What do the kids say, #BasketballSchool, #NewMoneyBlueBlood, #BarnesisaTop3Coach, #Fantastic4in'20=Final4in'20, or something like that ?Vols now 100% CB on 247 and 100% on Rivals futurecast for Springer. Three 5 stars plus great shot at PJ Hall. 4 star Victor Bailey and 4 star Uros Plavsic transfers. Holy Sh-t
I have no idea, can't hurt, tho. But, imo, getting 3 players drafted this year with 2 coming out as juniors and a 4th getting a NBA contract has more to do with itQuestion I'm asking myself is did the big money Barnes is receiving make him more appealing to these recruits because it shows stability.
His sister plays volleyball at Florida. His Dad grew up and fraternal grandparents live in Kingsport and Dad balled out there and is a UT fan, along with the grandparents. Florida is considered the favorite, but PJ likes Barnes and has ties to Tennessee, so 60-40, Florida, imo, right nowHow realistic is PJ Hall? I've read elsewhere he seems to be a FL lean.
Agreed. I believe Dylan Cardwell, out of Virginia is UT's back-up plan. 6'11 athlete, more in the Kyle Alexander mode, rim protector, rebounder, put back dunk kinda kid. Imo, way ahead of a junior Alexander, right now. Once again, imo, a senior Alexander kind of center already as a freshman. Probably not as good as Alexander mid-range and free throw shooter, but better everywhere else. Not a bad consolation prize if we miss out on HallHope so. We need a big man in the class.
Yeah, I may have gotten a little carried away on Cardwell, wv. Still think Cardwell is way ahead of a sophomore Alexander and I do believe he is a top 100 recruit. Definitely more of a classic big man than say PJ HallLove your enthusiasm Dog, but if Caldwell was as good as a senior Alexander right now, he’d be a top 20 recruit IMHO.
Cardwell is ranked #114 by Rivals and is a 4*. The most generous ranking for him, by far. Not even top 200 on 247.Yeah, I may have gotten a little carried away on Cardwell, wv.

I wouldn’t hate it if we landed him as a backup to Hall. My post wasn’t meant as a commentary on my feelings about him. Just clearing the air about where he’s ranked by the services. I’m of the belief anymore that Barnes could turn a turd into chocolate, so I’m there with you in that regard.I like Caldwell. I think he could be a huge player if developed well, and I think Barnes is just the guy to do that.
