Recruiting news

[bleedingTNorange]

Yeah we made a mistake there but I understand why we made the decision. A bird in the hand..

They didn't pick Evans over Yurtseven, Yurtseven came to the US and didn't visit Tennessee so coaches moved on.

Thought the story was that he was interested in taking a visit but we declined?

No, staff tried to get him to visit and he never did.

Should be a new name or 2 pop up soon in recruiting. Will be interesting to see where the other 1-2 scholarships will go. Hopefully some influential big men!

Should be or just hoping??

It's that time of year. Coaches out at Holiday Tourneys/Home-Visits, Recruits have time to visit school when they don't have games. I wouldn't be surprised to see us sneak a recruit in or 2 on OVs over the break.

I wish we had an updated target list.

I wish we had an updated target list.

Since Barnes did so well getting 6 under rated freshmen in the last cycle, it makes sense that he's not going to publicize his targets going forward. That doesn't make the Basilios and others happy that want to see big news. There's only a single 2017 scholarship available and if CRB doesn't get the flashy 5 star, I'm confident he'll make a wise choice using it.

Saying that, 247 should have some kind of offers list, no?

 

[cwbytruckers]

I'm curious with how these freshman are playing and with them being better in my opinion than their rating and probably most other people thought. How does everyone feel about Kent being better than his rating? Or are people finally realizing we have a hell of a coach that knows how to game plan. When these freshman gain experience they are going to be a hand full. Can't wait for Bone to return.

Derek Walker Jr. had said in a recent interview that he would likely be OV'ing to Tennessee, so that's one to watch.

You can get that from 247 Sports without VIP access too. Go to Tennessee's basketball page & there's a pulldown from there to pick "targets".

IMO, he would be a solid pickup

Reminds me a bit of Grant Williams

He looks like a guy big enough to play the 4 or 5. I would be ok with him on the roster. If he comes in and they rework his body like they did with Williams he could be more athletic and a nice presence inside. I hope we land him.

I'm noticing a trend

Fulkerson=Kent
Very similar players

Williams=Walker Jr.
Also very similar players

Barnes is sticking with his recruiting plan. Man this in the post next year would be pretty big.

Fulkerson
Williams
Alexander
Walker Jr
Kent

Will be much better equipped in the low post.

Guards/SF: Mostella, Phillips, Scholfield, Bowden, Turner, Bone, Parker, Johnson

PF/C:Alexander, Fulkerson, Williams, Kent, and Walker Jr.

We are a lot solid this year than I thought we'd be, but next year I believe we are a tournament team.

Guards/SF: good but remove Scholfield who will transfer out and add Yves Pons. Pons and Johnson will be the Hubbs replacement.

He WILL huh?

I think he will too bold above. He's not playing much & seems to not fit what CRB wants to do. I believe he'll transfer out after this season.

Is this guy any good?

Near as I can tell, he's got zero stars.
Rick'll probably be all over him.

But he is a 4 or 5 moon recruit depending on which service is used.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Pretty good player. Size, decent moves, and he's got hops.

Unless ETSU is recruiting him he isn't any good. LOL
