Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

Also this is a 31 point game Tyreke Key put up against a solid Loyola Chicago team. The guy has such a good shot. Think he will be a good pick up if we can withstand the Texas Tech visit.

I watched that game against Auburn and dude can play

saw that game and dozens more of the past 3 years.
he's a take IMO

Saint Louis fans seem to be confident Tennessee has no chance with Yuri

More bad news from TBG

Football is irrelevant in terms to this convo. Barnes has said in the past if a guy makes NIL his main priority that's a "red flag". You simply can't make public comments like that. And Compared to other schools basketball NIL is just not there. Arkansas has a Walmart NIL deal, Kentucky has car dealership NIL deals ect. Merchandise and a simple Ad isn't enough.

Arkansas doesn't have a Walmart NIL deal, or at least none have been announced

Every Arkansas fan I’ve talked to believes it’s happening in the next couple of weeks

And Tennessee doesn’t have an $8 million NIL deal for Nico Iamaleava either.

Watch this video of his 19 assist game against BC. Dude has such a good feel for the game, and his 3pt shot reminds me an awful lot of Chandlers. He is also very fast like Kennedy.

That is impressive. Not super explosive, but very crafty with the ball. Makes smart reads. I like him.

Duh, we knew that. He’s headed to Australia!

That wasn’t a negative tweet I’m just saying what the general consensus is around Saint Louis fans

If y'all don't remember, this is the same guy that broke Tony Delk's scoring record for the TSSAA state tournament. Dude is different. He's honestly a right handed JJJ with a bit more creativity.

Yea, they had zero clue Nesbitt was leaving until he announced today too.

Are they saying he’s not going to leave St. Louis, or just that he won’t be coming to Tennessee when he does transfer?

St. Louis has fans?

 

[Kas232323]

St. Louis has fans?

He gets his inside info on St Louis by posting on their boards under the name ‘StLouisBasketballGuru’…. Lends him extra credibility with their fan base.

They believe there’s 0 shot he transfers. Saint Louis should have a top-20 team next year if he returned so I guess that’s what they are banking on as a recruitment pitch to come back

Thanks. Sounds like wishful thinking on their part, to me. He could still play on a top 20 team here, and he would be playing against better competition to prepare him for the draft. I don’t know if he’s projected, but I would have to think that’s on his mind.

Makes sense...since they've only finished in the AP top 25 once since 2013-14.

Yuri is a very good PG but he's no where near as quick as KC.

Saw you took the info to the SLU board and wasn’t received very well

Plus SLU gets back Javonte Perkins next year. He suffered an ACL in their 1st exhibition game. JP is a heckuva player. They just announced Larry Hughes, Jr has committed. Understand LHJ will be a walk on next year. Perhaps SLU is pretty sure Yuri is staying after his NBA evaluation.

I quickly glanced at the SLU forum, too. I believe your original post was from VQ and Rob Lewis in the War Room. That's a little more than just rumor. I am not saying it's going to happen either, but Rob gets info from the coaching staff.

 

[Schasz]

Yep! They have a some fans who live in a dream of the day SLU will be a top program. I'm not of that same thinking as I don't think much of Travis Ford as a HC. One NCAA trip in 6 years doesn't quite cut it with me, but then maybe my expectations are too high.

My main concern is the shoulder surgery. He popped it in the last two seasons he played and had the surgery last year. Kind of sounds like a Lamonte deal.

I don’t recall Turner ever sitting out an entire year to rehab, he also had a pretty unique injury iirc.
