"Now, a third team has crashed the party: The Tennessee Volunteers. Early next week, Tennessee will bring McKneely on for a visit, sources told 247Sports, and they are a real contender to land his commitment."

Nice!

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Nice!

Drew Kelso reps him. Very close with our staff.

Nice!

This sounds very promising. Would be a very very nice first addition to next year’s team. Dude is a 3 point marksman

That doesn’t hurt our chances either. If he visits next week I feel great about getting him.

So McKneely is one known visitor. Who are others possibly visiting soon? Freeman? McKneely and Freeman would be a nice start to the portal cycle.

Jackson, White, Atwell, McKneely, Wilkerson, Freeman, Folgueiras & Banks are names I think Tennessee has some strong mutual interest with right now.

So, assuming nobody leaves we have 4 returners in Okpara, Phillips, Estrella, and Boswell. Then the 3 freshmen coming in Brown, Evans, and Henderson. That’s 7 so we have room for what 8 more guys? Isn’t the roster max 15 now in basketball?

I thought we were going after Budd Clark? Did something change?

Better options came available. He's still on the radar, but you are going to take him until you've exhausted options on a couple others already in the portal, or that you believe will enter the portal.

Gotcha, makes sense. When i watched his film he popped way more than Jalen Jackson. Not saying he is better because who knows? But he just seemed quicker and more explosive to me from the highlights

We're involved?

That hasn’t been approved, most are rolling with 13 as the number and will just convert walk-on’s if that happens

Sounds about right, I think Wilkerson is high on the list as well but not sure how plausible he is

Is there a chance they’d move to 15 around the same time as the 5th year decision, or would that make too much sense?

Yes

That makes entirely too much sense

Only team I have seen mentioned with him is Arkansas I believe

That’s where he’s from so that makes a lot of sense, I know Tennessee is trying hard there like they did with McKneely

 

[TrippieRedd]

Ryan Conwell …….if only

4th team in 4 years, heck yea!

Don't look for logic where none exists!

Texas likely? Four schools in four years. Taking full advantage of the transfer rules.
