I've played with Wes at TRECS a couple of times, that kid is lightning fast and can jump out of the building--he throws down some ridiculous dunks for a PG. I'd be surprised if he's not on the team next year. Like a few people have said, c'mon... he's just a freshman

Once again though, he'll be 3rd string behind Cory and trae and the staff is still trying to bring in a PG.

Why would Wes stay here as a 4th string PG? I just dont see it maybe I'm wrong though.

Have you been told this?

We have golden at PG, Cory Stanton at PG, and are trying to bring in another. That's 3 PG on the roster, why would Wes stay and be number 4?

So your saying the point guards that are coming in are better than Washpun?

You have not seen either one of them play and they are automatically better than Washpun. Good call though, I am sure every freshman that comes in is better than the players we have.

Washpun has nba quickness, hops, and heart! He must develop his shooting, his right hand, and the mental part of leading the team, in order for him to be a good college player. He has lots of potential. If he stays with the Vols, he could use a red shirt year next year for development.

He wasn't playing any before the T...those where the 1st minutes he had played in a while. Most of the games since have also been close must win games. So I don't think the T has anything to do with it.

There's no reason to assume he'll be beat out by a walk-on or another unknown future recruit. Right now he's the only true PG on the team

I've seen him struggle to dribble the ball up the court. He also can't run the offense. Those aren't traits that you want your PG to have.

He is fast and can jump high. Too bad that isn't all it takes to play basketball.

Swing and a miss!

Neither the guy that's here or the PG that they are going after are freshman.

The one here will be a redshirt sophomore, and if they pull a juco PG he will be a junior.

Good try though.

Cory Stanton is a much better PG.

He played decent minutes as a freshman on a ACC team.

I don't see wes doing that.

If they pull in a juco like they are trying, you can bet your ass hell be better than Wes.

I mean seriously think about it...the staff isn't gonna go recruit and bring in another project PG like Wes. If they bring in another PG it's going to be someone that can contribute, something Wes hasn't done.

Let's go ahead and cut Chievous too since he hasn't been contributing this year...

Yeah Washpun could have used a redshirt year but we had no depth at PG, if Trae goes down he's getting serious minutes. Stanton or the mystery recruit very well may be better but that remains to be seen

Stanton IS better as of now, there's no question.

Go look at Fabyon Harris and tell me he wouldn't play over washpun?

Really if golden goes down Wes is getting serious minutes???

Do you not remember trae being benched...do you remember who got those minutes??? Skylar, NOT Wes.

Theres a reason Jordan McRae is the back up PG and not washpun.

Whatever makes you feel better. Still had nothing to do with my main point which was, that you think whoever Counzo brings in is going to be better than Washpun. Yet you know all and have not seen either play.

I've seen Stanton play.

If you think Stanton isn't better than washpun then I can't help you.

2nd. If you think this staff is going to go bring another project PG in like washpun, who is worse than washpun, then once again I can't help you.

The point remains. Washpun would make Stanton look like rondo, and a juco guy they bring in like a Fabyon Harris will look like d rose compared to washpun.

As I said Stanton is much better than washpun, if you can't see that I'm sorry. Fabyon Harris the juco PG many feel we are pursuing, is a major d1 level PG. he's receiving major interest from Kansas and Ohio state, but no he's not better than Wes you're right.

You clearly have never seen or read anything on Stanton or Harris so I dot expect you to be knowledgable on them. However, don't say they aren't better than washpun because both definitely are.

Isn't Stanton a walk-on?

Yes, but apparently had scholarship offers to other major schools he just really wanted to come home is the word.

He played decent minutes as a freshman or Clemson and his numbers were pretty comparable to tears last year.

Golden has improved his game considerably and that could be one reason Washpun isn't playing. So has McBee and McRae. Washpun has some good physical talents. He is a great leaper and has long arms. He is a project and a freshman who needs development. I believe he is one of the emergency recruits that CM brought in on the fly with Richardson, Cheivous and others. Whether or not he will contribute in the future is a good question.

Seems like they (Wes and Stanton) are pretty similar.

Compare College Basketball Players - StatSheet.com

Neither looks like UT's savior at the PG position, though.

Trae is the PG the next 2 years there no debating that.

Landry will be here traes senir year and should be able to take the reins his sophomore year.

I think our PG situation is fine.

The Stanton washpun argument is more of a back up argument. That's why I say I dont see wes wanting to stay here if he's gonna be 3rd string for his UT tenure.

I honestly think if CCM had it to do over he wouldn't have brought in Wes, and probably not yemi.

If I remember correctly, when he "brought in" Yemi, there was nobody on the team named Stokes.

You're exactly right which is what I was saying.

If he knew Trae was gonna turn out this good, and stokes was gonna sign here that he probably wouldn't have brought in yemi or Wes.

Like I said if he had it to do over now.

Washpun had barely been playing any before the Florida game. The technical has nothing to do with his lack of play. He's not playing because Martin tightened the rotation, other guys stepped up and he's just not ready to contribute positively to the team.
