PG after Bone leaves?

[Tennessteve]

After we lose Jordan Bone, who are we going to turn to?

Do we have someone coming in who is going to run point?

Do you think we will look for a grad transfer at that time?

Are we actively recruiting a PG?
I would assume Tennessee looks like a great option for a top tier PG prospect. They will be coming into an experienced team that is able to compete right away.

(I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed. I've been away from the forums for quite a while, and I wasn't able to find anything on the subject in my 15 minutes of searching.)

Josiah James

Do we anticipate him being a 1 and done? If so, he will play alongside Bone next year, then leave. I know he's capable of running point, but I figured he would be a guard/small forward type of player given his size. I could be way off base though.

He's not going to be a one and done

I doubt he’s a one and done.

2 years we get out of him the most.

I do like the idea of the matchup problems he will cause again smaller guards.

He’s a PG who can play bigger due to his size.

Like you said, Barnes can use him in different ways.

Most likely we get at least 2 years out of him, and he was recruited to primarily play PG.

James will have some big shoes to fill after Bone leaves.

 

[k-town_king]

We don't know. We MAY still have James. He could be a one and done though.

We have 2 commitments for 2020 24/7: #31 a small forward and #32 a shooting guard both 4 star

Josiah james might get the start over turner if turner is not hitting next year and Josiah is.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

I can. I still have some eligibilty left.
When do I suit up?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

J. James = Baby Magic

I'm looking forward to watching him for 2 years at UT. 3 years would be outstanding.

I just don’t see him playing PG at this level.

I tend to agree

Who?

Unless TN signs a top rated PG, I think that James is the starting PG in 2020-21. He'll get occadional minutes in 2019-20, but spelling Bone at PG is Turner's job to lose next year.

I wonder if Bowden plays any PG next year. I thought that he was starting to look pretty serviceable this year after a few games, but seems like he's kind of given up that role with Turner back on the court after his shoulder got better.

There is only one clear choice:

Disagree, think Turner would be 3rd option at PG next year with JJ getting backup PG duty.

I’m asking who the 2nd 2020 commit is you speak of?

I think he is speaking of Keon Johnson but he is no where near commited to us unless OP knows something we dont
