Recruiting targets...

[volwarrior33]

When Pearl was hired, he brought Childress (already signed with UWM) with him. Here are some names Cuonzo could be looking at:

Signed with Missouri State
3* PF Christian Kirk
3* PG Dorrian Williams
Unranked PF Andrew Wilson

Considered Missouri State leans
3* SG Josh Richardson
3* PG Wesley Washpun

Top 3 includes Missouri State
4* PF Otto Porter


Richardson and Porter in the Top 150. I wouldn't be surprised if Zo brought a couple of these guys in, especially in the post.

4* PF? Please.

bet that Richardson kid turns out to be able to shoot the lights out

Great research and post. With UT being weak next year, it should be an option for a couple.

If he keeps Ware/Jones, and brings in two big men, I'm good.

 

[trevols81]

His first priority, as it pertains to recruiting, should be to keep Hopson and Harris on the team.

Second, Jones and Ware.

Third, Stokes.

Then the guys recruited to Mo. State.

 

[zehr27]

Josh Richardson is a sleeper.

Out of all those kids Richardson is who I would key in on along with the big 4* Porter.

Please sign Richardson

 

[colvol]

Otto Porter can play guys.

 

[KnoxVillain]

I want a guy named Otto on my team.

 

[tonybologna]

4* PF Otto Porter

Check!

3* SG Josh Richardson

Check!

We get these two players and keep Jones and Ware plus try to convince Hopson and Harris to stay then we could be a lot better than it was looking. That would be 6 key players to have available. hmy:

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Ware doesn't seem like a Martin prospect considering he's big on 3pt shooting

 

[patrick]

kevin ware - 4 star - #56 natl

chris jones - 4 star - #39 natl

I agree, but only to an extent. I don't think he needs to overtly encourage them to stay. he needs to give them the best advice he can based on their potential draft position. This would go a long way toward earning their respect IMO.

 

[top5vols]

Porter would be a big signee for the Vols.

Agreed, I think Jones would be more his type of player.

 

[namasteVOLfans]

Otto Porter can play guys.

because he's a 4 star? Or u have seen him play?

Josh Richardson could numb some of the pain of losing Chris Jones

Agree! Let's hope he comes to UT with Martin.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

Porter sounds like a solid player. He needs to beef up, though.

You make a good point but if Harris isn't a lottery pick he should come back for another year and learn to play some defense.

Hopson will be lucky to be drafted at all, IMO.

 

[tonybologna]

Hopson will be lucky to be drafted at all, IMO.

^^^ Agree! He might get drafted alright! In the Turkish Basketball League.

Porter

The skilled 6-foot-8 forward is a sure bet to make a huge climb up the rankings from his current spot of 97 when things get adjusted. Over the weekend he won his third straight state title and became the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Missouri Final Four. At the moment, he figures to be a very heavy lean to Missouri but Georgetown has been putting in work and he's recently added Kansas to his final list of schools.
