Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[mr.checkerboards]

Gotta be the opening for Phillips.

 

[golfballs]

With Uros, Olivier, BHH, and Aidoo all presumably back, there wasn’t going to be much of a path to playing time for him

All of these players were already in the fold when he committed. What did he expect?

 

[Willy14]

Was this the player that hadn’t been mentioned here that was transferring? @bleedingTNorange

 

[JRVOL11]

was gonna tough and a long road for tamba. staff must be feeling good about landing a pretty good big man.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Bet QD transfers too. That will free up a 3rd scholarship

 

[johnfnkelly]

Hopefully this means QD is staying for the time being.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Posted this in a response to another thread, but even with the Tamba news I expect one more departure. Don’t think it will be a big blow.

- Rob Lewis

QD, I'd presume.

Part of me hopes this in response to the staff feeling REALLY good about Phillips. Even though they technically play different positions, Phillips would just be another big body ahead of him on the depth chart. Those two post spots being fairly interchangeable in Barnes's lineups, Phillips to the 4 could mean someone else getting pushed to the 5, occasionally.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Given the signings at Arkansas, Auburn and KY, it’s an arms race. I don’t think Barnes wants to move on and trade up, but he’s smart to adjust. It’s a new game.

Opens a spot up for Phillips.

We were extremely close closing in on Phillips the first time until Wade flashed those dollar signs around.

 

[Vol49er]

And that’s fair, staff liked their chances last time with him as well so very well could happen again…my take on him is I feel better if he opts to decide soon, if he waits and starts taking visiting (not Tennessee) I don’t feel good.

Yeah, each passing day I’ve felt worse. This Tamba news helps me though

 

[bleedingTNorange]

We want this guy over the Princeton kid, Pack and Murray?

Yes…now maybe they try and still add one of those with the Tamba departure, idk.

 

[golfballs]

Eric Gaines?

There was already room for Phillips

OK last question on the mystery. How long are they expected to be here.......... and blink twice if its Pippen.

 

[cncchris33]

Eric Gaines?

He's already in the portal.

They would have 1 or 2 years remaining if they elected to use COVID year

Pippen has been strongly rumored to UK if he enters the portal and doesn't leave for the draft.

I'm liking my guess even more.

It was just a thought that popped into my hear earlier today. Weve beaten the hell out of Vandy in everything over the last year, then take their best basketball player. All 5 of their fans would be so mad.

If its the Collins kid im not excited. Another tiny PG

 

[wisvol22]

I don't think it's Pippen - doesn't fit the "not an elite scorer" box.

Yea who in their right mind would want the NCAA assist leader? Basketball noobs.
