    2026 Vols Basketball Target List

    Barnes seems to be bring a lot more kids for officials than in the past. Is this accurate or a lot of the visits posted by prospects not going to happen ? Do we have a much wider list than in the past or does it just seem that way because of so much being on social media ? Thanks

    Arena Club Donor

    I found the same agreement that was posted. I had 8 seats . I got two free parking passes for a pretty long time .At some point as I recall you got one free and paid for one and in recent years you paid for both . Because the document said “ priority duration - forever “ with a footnote that...

    Arena Club Donor

    I was Arena Club donor with eight tickets . None had been transferred to anyone. . I ask about retaining the seats I had . I was told seating would be based on contributions to TN Fund . I ask about Parking . They said I might get G3 which I have been in since beginning . G3 is being torn down...

    2016-2017 Vols

    He sounds a little like Howard Wood who played under Devoe. Howard was 6'7" 235 and not a super athlete but very effective. He spent a year in NBA and many years playing over seas. As I recall Williams is young . Wasn't he 16 when he signed? Does anyone remember?

    Ray Kasongo to transfer

    I misspoke. I think we will likely lose at least two and probably more . It is a big class with four or five guys playing outside depending on Fulkerson and they will be still competing with Mostella , Phillips and Admiral for playing time as they enter Sophmore year. Thanks for pointing...

    Ray Kasongo to transfer

    Graduating four would be wonderful. The fact there are so many guys competing at the same positions, means that some will leave. Williams seems like he is the only one of the six that is destined to play inside. Fulkerson could be a 4 if he can put on weight. The only way we don't lose...

    McRae's NBA Debut

    Jordan will never be as big physically as Josh. Josh can play the 1,2, or 3 . Jordan is a 1, or 2. Josh already is bordering on a elite defender and I'll be a better rebounder because of his size if that enters discussion. Jordan has always been a streaky shooter. I don't see that changing...

    Cuonzo v Barnes v Pearl

    What was the path to being an elite program with the signees he had coming in and the guys he had leaving? You are talking about a team as bad as the ones DT and Barnes had and that is in year four. Also according to VQ , he had done very little on the recruiting trail with underclassmen...

    Cuonzo v Barnes v Pearl

    Any discussion of Barnes, Pearl and Martin should relate to how they are coaching now, how they might be remembered based on the totality of their career at all their coaching stops and what they have accomplished at UT. I think in many of the discussions, people are talking about different...

    Forget the 15-19 record

    If you don't make NCAA tourney, I judge a season based on how much I enjoyed what we did in individual games. Beating Florida , LSU, SC, UK at home and knocking Vandy out of SEC and probably NCAA made for a pretty enjoyable year considering our talent level. Winning a few more games against...

    After one season----was Barnes the right hire?

    I'd say he was the right hire because he was the best guy available considering the situation we were in . I think at the minimum he will leave his successor with some decent talent . That is something that Cuonzo and DT didn't do although DT didn't really have a chance to build a roster because...

    16 TN SG Jordan Bowden (UT commit 3/22/16)

    I think in these discussions , it is often forgotten how much young players can change in a year. The kid from Carter might be an entirely different player than the one that played for Carter. It is extremely difficult for college coaches to know how good a player can be once you get...

    Recruiting Discussion

    It is much simpler than that . You google Turkey and NBA draft 2017 and you have a name in twenty seconds and save the board from going through thirty posts to find the secret. Of course it is not a secret because it had been talked about on VQ and a six year old code breaker could find out the...
