We all pretty much have a good idea where Nichols and Hubbs stand. Weve heard we're in Jw3 top 3, but haven't heard much more than that or much even about that.
Galilee is as reliable as they come, and him giving this news on Jw3 is the biggest part of it. Makes it sound VERY possible that we could pull all three of hubbs, Nichols and Jw3. |

With JW3 wanting to play the 3, that would give each player (Hubbs and Nichols) a defined position and they wouldn't be competing against each other. A class like that would usher in a new era in UT basketball IMO. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

We see the effects of just having a Memphis grown star like jarnell, adding 2 more in Nichols and Jw3(and possibly a 3rd in Crawford) would set this program up nicely going forward.
The 2013 class is going to set the stage for the next 3-5 years IMO. A great class, and this program is headed to new heighs IMO. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Imagine a starting lineup of: Golden, Hubbs, Jw3, Nichols, Stokes...wow! With McRae coming off the bench. | |

I've been saying, I think CCM is trying to set up a final four caliber team next year, and it's looking plausible. | |

He doesn't like to go against guys his size, that's why he wants to be a 3, because hell be bigger than his defender most nights. | |

| So with this in mind does this mean the Shannon Hale to UT is off the table and that he is still committed to Bama? | |
