Josh Selby: Tuesday was yet another huge day for Selby. The Baltimore native has been completely unguardable all week long, and that didn't change at all during Tuesday's practice. Selby got to rim at will, and also had his shot working from the outside. With his athleticism and ability to finish both inside and on the perimeter makes him such a tough matchup. Quite honestly no one could guard him.

Tobias Harris: Harris is just having an absolutely incredible week, and on Tuesday it was no different. He is just so smooth with the ball, and defenders have had little luck staying in front of him. Also his shot has looked great, and overall has just been a major matchup problem. On the wing with his size and athleticism, he has taken bigger defenders to the rim off the dribble or hit shots from the perimeter, and smaller defenders have had very little luck stopping him down on the block.

Also, on TOS, there is a guy saying he has multiple sources in the UT Athletics Department telling him Selby is a UT lock. And there is another guy, who claims to be a recruiting insider, saying he's not a lock, but we're in great shape with him.

Regardless of what happens with Selby, that's great news about Tobias.

Ugh, the infamous sources in the athletic department. I've been burned too many times on that one through football. I'll think he's going to Kansas until there's reason to believe otherwise.

Exactly.

There is no way anyone can call Selby a lock, the guy was already committed here once, dropped us from his list, put us back on, etc.

He's a bit of a loose cannon but i hope we land him!

The only thing that makes believe something is going on is that is a pretty wide spread rumor now. There are multiple guys on here saying the exact same thing. Also, Jay Williams, after his time at McDonald's Competitions last night now predicts Selby to come to Tennessee. Let's just hope where there's smoke, there's fire.

I hope so. The smoke has seemingly been pretty heavy in Kansas' favor for a long time and I remember Jeff Luc, among others, as being internet "locks". That would be a rdiculously talented freshman class with Selby, no stiffs or projects, all top 60 guys.

Just to add a little fuel to the fire, this is Jay Williams' tweet on Selby.


"Josh Selby will make his decision public during the Jordan All-American game on April 17th in Madison Square Garden.(I think #Tennessee)"

Yup. Selby is a done deal fellas. My birthday is April 17th. Surely he knows and wouldn't spoil it for me by going to KU or UK. :p

I gotta put this rumor to rest. Josh is my cousin's, former teacher's, daughter's boyfriend's, former AAU teammate, best friend's neighbor. They said he is going to KU.

Would this be the most amazing sequence of events in Tennessee basketball history? Make our first ever elite 8 and then turn around a month later and add the 2nd piece of 2 top 5 players..

No way anyone can call any unsigned player a lock. There are simply too many variables in BB recruiting.

With that said, the Vols are in pretty good shape with Selby. I'll be surprised (not shocked) if he doesn't ink with UT.

Selby needs to do what is best for him and his family, I hope he figures this out, and is not influenced by any outside sources with their "own agenda". I really hope UT lands him, what a boost for this program to say the least, his game is phenomenal, and I even like the way he handles reporters and the media as they continually pester him with interviews after these practices. The kid is well spoken and seems pretty intelligent, as reporters did try to bait him with some of their questions, but he was one step ahead
