Recruiting Discussion

Rob Lewis just posted Akinjo is visiting next weekend. He has four visits left that he can take.

James Akinjo slated to OV next weekend, will have 3 more to take if he chooses so but the fact the Vols locked down the first obviously means we are at least 1/4 finalists at worst.

I’m sure the other two will be Arizona and Georgetown

DJ burns would move our class to #4 in the country (247) if he commits .

Rob said Arizona is our toughest competition for Akinjo at the moment.

West coast and major minutes at a big time program...might be hard to top that.

Hope he still has some hesitation on Miller and the FBI investigation.

For ‘19? ...Akinjo is now, ‘18!!! Getting either or both would be huge! GBO

He would be a game changer at point.

Akinjo is currently on an OV to Georgetown...Tennessee next week, already visited UCONN obviously.

Georgetown isn’t really a player here, are they?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Georgetown isn’t really a player here, are they?

Absolutely. Why would you think otherwise?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Absolutely. Why would you think otherwise?

Thought I saw where Ramey or someone said Georgetown wasn’t a factor. Could’ve been someone else they were referring to.

Yea I think you’ve got the wrong guy

 

[BurninOrange]

One I worry bout the most is Zona. If proximity plays a factor then Zona will be tough. If not then I think we got a very real shot. I am gonna say the way it looks distance is not going to be an issue.

Zona also offers immediate majoring playing time at a somewhat blue blood program, not something you see very often...now the reason for that is the FBI mess and so does he buy Miller is clean and will be there for 4 years? Who knows.

Kinda hope he sees through that snake oil salesman of a coach.

Mentioned him in another thread but saw it confirmed in Twitter, Tennessee has reached out to former MTSU big man commit Carlos Curry along with Florida State, Ole Miss, Georgia, Buffalo, Witichia State, Illionis State, and Cincinnati.

6’11” 230lbs, has a pretty impressive offer list for a guy that was committed to MTSU...I’ve been campaigning for a big man, this guy would fit the bill for sure.

Would have to think Ole Miss has the inside track for him

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I would think they’d have a really good chance, but the fact he’s running with AAU team tells me he may be more open than one would think.

Someone mentioned today as well he may go to prep school for a year, if grades are an issue that would explain how he ended up at MTSU.

Carlos Curry is a major project. He has potential but is a long way form a finished product. He is more of a project than Alexander was. He does not play against great teams. He does not give good effort on defense. He just has a long way to go for fit into coach barnes system. I would pass on him.

I disagree that he’s more of a project than Alexander...alexander had only played b-ball for 3 years AND was also incredibly thin, this guy has played year round ball for year and is already physically built for SEC play.
