOV’s back to Knoxville a couple of months ago.Would love to see him commit to us, but in all honestly I hadn’t heard of him until he announced he was committing.

He’s not set anything but he said he has no other visits set at this time so you’d think we are in a pretty good spot and maybe not too far off from him doing something. He’s been the staffs top PG target for quite awhile now.My biggest want of the most recent visitors is Nowell. Is he wanting to commit soon, or is he waiting? Would love to have him as our future PG.
I'd love to see a veteran from the portal along with Nowell reclassifying.He'll be running and cutting by SEC play, but he won't have the confidence to play as quick and cut as hard as he has over the past two seasons for another year, or more. And ZZ without that speed and quickness is a diminished product due to his size, unfortunately.

Thanks for the update. If you don’t mind, can you post who is coming in next season and the players who can make an immediate impact? There are numerous threads that I can search through but if you have time, I’d appreciate it.
We definitely need a post player who his nimble and can creat his own shot, including a mid range jumper. I’d like an athletic wing player as this current team lacks athleticism imo, Phillips being the exception. However, I am not sure if he returns next season though he needs a another year in college.
Thanks!
That's the '24 class. Next year, we are bringing in Freddie Dilione, who already enrolled in January. Freddie is a borderline 5 star combo guard. Cameron Carr, top 75, 4 star pure shooting guard. JP Estrella, a top 50, 5 star, 6'10ish big that can score at all 3 levels, beat out Duke for him. Cade Phillips, 6'9 big, top 100, 4 star, reminds me of a more athletic Fulkerson. I think Freddie is 6'4 and Carr is 6'5Thanks for the update. If you don’t mind, can you post who is coming in next season and the players who can make an immediate impact?
