Without watching video, those numbers and size seems like a Kyle Alexander clone with a couple extra LBs.Nysier Brooks would be an interesting option...played at Cincinnati 3 years, hasn’t been said if he would be a graduate transfer or not but if he is would be worth a look.
6’11” 240lbs 23mpg 8.1ppg 6.3rpg 1.5bpg this past season.
It’s not ‘official’ yet, but based on what we’re hearing this week it seems like pretty much a done deal that 7-foot-0 Uros Plavsic, who just completed his freshman year at Arizona State, is going to be added as a transfer and be on campus sometime this summer. Again, this one isn’t in the books quite yet but he’ll end up a Vol barring some surprise.
-VQTennessee has some ties here. He attended Hamilton Heights in Chattanooga and then committed to Cleveland State, where former Tennessee graduate assistant Drazen Zlovaric was on the staff. When Zlovaric took a job at Arizona State, Plavsic followed him. Zlovaric was let go after this past season and as a result Plavsic is apparently moving on as well. He’s still something of a developmental prospect, but as the old saying goes, you can’t coach 7-feet.
Wonder if Schwartz has any connections to him being from CaliDerryck Thornton Jr. likely entering the portal as grad xfer. Former 5* PG who started at Duke and transferred to USC. Averaged 7.7 pts, 2.8 rebs, 4.3 assists, and 2.0 TOs this last season. Not a great shooter, however: 38.2%/28.6%/66.0% this last season.
Memphis lands Rayjon Tucker.
Man, they will be tough next year.
