Markel Crawford made a HUGE jump, and that's a great sign, seeing as how he's said Tennessee is his favorite.

Still very concerned about Martins ability to recruit.

Serious or sarcasm?

knowing Nick King is a great scorer/shooter, where do you think we stand right now with him?

he seems to have a list of about 6-8 schools still right now, and tennessee is in that group. if hes favoring anyone of those schools he isnt letting anybody know.

i dont feel great about our chances, but then again our chances are probably just about as good as anyone of those teams. id say somewhere around 10-15%, once some visits start happening should get a better feel.

he seems to be leaning towards waiting to sign later in the year versus november.

im adding solomon poole to the list, now highest ranked guy we're recruiting.

we're in on a few elite scorers for the 2013 class: king, hubbs, mostella, poole, and thornwell just to name a few are all elite scorers...hopefully we can land atleast one of those guys.

That's valid IMO. On the other hand, I see reason to be optimistic.

[Chris4Vols22]

I've been interested in Crawford. Glad to see he made a good impression.

i expected him to jump into the 150, but WOW, what a leap.

i'd assume out of all seriousness. i feel the same way to be honest.

I wasnt dogging him, I was just curious if it was serious or sarcasm. I get why some are worried, but IMO they shouldn't be.

I'm not worried about his recruitment. When you consider all things, his first 2 classes were acceptable. However, if 2013 isn't a good class then I will begin to worry, but at this point I have no reason to worry.

[bleedingTNorange]

so by my count we're in on:

8 top 50 recruits, and are in good shape with 5 of them.

12 top 100 recruits, and are in good shape with 7 of them.

17 top 150 recruits, and are in good shape with 11 of them.



this class definitely has the makings to be a great one, very excited.
