Brandon Huntley-Hatfield commits

Guys, what a WEEK for the Vols!!

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Great recruit and great class! Is this the new model of UT basketball where we turn over the majority of the roster each season much like KY has been doing?

In so much as it is the general trend in college basketball, but I don't think we are going to become a 1 and done factory.

 

[InVOLuntary]

This is a grown ass man! What are they putting in the water these days? And, he should be a freakin' senior in high school this year. Unbelievable.

 

[EricberryFAN]

What's Bobby Maze twitter handle? Looks like he played for his team? We need to send a thank you imo.

 

[BillVol7]

Don’t shoot all you booms just yet, we potentially have 2 spots left to fill. What a class !! Go Vols and thank you B. Maze

If KC/BHH aren’t running at least 10 ball screens per game Barnes should be forced to watch Lil Nas X’s “Montero” video until it forced into his contract.

This is a great, great get.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Ehh...that’s a little premature, probably.

On paper

 

[therickbol]

Great news, now Aidoo does not have to produce immediately, he can get bigger and stronger and really develop. Major Boomage. GBO

They will not play the same position.

 

[VolPack22]

HUGE get! Finally getting some skilled big men that are highly rated recruits. This is what we’ve been missing since Grant left.

 

[Jonboy]

Holy wow. What a recruiting class we have coming in!

 

[hbvol1982]

They will not play the same position.

That may be true, but in this era of interchangeable pieces I can see a lot of lineup flexibility that allows Aidoo to develop at his own pace. BHH has the size/strength today to be a good SEC rebounder so it takes the pressure off Aidoo.

Basketball school

Actually right now, we're a baseball school.

 

[TMvol10]

But Barnes was mean to Corey Walker.

I think Barnes has proved his whole career that he won’t play you if you don’t play hard and play the way he wants. Same will go with BHH and I’ve heard that he isn’t a max effort guy. He’ll need to change that.

Where have you heard that except from the spurned KY fans?

 

[VolFanNC09]

Wow, really great class.

 

[VolPack22]

Actually right now, we're a baseball school.

I’m hoping within the next couple of years we are a football, basketball and baseball school. We would have exciting ball to watch all year long. Been a long time since all 3 programs were good at the same time.

 

[jarnol32]

Big time player!

 

[zaqhhh]

Boom!

I am not as tuned into CBB Recruiting as I would like. Can someone explain why UK pulled their offer?

 

[Lampvol74]

Great for the Vols in signing the 2 top players in the state of Tennessee.
GBO

 

[therickbol]

They didn't. UK fans realized he was not going to UK and created that narrative.

 

[OrangeRaid Vol #1]

BasketBoom!!!! Looks like Vols basketball will be lots of fun to watch again, as it has been during Barnes era, with an interesting, entertaining, mix of hardworking, good character young men.

[TMvol10]

Heard it on the radio the other day but that doesn’t mean that narrative didn’t start with those slack jawed yokels up north. I think I’ll go with you and blame it on the spurned Kentucky fans.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Quick question to those who know more about BHH skill set. Who is he most like as a player?

 

[Voltopia]

Whelp, we tried signing two big time guards, now we'll try it with one big time point guard and one big time power forward. It's a fantastic signing. I just hope this can mean something for Tennessee in the long run.
