Recruiting news

[Vols All Day]

I'm noticing a trend

Fulkerson=Kent
Very similar players

Williams=Walker Jr.
Also very similar players

Barnes is sticking with his recruiting plan. Man this in the post next year would be pretty big.

Fulkerson
Williams
Alexander
Walker Jr
Kent

Will be much better equipped in the low post.

Guards/SF: Mostella, Phillips, Scholfield, Bowden, Turner, Bone, Parker, Johnson

PF/C:Alexander, Fulkerson, Williams, Kent, and Walker Jr.

We are a lot solid this year than I thought we'd be, but next year I believe we are a tournament team.

I think your off on the comparisons. Fulkerson and Kent are totally different. Kent has been referred to as a stretch 4 who has sneaky athletism. I just watched a little on Walker, but he did not seem as savy as Williams. Also, I think the writing is on the wall regarding Admiral.

Sounds good to me. With a good coach I see 4 star or 5 star potential by senior year.

Let that "soon" happen to be us. That would be such a nice surprise.

Garland mentioned Tennessee 3rd after Duke and Vandy when discussing who was pushing hardest for him.

Are there any shooters in the class of 2017 that we have looked at or might look at?

It's crazy how this team really is overloaded with guard/wing types that don't shoot it well consistently. The new scholarship spot may need to be spent on a good shooter.

Nada.
Pons is exciting as hell though. Softens the losses.

Maybe off topic, but, coach Barnes needs to get up to Gate City, Va. to check out Mac McClung, a 6-2 6-3 junior guard that is already receiving Division 1 offers. Last night he scored 47 points against one of the better teams in the area. He has incredible leaping ability and can score from long range or inside and can dunk with ease. He is an athlete that is unique for his size.

That would be awesome to have someone that can shoot the lights out. So many of them wind up in Div. II and leave me scratching my noggin.

Get the address to Barnes so he can send a postcard.

Yep. Barnes sure is heck won't go. That's a long 2 hour drive

That translates into most of a full day of work. 4 hours driving plus the time spent while there. A post card and a phone call makes sense.

It's called recruiting. Its part of his job. A job he gets paid $2.4 million to do.

He gets paid to win games, if he sits in his office in Knoxville for the next 5 years and never spends a day on the road recruiting but wins games and has us in the tourney I don't give a $h!t

But he's not done that , no?

We are at 1.5 years, too early to tell.

Pretty much met expectations last year, this year TBD...if this team wins 16+ games then we are on the right track IMO.

Pretty sure TN won yesterday.

Until then he needs to get off his butt and hit the trail.
