Definitely going to be some turnover on the roster, the staff recognizes an opportunity to flip this roster and they are going to try and do just that.

I believe you’ll see Fulk & Anosike return, Johnson & Springer leave, and then likely 1-3 end of bench guys leave.

Johnson & Springer alone equals 5 open spots, Mashack and Chandler take 2 leaving 3, I think you see Tamba and a good chance of BHH, that leaves 1 spot...but as I said I think you’ll see 1-3 transfers so leaving room for 2-4 transfers. I definitely don’t think you’re going to see 4, if that scenario plays out I would guess we hold a spot open, but I think 2 transfers is very likely.

Like I said earlier today, I think good chance of BHH & Tamba...then 1-2 transfers, looking at guards and post options, they’re aiming high for sure.

Some questions I have:

-is Mashack ready to play at this level physically yet?
-who will be the backup option for Chandler?
-are we going to depend on Vescovi and Bailey for our outside game along with Chandler?
-what the hell does Barnes see in Anosike? 6'5" and can't get off the ground. I don't get it.

From what I've seen on tape Mashack is in the Johnson mode (loves to defend) but probably has a better build. He is still devleoping his shot.

If Chandler is you uber speedy ball handler then I think we have guys that can take the pressure off him. I think this would help Vescovi as much as any because he could benefit from Chandler penetration and light it up from beyond the arc.

I think the staff knows it has egg on its face with Anosike but what can you do about it now? That's why his minutes have been cut drastically. He will stay but have a minimal role. He won't count against the numbers next year so there's no benefit in cutting him loose.

I think Mashack is fine physically, I don’t think they’ll need 30mpg from him but he shouldn’t have an issue giving 15-20 I don’t think.

I think Chandler will literally play as many minutes as he can handle, he will clearly be the best PG option on the team so if he can handle 32mpg he will get it. Behind him I’m guessing you’ll see Vescovi, which for 8-10mpg is totally fine imo. Could see them look to transfer market for a more capable backup PG but I think they’ll look for more of a scorer than a PG.

Yes, Chandler at PG will allow Vescovi and Bailey to mainly be off ball guards which is what they excel at most, I could see both having really good shooting years. I think you’ll also see Tennessee look at some transfer options at the guard position.

Even if Anosike comes back I’m not sure he plays, he doesn’t cost a scholarship so there’s no harm in it. He may want to get into coaching or maybe pursue another degree, seems like a great teammate and he’s always wanted to be Vol, I see no issue.

I created my last post before I read this and a lot of our analysis turned out to be the same. Scary.

I legit don't remember us recruiting him in the least. I had to read all the posts here to know to look at UNC's roster, and I don't recognize the name or face at all....crazy.

Probably because he kept blowing off visits to Tennessee. He cancelled at least 2 of them.

My dream class, that's kinda realistic, Chandler, Mashack, a reclassified BHH with transfers, Kessler and AJ Bramah. Followed by Edwards and Tamba as the linchpins for '22

I don’t think we are pushing much for Bramah...Miller and Okpora are also huge targets for ‘22

Additionally, Tamba is a reclass candidate for 2021.

Would watch Bruce and Auburn as a team that’s gonna try and get Kessler if he leaves . I remember they were a top school running for him at one point .

I don’t think there’s any reason to expect a guy who had 3 years of good numbers to completely flame out. No doubt he’s been terrible this year, but it’s entirely possible for him to have a return to form and there’s nothing to lose in giving it a shot.
