yah really?

Not that this isn't awesome news, but how the hell does Wes Rucker know that? The Stallings/father part?

He said he was told by someone close to the Vandy program.

I really didn't know a Huntington High existed until you mentioned it TBH lol. I always thought Patterson played at Huntington Prep though.

Either way....I'd be FINE getting this kid! :rock:

Huntington Prep is private, Huntington High is public.

Sweet news. And everyone says he wants to stay close to home. Duke's 5 hours further that Knoxville.

 

[MemphisCanes]

SIAP but Rucker on 247 said that Kevin Stallings had his in home visit w/ Austin on Saturday night during the UF/UT game & that supposedly Austin's dad was cheering very loudly for Tennessee & it annoyed Stallings. Lol.

Rucker said from the sources he has talked to Vandy isn't in the hunt that much & it's really down to UT/Duke.

I thought Nichols had his visit to Vandy last weekend, not an in-home.

Been UT/Duke since coach K offered. UT lead prior. Nothing has really changed since all that happened, except the current Zo Mo

Aren't you his AD or something?

Nichols will be a vol, J3 pretty unlikely.CCM may monitor some big through the year, but look for a Landry, hubbs, davis and Nichols class.

It's far from over with Nichols. Like where we are right now but official visiting Duke will be tough to follow.. Lets hope we can get it done. GO vols!

 

[FightingScott]

Very much different. Nichols has more range and handles the ball a lot better. He's a terrific passer. Stokes is more of a true center and can bang in the paint. They would compliment each other very nicely if they get the chance to play together.

So Nichols is more Tobias-esque, if you will? Man, I wish Tobias had stayed.

It's not far from over, it's actually very close to over. I think he's ready to commit, but you don't cancel on K, hell take that visit.

When is his Duke visit?

 

[Stoked]

Negative

You know the AD? I remember seeing some sort of connection.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

When is his Duke visit?

October 6th.

 

[MemphisCanes]

October 6th.

He may pop before that.

I would for sure compare him more to Tobias than Stokes.

Tennessee. I'm telling you. Duke shouldn't scare anyone. He's going to go because it's Coach K and Duke. He's a VOL. No worries here.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He may pop before that.

Think so?

I wouldn't think he'd cancel on K, no reason to really, not like we won't have a spot.

So somewhere in between? Sorry for asking so many questions.

I wish people would stop with the "I wish Tobias had stayed." If Tobias had stayed we wouldn't have had a scholly for Stokes and he wouldn't be here right now. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I've always understood it.

If Tobias had stayed, I doubt Dwight Miller is a Vol.

IMO.

Yes pretty much. But maybe CCM wouldn't have picked up Q or Wes and left one open?

Oh yeah I forgot about him too. I think we would have had one open.

 

[CAVol]

I stand corrected, then. Stokes and Tobias with Maymon. Yeah that would have been epic for sure.

Tobias at the 3 position in that line up would've been spectacular. I would've forfeited a year or two off the back end of my life to have seen that.
