Guess who is projected higher in the BPI? Grow some nuts, boys. We’re in elite company now.

Not gonna matter down the stretch if they can't continue to land guys like Mann. I like Jones, but Mann is elite. UNC still carries more weight than UT in basketball. Vols had a great season last year. That year would've been a disappointing year for UNC fans.

We are poised to have the greatest year in school history. And that’s without recruits of Mann’s caliber. So I can’t wait to see what our team is like as our recruiting goes to the next level.

If you’re implying that one great season (that the blue bloods would consider a disappointment) coupled with what are probably slightly unrealistic expectations for this year puts us in the same stratosphere as UNC, Kansas, etc., then you aren’t being realistic. We need to sustain and build on that success over a decade-long period of time to start having that conversation.

Is our history equal? No. But in the here and now we are capable of beating all those blue blood programs. I apologize for not pathetically shivering at the thought of UNC offering a recruit we are going to sign.

The reality is that we knew this was coming when he re-opened his recruitment.

He has been blowing up after his recent performances and it has brought on the attention of Kansas and UNC.

If we are able to still pull Mann, this will be a big deal.

So, is Loyola-Chicago on par with UNC? The truth is that in this day and age, anyone is capable of beating anyone, so basing a school’s reputation on one season isn’t going to necessarily yield an accurate result.

No one is asking you to “pathetically shiver at the thought of UNC offering”, but to believe it isn’t a game changer for a lot of these kids is just ignorant. In the public’s eye, UNC>>>Tennessee in basketball whether you want to recognize that fact or not.

Going to be that much sweeter when we get a recruit with a UNC offer. Glass half full at least until the glass gets knocked over. Geez guys. Give up fast and easy huh.

any idea why he's unranked with that pretty good offer list?

He’s gonna be ranked in the next update, same for the other guy they offered Tyrell Jones. UNC was watching Mills a lot the last 2 weeks and reportedly were considering an offer, hasn’t happened yet but doesn’t mean it won’t come. Jones is #117 by 247 but likely Top 100 when it’s all said and done, Mills I see as more 101-150.

I'm not going full-ziti yet...but Mann is a kid that has a good relationship with an assistant coach at UT, which is coming off of one of the more successful years in recent program history...and we apparently aren't going to land him. Frustrating, to say the least.
