It's an extremely exciting thought, and I would love to see it happen. But landing all 4 of those players seems unlikely. I'll be happy if we just land 1 and thrilled and if we land two of them.

I will say many had the same mindset about Walker, Springer and Johnson...those were the Top 3 on the staffs board and they went 3/3

This wouldn’t just be an all time class for UT, but would be a top 5 all time class for programs like UK, Duke, etc. Oh man. Let me not get too excited.

It all depends on Kennedy Chandler. If he comes, I bet Tennessee gets at least two of them.

Idk about 2 of them, but I agree with your overall point...without him I don’t think we have much chance on any of them, with him and we are in it for all of them.

The fact Tennessee hasn’t pursued any other guards and reports of it being Duke/Tennessee, I’m guessing the staff right now feels pretty good about their chances with Chandler.

Would be 4 of the rivals Top 10...not sure how many times that has ever been done.

I was curious about that too. It's technically only happened once. In 2013 Kentucky signed 4 of the top 9, and 5 of the top 11 (Julius Randle, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Dakari Johnson, and James Young).

Duke came really close twice. In 2016 they signed 4 of the top 12. And in 2018, they signed 3 of the top 5, and 4 of the top 14 (the year with RJ Barrett, Zion, Reddish, and Tre Jones).

Kentucky had a few other years of getting 3 of the top 10.

Wow. Obviously I don’t predict us going 4/4, but pretty crazy to think about where that class would rank all time if it were to happen.

Interesting note I realized while doing some searching, Ingram took his UOV the same time as Walker, Johnson and Springer also took their visit to UT. So he has met those guys and I would assume has had some sort of contact with them.

An early commit (this summer) from KC, could go a long way. The idea that we lead for him is comforting, but the public perception of him being openly committed and him working on those other guys in an official capacity cannot be understated. He carries a lot of clout in that '21 class.

No doubt

This would be unprecedented territory for the basketball program and Barnes has already passed Pearl and Mears as the program's best recruiter.
