Terrico White is thinking about a transfer to Tennessee. Apparently his fiancee is coming here. Just a rumor though. TIFWIW

Yeah, AK will sign those release papers. I would advise people not to hold their breath waiting on this to happen. Well, most people.

I don't think he'd be released to TN, but if he REALLY wanted to be in Knoxville going to Pellissippi for a year wouldn't be out of the question.

There's a better chance of me enrolling at Pellissippi than there is of Terrico White being a student there.

His girlfriend is Lauren Avant, who is a Junior for Lausanne in Memphis. She has been "committed" to the Lady Vols since she was in the 8th grade. She will be a good PG for the LVs in the future.

Last I heard, White was trying to help Ole Miss convince Avant to switch her pledge to the Lady Rebs. it does not appear that is going to happen.

Why are we so gung ho on getting transfers and juco players? It has never worked to go after transfer players in an attempt to develop a solid roster. However, Pearl keeps doing it. Can't he just recruit kids out of high school and let them develop in his system?

Please don't try to validate your argument by saying that TSmith is a good indicator that it does work. He's a once in a blue moon transfer who should have been at UT in the first place.

JP is a bust considering his rivals ranking (and complete lack of a shot), B Maze is about what one would expect out of a three star kid out of high school who is a transfer player...

White would be a hell of a transfer. Not gonna happen, but at least I can dream.

there is a big difference between maze and prince, and then tyler smith??? bobby maze was nothing at oklahoma, and jp prince was nothing at arizona so there wasnt much expectations realistically. tyler was something at iowa and made conference all freshman team so yea that would be the difference. terrico white is as god if not better than tyler as a freshman. the kid can flat out play no questions asked, now with that said do i think this is true? NO!!! i just dont see a player with his talent transferring and having to sit out a year, because he wont ge immediate eligibility, and then picking up again. he may not get the minutes he did this year because of chris warren comingback buti just dnt see somebody with his talent and likelihood of a nba future transferring and having to sit out a year.

look at the numbers and tell me what you find. along with the numbers you have to take into consideration leadership. if it werent for terrico ole miss wouldnt have been worth talking about. he was a great leader for ole miss and a great player, but a leader as a freshman is rare and tyler still isnt quit a big time leader. as i said i think terrico white is as good if not maybe better than tyler as a freshman, but even if he is just as good thats saying alot and would be a huge addition to pg. something i just thought about that that makes this less likely is he would be eligible in 2010. we have selby and mcrae coming in that year. i cant see terrico white wanting to come in and compete with that.

Something that could add to this rumor is that there is a chance AK could get fired depending on how his legal troubles turn out.

that is true i had forgotten all about that legal trouble that he was in. i see that stuff kind of fading away and kennedy keeping his job, it may be different if he was a lous coach. i dont think that has much to do with terricos decision though, it sounds as though it is all based on his fiance.

Just wondering - I don't follow basketball recruiting much.

How hard did Tennessee pursue Terrico?

I got the chance to see him play a time or two last year and was really impressed. I knew he'd make an impression his freshman year, but I didn't foresee him being this good this early. All I knew was that he was a great dunker who could shoot too. Also, on a completely irrelevant note, he was fun to watch as a QB. The kid could put on a show sometimes.

That fact that Tyler is 6'7 and plays PF but still lead his team in pretty much every stat (including assists) as a freshman makes him >> a small PG. Not to mention Ole Miss was missing 2 of their best 3 players so the guy had to step up.
