Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

WF is scheduled to be the final visit.

Since that’s the case I bet he doesn’t make it to Wake

Lots of talk that coaches will have to adapt to NIL and portal or die. I think that’s partially true. At the same time, I think that teams being able to keep a core of players for multiple years is going to be even more valuable in the new environment.

Tennessee is in good hands as long as Barnes is there.

Anyone care to post the relevant stuff? I keep hearing all the buzz is around Louisville, but he hasn’t even visited Louisville yet. I’m sure we’re not really seriously in the running, but still curious.

If Hunter cares about winning, he's not picking Louisville. They are a year away from being good, at the least. He just finished his Gonzaga visit, but I haven't seen any inside reports on that visit. Still think he's Kansas's to lose. With the wave of retirements, Bill Self has ended up being a top 4 coach.

“Right now, we hear from Tennessee a lot; I’ve enjoyed communicating with them these last few weeks,” Scott said.

Tennessee: “Whenever I talk with them, I come away antsy about their program. I am not sure what exactly it is, but it is something I want to see about them. They’re guard heavy there, but they are a team I am looking forward to looking into.

Wants to get to Knoxville for a visit.

Just a technicality, but KC is a departure.

But an important one, since it changes the number of available scholarships!

We have 4 available if that’s what you were trying to decipher.

Well fulkerson doesn’t count for that, so your errors canceled out in that respect

NBA Combine invite list is out. It should be a harbinger of decisions to come. Lots of portal guys not listed.

One would presume JJJ and Santi not being invited to the combine would make that decision easy for them.

Just read through some of the comments. At this point, I don’t think anyone knows where the kid lands. I hope he’s a Vol but have a feeling Pearl and son are promising the kid guaranteed minutes.

I can see him going to the G league to jumpstart his career at pro level.

We have a lot of holes to fill on this roster which is a bit concerning. Jmo

Go Vols.

Tyrese Hunter is now visiting Texas this weekend. Still no Louisville visit. There are some random Twitter “reporters” who claim to be working the Texas beat that say Hunter has narrowed his list to Texas or Tennessee. TIFWIW.

I’m seeing people say that is his last visit, but wouldn’t he still have 1 more? Purdue, Tennessee, Gonzaga & Texas…if he’s not visiting Louisville or Kansas that would be good news. Texas has a loaded backcourt, hard to see that being real appealing but who knows.

Looks like Kansas has one spot available, seems to me they moved on to Mosley for that final spot, from reading on some of their boards.

Yea that could be the case too, wasn’t thinking about them maybe backing off…I was wrong about Texas though, they have a pretty clear path to 25-30mpg for Hunter, I guess I was thinking pre-Askew departure.

Yeah I think we would still have one more visit left if he so chooses to use it. Texas people seem fairly confident they are in strong position before the visit, but who really knows. You had said our staff wasn’t confident in landing Hunter so I won’t get my hopes up, but i figured this was at least enough information to peak my interest.
