Lol. They are wrong. The five is a post up back to the basket player. They don't have to be 7 footers. About every team in the SEC has them. So what you're saying is that we should resign ourselves to little to no low post scoring from the five?

Okay. I said none of that. But, okay.
 
They have brought in Khwan Fore a graduate transfer from Richmond on an official visit and right now it seems at PG he is their preference for 2018 class. He is having to decide if coming to Tennessee in a reserve role on a Top 15 team is what he wants, or if going to a ETSU/UAB and getting 30mpg but maybe no NCAAT trip is what he wants. Vols seem willing to wait on his decision, which I would expect sometime soon, if he goes elsewhere I would expect them to continue to explore grad transfer PG market.

As for the other spot, all signs point to Rivals Top 100 big man reclassifying into 2018 and joining the Volunteers. Now some people are going to say Barnes had no plan and this is him grasping at straws, but Barnes and staff have been recruiting Burns for 2+ years, I would say it’s pretty likely they knew all along him reclassifying was a possibility.

Barnes plan was to miss on petrusev, then Simons, then have an additional spot come available and then fill it with the exact two guys that he ends up signing. Everyone knows that.
 
With Mann being on an OV it got me thinking, is an OV only for an alloted amount of time, such as 2 days, or can it go longer than that?
 
Per VQ...

No commitment from Mann and he is OV’ing to Florida next weekend, would like to decide after that but isn’t holding himself to a timetable.
