Isaiah Sykes

[volball625]

Saw a thread over on VQ about this guy. Apparently he is coming to Knoxville this weekend. He is a true sleeper. Wasn't even in the rivals database three weeks ago. Now people are saying he could shoot up to a five star. He's 2010 guy. It's amazing what Bruce and his staff are capable of, finding a under the radar guy all the way up in Michigan.

Links didn't work for me. Looks like you accidentally put the http: twice on each one.

 

[volball625]

fixed

 

[Abeachvol]

thanks for the links, awesome find...hopefully TN BBALL established a solid pipeline up to MI and inparticular Detroit WHAT area

 

[ukvols]

Great links, 625. That really clears it up. A 3* now but on the rise. You have me excited about this kid.

 

[matts42012]

what is our shot?

 

[volball625]

One of the rivals bball recruitng mods said that he will probably shoot up to a five star.

I think we are right in the thick of things, but I'm sure the big boys up in the north are going to do their best to lock him down.

 

[ukvols]

It has to help that we got in before his stock soared. We bought low. lol:

Tony Jones...

i read in the comments on that page most people think he is a lock to Tennessee

I think he is going to be a Vol or Spartan. We have a really good shot. Could be the reason why we passed up on Scott

 

[ukvols]

We don't have an available scholarship for Scott anyway, provided that it's true that we're getting/taking Casey Mitchell.

I don't think Mitchell is for sure going to be at UT

 

[ukvols]

I did notice that he's not listed on Rivals as a UT commitment.

 

[therickbol]

Sykes officially named Tennessee as his leader today. He even went as far as to say a commitment could possibly come soon. Michigan State is pushing him hard (and has been for a little while) and he still named Tennessee as his clear cut leader after his visit. That has to be a good sign.

 

[VOLGRAD2006]

Yeah I liked how he became a fan of the television expousure. I guess those big games and being on TV all the time will pay off for us.

 

[dickens821]

Anything heard more on whether he's going to commit or anything of that nature? This kid is going to be nasty good when it's all said and done. Could be better than Selby.

 

[Midfielder10]

I have been thinking about him lately too. Hope we're still in good shape.

 

[bburger991]

So if he does get the bump to the 5*, when would it be?

 

[Midfielder10]

next year

 

[VOLNBAMA]

just imagine having Sykes, Selby, and Wroten all on the floor at the same time.

 

[robvols]

Which coach is recruiting this kid?

 

[dickens821]

Tony Jones.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

Wroten? who is that?

 

[dickens821]

Tony Wroten Jr, a top 10 player from the class of 2011. He's from Seattle and has been saying for the past couple years UT is his favorite school.
