2024 Target List

laughed too hard

Nowell and Swartz would be a pretty formidable duo in the backcourt. Sounds like Clemson is our toughest competitor for Swartz have to think we can sway him away

 

[VolOnthePlains]

 

[TrippieRedd]

Pleaseeeeeeee

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Eh. He’s a big beefy boy. Feels like this could just be D.J. Burns 2.0.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

If he’s willing to do the work, bring him in.

Maybe he’s DJ Burns with a work ethic. If DJ Burns could’ve gotten into shape he probably would have been drafted

Usually weight problems and poor work ethics go hand in hand. Just sayin'.

Speaking of lazy - that correlation you’ve made there. Maybe in college, certainly in the pros with the nutrition and work out advantages there, but I don’t think it necessarily means as much at the high school level.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Just posting, I know he is on our target list.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Not happening. we dont recruit NY that well.

 

[Abvolsfan92]

Swartz says he's focusing on 3 UT,Georgia, and Clemson. odd final 3 for a borderline 5 star prospect. He said he liked how Vols put people in the NBA.

If those are the 3 he’s choosing from I like our chances IMO.

 

[Volfan1000]

We need Peyton Manning to recruit this prospect.

Bolded Givens & McCarty, coming out of first AAU weekend definitely sounds like Vols are in heavy for Nowell, Swartz, Givens, McKinley & McCarty.

I like to see the focus of the recruiting venturing outside the top 25 and into that sweet spot (26-75). Maybe that's just a product of who the staff was or wasn't able to get traction with this year (I know we're in on a couple top 25 guys but doesn't seem to be as likely as Springer, Johnson, Chandler, JP). If you can sprinkle in a 5 star guy on top of the sweet spot recruits, then wonderful. But make sure you're landing the really good multi-year guys first. That's what Jay Wright seemed to be so good at.

Any sense with Edgecombe? I know @Stoerner Fumbles mentioned him a couple of weeks ago as someone they’ve had substantive conversations with.

Nike EYBL Session 1 top performers: Day 2

Givens plays for MoKan, which we have an obvious connection to with Rod Clark.

Swartz is currently the second leading scorer in the 17u division of EYBL.

McKinley also plays for MOKAN as well as attending Link

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I doubt they’d take both Nowell & Givens but it wouldn’t hurt my feelings one bit if they did

 

[TrippieRedd]

Nowell, Givens, Swartz, and McKinley plz

Same here...I'd love it, in fact. Having not taken a true PG in the 2023 class, and ZZ will be a SR, unless they plan to pursue a PG in the portal (where we've struggled to find success at that position), I can certainly see them taking two PGs in the 2024 class. You might not land two top-50ish kids, but one of those and perhaps an under-the-radar type kid like ZZ was with Chandler. Auburn had two top-30 kids committed at PG until Philon's decommitment.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Nowell, Givens, Swartz, and McKinley plz

Don’t think we’re going to have 4 spots open in 2024.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Don’t think we’re going to have 4 spots open in 2024.

I would be willing to bet we’ve got at least 4 new faces…obviously Santi is gone, Ledlum technically has 2 years but also we are seeing less and less guys take that year, could see him being ready to put that Harvard education to use and start making money. And then of course the portal, have to think just like every year there will be 1-2 departures off the roster.

 

[SN-A-C Orange]

Don’t think we’re going to have 4 spots open in 2024.

like @BTO ... I think the chances of having 4 available slots are EXTREMELY likely. jmho
