On a serious note and all bickering aside this would be a dream class. Also if Stokes were to go pro you could always add another big man to the group in the spring.

All right you two. Whip em out. We still aren't sure whose is the biggest.

If we are fighting about which ones of this group we land, we are in good shape.

If stokes were to leave yea we'd definitely need to add another big.

If stokes stays, but we make room for a 5th, Id like to bring in a PG(even if it is Landry)

Agree 100%. I would love to land the guard from NYC.

Terrence Samuel, definitely agree!

Hubbs, JW3, and Nichols would be BONKERS. That's a pretty good three amigos.

Landing both of them would be a big coup. UT is not at the level where they can beat UM for their top local priority. But they can handle them on their secondary choice. It is very possible that a West Tennessee class of Hubs, Nichols, and Williams could be Vols next year."

Based on the reports coming about how smooth Nichols has looked on the low block. These 3 would not only be highly ranked guys but 3 guys that, at least on paper, would mesh well together on the court. Would be a huge haul for CCM and the Vols.

You know anything about Crawford's injury? Was it serious or not?

Had an MRI yesterday, haven't heard results yet. Obviously everyone's hoping it's not ACL at this point.

What I like is that Coach Zo has them in the conversation with top end talent with a good shot at landing some no matter where they are located. We are going to be very, very glad he agreed to come to Knoxville.

Being from Memphis I have heard talk around town that Nichols and Hubbs are strongly considering UT. It's believed that it could be King\Johnson to Memphis and Hubbs\Nichols to UT. I have heard people involved in the AAU circuit mention that Crawford could be a
possibility for UT but regarding JWIII no one seems to have a clear consensus. He's kept his recruitment pretty close to the vest.
Hubbs and Nichols would be the foundation for a great recruiting class IMO.

Seems to be what the consensus is. Crawford likes UF, but they may just not have room for him right now.

As you said, Jw3 is a tough one to figure.

No offense to Galilee because I've heard he knows his stuff but pointless info that we already knew. Anyone with half a brain that's watched this summer's recruiting already knew we stood a good chance at all three of these guys so I'm having trouble interpreting the "good news".

The circles I hear from are saying pretty much the same thing. UT has a good shot at both Nichols and Hubbs, but there are still one or two other schools in the running for both.

I'm still skeptical on the JW3/UT stuff, but I'm skeptical on pretty much all JW3 rumors because, as the above poster said, he keeps everything very close.

Shaun, the good news was more adequate info on where JW3 stands. Galilee is well respected and has plenty of inside info on the Memphis area in general. We all knew that we were in the running for JW3, but it gives more validation to what we were all hoping for. He's been the least open about his recruitment other than the fact that he was hoping UK would be offering.
