Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[mr.checkerboards]

No, Clark isn’t in Nashville anymore, he’s at Montverde in Florida.

Hmmm and we just got Q from there. Dare I say pipeline?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I wouldn't complain.
Clark
Vescovi
James
BHH
Aidoo.
There wouldn't be many starting 5's that are better in CBB.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Last one for now.
But it wouldn't surprise me if Clark decomitted from YK because Washington returns. Tyty isn't ready.

TyTy isn’t returning. He’s being mocked in the top 10. Sharpe staying might be why.

Wow. I hadn't really looked at mocks, but I didn't expect that for Tyty. You can tell he has the potential but I don't see him being anywhere close to ready.

I mean, at least three of them.
Not be concerned about Arkansas is just having your head in the sand, or just bluster. They are gonna be a force for a while

Sure, 5* freshmen aren’t the reason they’ll be a force though. Keon and Springer did nothing of significance here.

TyTy ain’t coming back. If Kennedy is gone, TyTy is gone. TyTy has been consistently mocked above Kennedy the entire season. They both are gone. So I Sharpe, IMO.

KC is better than TyTy as of now anyway

KC is better than TyTy as of now anyway

He might be better right now, but pro scouts don't see his ceiling as higher than TyTy, and that is what matters most to scouts.

Clark decommitting from UK wasn't entirely his choice and thus likely has little to do with anything TyTy or SS are doing.

Yep, TyTy has a significant size advantage over KC, too. Something that poster has told us all you can't teach.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Julian Phillips and Brandon Murray?

Nothing since I put in the War Room that Tennessee's whole staff visited him (Phillips) last Thursday.

Tennessee is deep in it, not going to be easy.

Tennessee has reached out to Murray and is interested.

Now, now. We all know logic and consistency aren't two things you'll find on VolNation.

Ha, kidding. But, in all seriousness, TyTy has the size and the measurables that Kennedy just doesn't. It's something that will give him a leg up in the draft and as a pro, so Kennedy will just have to work that much harder. You could already see it on the court this year. Kennedy made drastic improvements from Day 1 to the end of the season, while TyTy kind of peaked early and got worse. Speaks to their work ethic, IMO.

The interesting thing is Muss has done well with transfers. How will he do with freshmen?

Yeah that’s an understatement. All but 2 players on his roster are transfers. He did the same thing at Nevada. His last season there I believe every player on his roster was a transfer.

 

[golfballs]

Of course that’s how Gonzaga operated for years.

No, Clark isn’t in Nashville anymore, he’s at Montverde in Florida.

So he is from Nashville. The 'tweet' read that Monteverde was in Nashville. Mis-tweet?

What’s the speculation behind his decommitment

 

[LeannaVol]

What’s the speculation behind his decommitment

My understanding is that since his injury, he has lost some explosiveness/athleticism and is not as highly regarded now as he was when he originally committed to UK.
I think he is now considered a multi year college player and not a likely one and done. I hope he comes here and gives UK nightmares for years.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Tf are you talking about? The tweet says that Tennessee, referring to representatives from the UT bball program, was there (Montverde in FL) to see Skyy play, not that they were in the state of TN to see him play.

He originally is from California iirc, moved to Nashville and lived there maybe 2 years, then was at Montverde in Florida. I don’t see anything in the tweet saying “Montverde in Nashville”??

His father also thinks he’s a bit better than he is and wants to be involved which isn’t very appealing to me.

The link inside the tweet says "Skyy Clark is a PG from Montverde Academy in Nashville, TN" which is definitely an error on their part.

Because you can't. It's not like I said Ty was bad, I just think at this moment KC is more polished

That doesn't give me good vibes.

It speaks to TyTy getting injured twice. He’s a much better player than the last month shows.
