Tennessee State Transfer M.J. Rhett Ready For Success

Rhett said he has been talking the most with Tennessee, Miami and Ole Miss—calling them the three frontrunners at the moment. He said he really likes the opportunity at Tennessee with head coach Cuonzo Martin, who has his team in the middle of a Sweet Sixteen run.

“I like the coaching staff. I like the opportunities there. Like the opportunity to go there and play with Jarnell Stokes, but he may be going to the league,” Rhett said.

Lists offers from: Illinois, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Miami (FL), Ole Miss, Wichita State, Memphis, Villanova, Georgia Tech, Minnesota, Alabama, New Mexico and Texas A&M.

A big part of what makes Rhett such an attractive commodity is how he performed against quality teams last season.
Tennessee: 14 points, five rebounds and three blocks.
Wichita State: 16 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.
Belmont: 10 points and 19 rebounds.

Is he any good?

Is he any good?

I believe the offer list sufficiently answers your question.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Is he any good?

Not trying to sound like an a$$, but look at the offer list....pretty impressive.

 

[JackHVFL]

We could use a few big men...

 

[johnnybravo]

Would be a great pick up

Is he any good?

He's played well against good competition. I think he would be a nice fit.

Doesn't have to sit out a year?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Would be a great pick up

At the risk of sounding like a homer, I think he could step right in to Maymon's spot and provide identical numbers if not better. He's more athletic than Maymon, and really takes pride in rebounding.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Doesn't have to sit out a year?

No, graduate transfer, just like Barton.

Good.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Good.

Yup, could step right into Maymon's spot.

 

[jspvol76]

If we got him and Stokes returned, next season would look much better.

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

Impressive numbers against Wichita State. Nothing comes easy against that team.

 

[cncchris33]

If Stokes returns, and we land Rhett, a frontline of...
Stokes 6-8 260
Rhett 6-9 235
Davis 6-8 220
Cofer 6-8 220
Turman 6-9 235
...looks pretty intimidating from a size standpoint.

BTO. What do you think the possiblity is of landing him?

Don't forget Pops

I think if Martin wants him and there's a scholarship for him he's ours. I don't know what gonna go in with Reese or Q, but I assume one is leaving.

 

[Stoked]

When is he announcing? Or has he said that yet? would be a HUGE get.

 

[cncchris33]

Don't forget Pops

He was purposely omitted. I have little hope.

Reese has ben getting some minutes in the tourney...I would think it would be Q that would be transferring.

From article linked in OP...

Rhett said he is looking to make his decision in the next three to four weeks, and he will likely trim down his list after this weekend. The talented transfer said he is looking for a list of things in a potential destination—with winning being the top priority.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Reese has ben getting some minutes in the tourney...I would think it would be Q that would be transferring.

I agree with you on this

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He was purposely omitted. I have little hope.

Hey, he looks intimidating coming off the bus at least haha

I agree though, if Stokes were to return and we land Rhett, our frontline all of a sudden becomes a strength.
