Allen is listed as a 2 guard, Tyndall was one of the few hoping to make him a full time PG

True, but wasn't that his attraction to Tennessee to begin with? The option to play PG full-time, and a wide-open lane to immediate playing time?

I'm not sure he has the same affinity for Tennessee without those assurances.

Yes it was, and I agree, I'm not sure we are a serious player here for him.

I'd say part of the reason they will take longer is so that they can keep the good players they have. It's a pretty stupid rule honestly but a rules a rule

Foley can release the players from their NLI, he doesn't have to wait on a new coach.

The last genuine, true PG we recruited as a HS senior and played out his career at Tennessee was CJ Watson.

-Trae Golden was a SG playing PG.
-Bobby Maze, JUCO.
-Melvin Goins, JUCO.
-A. Barton was a grad transfer.
-D. Thompson was more of a combo, but lasted only a year.
-R. Smith only lasted two years.
-Daniel West never played and transferred.
-W. Washpun played sparingly and transferred after a year.

Going back to before CJ...
-Jon Higgins was a combo guard, but similar to Golden, he filled the role admirably.
-Thaydeus Holden, JUCO.
-Harris Walker was a true PG, but was dismissed after his sophomore year.

Then you get to Tony Harris, who was a shoot first PG, but a PG all the same IMO.

So, since 1997 (unless I neglected to mention someone), we have recruited two true PGs as HS seniors, who have actually finished their careers at Tennessee. Two in 18 years...wow.

I was actually about to ask "when was the last time we got a true PG out of high school and not JUCO" and thought CJ watson? But figured it was insane to think it was that long.

Jordan Howell was a true point guard.

Well thought out assessment. I'm excited that Barnes looks to be changing this trend.

I always forget about Howell because he wasn't originally a Tennessee signee. He also played more as a SG at UT until later in his career when he played PG out of necessity. That is how I remember it.

Darius Thompson was a true pg. He was always looking to distribute. He had some of the best assists here since Watson. 2.4 apg in only 16.8 min. 2.56 a-to ratio. He would have been good last year as our pg.
