Vols land 4-star SF Jahmai Mashack

[TennVols12]

Impressive video. I love how he emphasizes how much he loves to work hard. I'm sure that is what drew Barnes to him.

"There isn't an elevator to the top. Only stairs."

Anyone else see him travel?

 

[BigBadVol]

Rick Barnes has elevated this to a top tier program

Yes he has!

 

[chazman]

Hungry and humble. this kid is going to be great

 

[golfballs]

Also fills an obvious need for the 2022 season with Bailey and possibly Chandler gone

 

[Tnphil]

Welcome!!

Got to be about the best commitment video I've ever seen....Well grounded, no look at me and thanked the ones that got him to this point. He's the kind you win with.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Please no - reminds me of KY

Well, shoot! I forgot all about Mashburn....Mash Attack?

Speaks to where Barnes has the program. TN getting a player of this caliber no longer surprises anyone. It wasn’t too many years ago when this kid would have been the highest rated recruit on TN’s entire team.

...and we all would've been thrilled!

Haha, I noticed that too.

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

Probably the most insightful, informative commitment video I've ever seen. It speaks volumes about who this young man is as a person. Great fit.

Agree 100%. Very humble young man. Certainly not all about himself like many these days. Speaks volumes about his family and how he has been raised. Proud to have young men like this represent our team and university. As the oter poster said, great fit. GO VOLS

 

[The Vin Man]

Ridiculous. Are we now lowering our standards to 4 star players who bareIy cracked the top 50??

 

[The Dog]

Is Jahmai wearing a Durant SuperSonics jersey at the start of the video ? If so, Durant is the gift that keeps on giving to Barnes

Well, u all suck and I had to look it up myself, but yeah, Durant was #35, his one season with the SuperSonics

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Cool. My brother in law lives in Rancho Cucamonga. I’ll see if he’s heard anything about this kid.

 

[livefaith]

This is really getting old. Rick Barnes STILL coasting into retirement on UTs dime.

 

[livefaith]

Wow. What an announcement video!

I'm already proud to have this young man represent us!

 

[BowlBrother85]

Among the schools that Mashack picked Tennessee over is Arizona. I love that Barnes is even beating out some of the cheaters now. Integrity can still prevail.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Gonna be a guy the reporters gush over like they did Admiral and Grant. All around great guy. Can’t wait till he gets on campus.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Wow listen to how intelligent he sounds!...Good work ethic is gonna make that kid a star in life and on the court...Welcome to Big Orange country!

Wouldn’t he be the highest ranked guy from Stokes till JJJ?

 

[Tnphil]

With this commit, I hope Shadrach and Abednego follow.

 

[Volfan1000]

Richardson clone who is the first basketball recruit from California in a while.

 

[lincolncovol]

An awesome video......... just wished he would have thrown an alabama hat at the end

 

[PreacherVol2]

Outstanding video! One of the best I've ever seen from a high schooler!

Well, Bama wasn't in the running, but Arizona was and that would have made me smile. But, seriously, this kid is too classy to pull a stunt like that. Seems like a high character kid, imo
