I really like both Fulkerson and Blackwell but I don't know UT has room for both do they ? The one area I am concerned about is the lack of pure shooters on the roster and so far amongst the players they are recruiting-- I love athletic slashers but the lack of pure outside shooters is glaring to me. Am I missing something ? Besides Lamonte Turner, who on UT's roster can shoot the lights out ?

The answer to this is yes you do have space. Both have too much upside to pass up. In UTs situation you need ballers plain and simple. You sort position deficts later. If a team is loaded at all the positions except for say point guard there are many transfer that can step in. That's the beauty of a coach like Rick Barnes, he is so vested in recruiting that I guarantee there is a pretty good transfer option somewhere in this country that wish they sign to play ball with him instead of going to X. If those players spurned UTjr they are probably a pretty decent player.

Has anyone heard anything about Blackwell taking any visits yet?

I think he may have had a visit scheduled to UVa, but I imagine that is no longer the case. Virginia just received a commitment from DeAndre Hunter. Essentially, he plays the same position as Blackwell, and it was Bennett's last grant-in-aid for the 2016 class.

The only school really pursuing Blackwell with any sort of real urgency is Vanderbilt.

That's disappointing since he was a top instate talent. Any paticular reasons behind it? Who else are we in on? New to basketball and trying to get ready for the season.

He stock is falling very fast. Many other schools going other directions as well

IMO we are going to end up with 1 top 100 player and the rest in the 100-200 range

A class 15-30 range in rankings

Now, he can be the "key" to the 2016 Class.

I know it is corny, but you were thinking it.
