People are being sarcastic. Our chances are slim. But he says he has family in East TN, which is important to him. He also says he and his parents have a good relationship with Martin.

I honestly haven't paid much attention to Looney's recruitment process. Can anyone provide a quick summary on why he is probably picking UT over others? CCM a big factor?

Lol he's not. We have a legit shot tho. CCM. Family in Tennessee. Has kept up with the program since his freshman year. It'll probably be Duke.

Not sure anyone's realistically picking Tennessee at this point. Martin has been on him since he got here, so he and his family have a great relationship with Coach Martin. Jeronne Maymon is also from up in Wisconsin and the two have been in contact for the last couple years about Tennessee and what it has to offer. As already mentioned Looney's father is originally from East Tennessee, and they still have lots of family in East Tennessee. Also, Looney visited Tennessee unofficialy last year, something he hasn't done to many schools, actually none that I know of.

I'm not suggesting he is picking the Vols. Just wondering what would motivate him to do so if he did.

Thanks. Night all.

Best of luck on Looney.

Two schools in state. You aren't countering his statement. Wisconsin is basically an official because he can afford it. Thanks for playing tho

Ok figured there were a couple just wasn't sure...Marquette isn't on his list so I wouldn't count them. So the only schools on his final list he's unofficialy visited is Wisconsin and Tennessee.

Well, golly gee, thanks for "letting" me play.

And I'll contact the NCAA, 247, Rivals, etc., and let them know that if the recruit can afford it and/or it's in-state, it doesn't count as an "unofficial".

Tennessee gets a shot at making a large statement on the recruiting landscape this weekend when the Vols host five-star forward Kevon Looney on his official visit. The nation's No. 13 overall prospect has been the focal point of the Vols' recruiting efforts in the 2014 Class for almost the last month and this weekend they'll have a chance to make their case.

Looney has already made official visits to Florida and Duke and has further trips lined up to Michigan State and UCLA. He has also made an unofficial visit to Wisconsin this fall and the Badgers appear to be a factor as well.

Looney has given away very little to say the least about which way, if any, he may be leaning. Our efforts to dig up some sort of feel this week seem to indicate that the Vols are in this one deep and looking at Duke as their main competition. With two more visits after this weekend--to a pair of powerhouse programs--and a long time until the early signing period, much could change here.

Looney is one of the most versatile scorers in this class and has the potential to be an instant impact player at the next level along the same lines of former Vol Tobias Harris. It's hard to underestimate what landing him could do not only for the Vols' current class but their national profile as well as the outlook for the 2014-15 season.

Not anything we don't know, but as conservative as VQ is, this makes me optimistic. Will be interesting what the vibe is coming out of the visit.

Always felt like it we had a legit shot. It's just hard to pass up Duke. I wouldn't rule out Wisconsin but I don't see it. Hopefully Looney gets to spend time with Maymon and Stokes. Then also Hubbs and the other freshmen.

There are huge chalk drawings all over campus saying, "Follow 5-star recruit @Loon_rebel5 on twitter" and "WE WANT @Loon_rebel5"

Pretty cool.
