The only official visit has been WVa. The others were unofficials last year or last Spring before his AAU performances. I'd bet he doesn't have a commitable offer from UF, UCLA Kansas or UVA since they haven't used an official on him.

Possible. Stills doesn't change my opinion. 6'10 and outside touch can't be taught.

Dan MacDonald who is a national analyst for Rivals, but works out of Georgia answered a couple questions on some Vol targets, fwiw he wrote the recent pieces on Okogie and Johnson so he's been in contact with those guys regularly...

On Jalen Johnson, says he could see that one ending this weekend as Jalen seems over the process, he really likes Tennessee's chances.

On Fulkerson, said he sees it being hard for Clemson, Georgia or Charlotte to beat out Tennessee, but that those schools are trying, ultimately sees him at Tennessee though.

On Josh Okogie, said he thinks it's down to Tennessee and Georgia Tech, he liked Tennessee but the recent GT visit gave him a lot to think about. Also, Dan said he's been told Okogie IS NOT visiting Tennessee this weekend, so that could definitely be cause for some hesitation on feeling this one is done deal to the Vols.

We must have lost some of our politically correct membership.
I used that expression last recruiting season and was burned at the stake.
It's flown by unnoticed twice now.

Definitely odd. With Williams Lewis says as of late Thursday night the plan was for Williams to UOV to Tennessee. We obviously don't know the reason, but some point Friday morning bit appears he opted to take an official to Richmond.

As for Okogie, not sure there, haven't seen VQ say anything on that one.

Makes me wonder if the Blackwell visit or even these 2 were ever really scheduled.

Grain of salt from here on out for sure

Dang, racist. hahaha nah I don't think so. Too many other quality schools had a head start on him. Imo

Too bad tho, cause I'm like you I'd have loved to see him in "the UT" orange.

Haha yeah, I figured, just seeing if anyone had any info I didnt. He will be interesting to watch develop wherever he goes though.

I thought that is what you meant.

I never saw confirmation on okogie.

Thanks

Yea, Rob Lewis said he wasn't able to get a ride up.

He's also said that Tennessee would gladly take Okogie still, his statement about that was that he's unsure of how Okogie will view Tennessee with Johnson's commitment, guess we will find out soon.

Intersting.

Okogie seems to have made his mind up before today. I wouldn't think today would change that decision unless the staff influenced it.
