Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[johnfnkelly]

Maybe Tamba is the unexpected departure?

You can’t tell a kid to reclass then process him out a year later when you sold him on a long term development plan.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If they are able to land 2 guys the departure to make room won’t be someone that’s really been speculated as leaving, of course things can change but as of now.

Maschack would make a lot of sense here, IMO. Not that I want it to happen by any means, I am high on his potential long term, but he already had to burn his redshirt this year. If we brought in another PG and Phillips, plus return Santi/JJJ/ZZ/ON/etc, then I can't imagine there will be much playing time for him again next year. Feels like he would want to explore other options at that point.

Same with QD honestly. They both have high potential but like you said I can't see playing time. Love for both of them to stay though

QD at least has a strong chance of getting a redshirt approved this year though. So, that alone makes him staying more likely.

 

[JRVOL11]

would trade mashack for murray easily

 

[Ryno14]

Is this the guy???? @bleedingTNorange

No, but I could see Tennessee reaching out depending on how likely they feel this other guy is to enter.

Nope. Just my 2 cents but I think it ends up being Uros.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I also wouldn't mind going after KJ Williams from Murray as well.
6'10, 245
Averaged 18.0 and 8.0, career 35% from 3pt

thats the type of guy that winds up at UK. we usually get the 2.5 ppg and 2.5 rpg. with a half in vertical

 

[cwbytruckers]

it’s like everytime Auburn gets in on a recruit, they’re all of sudden going there lol

its called really good BBQ

 

[cwbytruckers]

Nope. Just my 2 cents but I think it ends up being Uros.

I hope Uros stays. He finally has a mean streak all be it his mouth

Gee I hope not. Love Mashacks potential. Sure his position remains clogged but we won’t be running out so many two PG looks with Kennedy gone, so Scov isn’t pushed to the 3 as often, and Mashack can get more time there. Then the next year there will be all the pt in the world. I think he’ll be around, Barnes already showed an enthusiasm for him putting him in in big spots, and I sure hope he’ll be around, he’s the freshman I’m most excited about long term

 

[Volfan1000]

Mike Wilson has an article in today's News Sentinel about the players staying or leaving and Bailey and Chandler were the only sure departures and he thinks QD might leave and he sees all the other players returning.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I like QD’s game. Potential 15 ppg player one day. I hope he sticks.

Based on…what exactly?

 

[TrippieRedd]

No, but I could see Tennessee reaching out depending on how likely they feel this other guy is to enter.

Im just going to take an off the wall guess and say Wheeler from UK?

 

[JRVOL11]

College basketball: Breakdown of LSU transfer Brandon Murray's options in the portal

sounds like 247 thinks Tennessee is the best option.

 

[ShowSomePride]

I hope not.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I hope not.

I don't think you'll have to worry lol

 

[CamVol8]

why not just say who the guy is?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yeah that part about him is fine. He's also a program guy which Barnes loves. However, if we bring in Phillips I see a post leaving, im hoping its not BHH or Aidoo as they have the most potential. Unfortunately I see ORN remaining so that leaves Tamba or Uros. In that scenario I think Uros becomes the odd man out as game wise he has the lower ceiling, and Tamba has more time left.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Flashes of brilliance and hs highlights. I might be wrong

I hope BHH and Aidoo stay. I was looking forward to seeing their developments after this offseason.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Because we don’t talk about Bruno.

No chance
