Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[Thunder Good-Oil]

They’re kind of stacked everywhere except small forward with Fulkerson (most likely) returning.

Could use a multi-year PG but that might be covered in the 2022 class. Still need a grown ass hoss to knock heads and throw elbows in the paint.

White boy from auburn could be that long term PG. he was a high 3 star out of HS. But yeah, with santi finally shifting to SG and chandler being a 99.9% lock to the NBA, I see the need. I just don’t know how willing someone would be to ride the pine for a season while an NBA guy balls out for a season. It’s a lose-lose because he’ll be held to the same standard after.

The most likely scenario now is landing Tamba and calling it a day.

Honestly wouldn't mind taking a transfer big man and shooter and telling Tamba to wait till 22.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

How we feeling about another NCAAT?

Tournament sure. Results nope

What qualifies as “results” to you?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Like I said, other names were gonna pop up, such as Theo John...was no need to freak out.

Have we even offered/ showed interest in John? I haven’t seen anything.

Totally off topic, but your pic of Swain absolutely cracked me up lol

 

[Lampvol74]

With the addition of BHH, Barnes and his staff are starting to close the state borders a little bit.

I like seeing the homegrown Tennessee kids get scholarships. The Vols now have more international players on scholarship than Tennesseans. I know you need to get the best players regardless of where they are from, but for too many years some of the best instate players have gone elsewhere.

Gotta think JJJ is going to eat up most of the minutes there since he isn’t going to need to play 4 this year.

Whatever is one step further than Barnes will provide in any given year.

Powell will likely get minutes at the three when JJJ needs a blow. And Powell will get minutes at the two.

I wouldn’t discount potential scenarios where BHH gets some minutes at the 3, either.

Interesting. BHH says he is 6'-10" now. Imagine that front line with Fulky at the 4 and a seven footer at the 5. Yikes!

I read that Mashack is further along defensively than most freshmen. So I wouldn't count him out getting PT at the 3, either, given how much Barnes loves defense.

Again, no...staff wants Tamba AND an experienced big transfer.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

You also hadn’t seen anything on QDE until I posted his name...

 

[Lampvol74]

Coach Barnes and staff have put together a great roster. If Covid will die down and these kids can get on with off season S&C work and have a normal pre-season practice schedule, the team should be in good shape for a good season.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

The only reason I ask is because I read he’s a Duke lock.

I’m sure their fans feel that way, that feel that way about anyone they want...with that said, I’m not saying we’re getting him, it was just a name I shared. My point was that names are still hitting the portal and there will be even more, there was no need to panic then or now.

I understand that.

Didnt he just enter the portal yesterday? How can Duke already be sure he’s going there?

Someone who seems to be pretty in the know with the Duke program said it’s seen as a “done deal”.

Sounds like some phone calls were made illegally then

Not surprisingly, <crickets>

Wouldn’t surprise me lol
