Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[BigOrangeMojo]

So....anyone get any lawsuits in the mail today?

The guy lives in his mom's basement. He's not going to be able to afford FedEx. We will all be served via snail mail with postage due....

Meant to mention last night, KyeRon Lindsay is a guy we recruited pretty hard and expected to get an OV from who ended up at UNLV, he just got his release from UNLV and is opening things back up. Florida hired the assistant that recruited him to UNLV so thought is he may follow, or want to just get closer to home, but we shall see, I think Tennessee will reach out and gauge interest there.

We should definitely pursue. That position is a big need. This coming season there will defintely be the opportunity for playing time, and the year after it's wide open. Theoretically we at least could return a pretty solid lineup...
ZZ/Edwards, Powell, Mashack, Lindsay, Aidoo

so hypothetically if we land our targets:

Not really sure what to expect from Key. At ISU he could play 1-3 but that's also a much different lineup. Also, under Barnes seems like level of defense is a big factor in playing time. Not really sure what to expect from him there. Also, returning from an injury I suppose could limit time, at least at first.

Collins seems like a pure PG, but maybe they try to run him at 2 a little bit? Otherwise Zeigler probably looking at a step back in minutes? Will be an interesting balancing act with the talent/skill on this lineup.

Key starting over SV?

Key starting over SV?

No, just higher share of minutes at the 2

 

[johnfnkelly]

No, just higher share of minutes at the 2

I would imagine those minutes would flip then. Key is a bigger and more physical player. I don’t see enough on ball skills to translate as a 2 guard in the SEC.

I think Key is a lock.

Seent it.

Not a chance

 

[golfballs]

Not a chance

That's not how these charts work

So like no time spent there? That might open the door for Edwards to get some playing time if it's not Collins. I'm just not sure if we'll see him play a role like we used KC in the 2 PG lineup

I would think you can just give Key all or most of Powell's minutes at SF (and/or add to Phillips), and give ZZ Key's SG minutes. No chance ZZ is playing just 14 minutes a game next year.

I’m excited about Yuri. Granted, I don’t know much if any about him other than seeing stats and reading here. Love the assists and boards though! Seems like Barnes guy for sure.

Watched all of Yuri's games last year and he'll be a very good addition and take over the starting PG on next years team.

I knew Key was a strong guy, but didn’t realize he was that big. Dude’s jacked.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Guy from Princeton de-committed from Clemson. Were we ever recruiting him? If not, wonder if we do this time around?

Yes, and don’t be surprised if Yuri catches him before he leaves town.

 

[Yeiser10]

Guru wouldn’t approve of that BTO

 

[Delmar]

NIL deals can’t be conditioned on a player’s enrollment at a particular school. Whatever he got at Memphis he keeps, and if they tried to take it back, he could just turn them in to the NCAA for rules violations.

Definitely poor ROI on that one then. That’s why these folks have to be careful doling out that money. It may become like scholarships. One year deals that have to be renewed every year.

Yuri is in town too?
