Great news on parker. I think we get that done but obviously with the other news my opinion isn't worth much.

Will welcome Williams but I am in germs corner on saving the spot.

We're just gonna have to realize this staff evaluated and targeted Williams early, and despite guys like Bruner or Parker becoming available, they continued to kee Williams at the top of their list. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it will definitely be interesting to keep track of his season and development over the next 4 years. As for saving the spot, I don't think this staff is concerned about the numbers, think they're well aware there's a couple guys that may not make it by signing day 2017.

I agree come Friday I am done questioning it. Will welcome him with open arms

It will be interesting to keep up with Williams and Blackwell over the course of their careers and see if the evaluations pan out.
 
VQ said he wouldn't be in until Saturday morning, it's not set, if he's a fall commit have to feel we are about a lock, if he holds out til spring I don't like our chances.

Good info and I agree

The fact he is coming this weekend tells me the staff and he are trying to "rush" a Decision to get this done in this signing period that starts today.

I am sticking to me thinking that this gets done and we were behind all of this from the beginning. Hopefully I do better with this feeling than with mine on Williams.
 
Great early showings for 2 of our commits...

Phenom Hoops National Showcase: Friday Super 7

Grant Williams, PF, Providence Day (NC), 2016: You’re never going to worry about effort with the future Tennessee big man. Never. Paired against a big Oak Hill frontline, Williams stepped into the ring and threw haymakers like he’s been there before. The 6-foot-7 forward played above the rim and played with strength below it. Never one to back down from a challenge, Williams was good in defeat and did all that he could for his overmatched team. Williams signed with Tennessee after the game.
STATS: 23 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 from 3, 6-11 FT), 9 rebounds, 5 rebounds


John Fulkerson, PF, Christ School (NC), 2016: High energy, high production and good athleticism were the common traits thrown around scout’s row when watching the future Tennessee Volunteer on Friday against 22 Foot Academy. The 6-foot-8 forward had a good game against a bigger and more athletic team. Fulkerson played very well in the match-up and was the best big man on the floor for the game.
STATS: 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 from 3), 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block
 
@coreyevans_10: What did we learn yesterday. Man, SEC is loaded up. Even unheralded recruits are impressive. Tennessee, Miss St, Bama guys starred
 
So with 4 verbals in tow we are ranked number 58 in team recruiting. Not sure if I want to cheer or SMH.
