Shooting Guard

I am not up to date with our basketball recruiting. I know that we got some huge (wide) guy this year to help bang down low. Who are we going after this year that can be a good spot shooter to replace Lofton?

Cameron Tatum. He's 6'6", can play SG or SF, and was considered one of the best shooters in his class coming out of high school last year. From what I've heard, he can knock it down from long range.

He's a pretty good shooter. We are in it for a few SGs for the 08 class as well.

yeah he can.. Ive watched him on TV.. he can shoot long range and he's a slasher and can finish around the rim..
He's got some hops too!!! i could see him being the backup g/f for J. Smith and Lofton..

He's a 4-5 star guy. I thought we had more than just 2 guys signed, but it says on Volquest that just Tatum and Williams have committed. Don't we have a team mate of Williams' as well?

Just saw his video / interview on Rivals.com. The guy looks solid - seems like he has some serious b-ball smarts too.

Regardless of the struggles Vol Hoops are having this year, in 2007-2008 Pearl is going to have a monster program.

I think William's teammate was(is) Tabb. They use to play together I believe..

**hvwarrior58** · 01-29-2007, 08:32 PM

That would be correct.

Hopefully Crews and especially Chism still grow while they're in college. My dad grew 3 inches. A 6'10, 6'11 Chism would make a good Center. He dunks, shoots, good D, good hands. All good things

Tatum will be perfect for Bruce. He also brings a little bit more size to the SF pos. say than Bradshaw who starts at PF.

Don't forget J.P. Prince. He's pretty much a recruit for next season.

Dawson · 01-31-2007, 05:14 PM

J.P. didnt hardly play at the school he came from. I dont know how much he will help us. I may be wrong though.

Zona has better overall talent than we do though.

I've heard some promising things about JP. They say he has been driving at will on our defense(who hasn't?) and is dominant with his left hand. They also say he needs to improve defense and outside shooting which was a known.
